Reviewer: Alex Weis from Mesa, AZ  
Quality, shipping, price were are all great. It would be nice to have an in depth user manual for this, rather than several how-to videos and website descriptions.

5 of 5 alphapix November 8, 2021
Reviewer: Dangela Bryant from Milton, FL United States  
The controller for the megatree was a huge hit with the kids walking through my light s so I bought a second to expand my RGB display as I can afford too.

5 of 5 AlphaPix Controller December 8, 2020
Reviewer: ROBERT HARPER from MISSOURI CITY, TX United States  
First foray into holiday lighting shows and I went with the simplest controller that I think would do the job.  Setup instructions on the website were clear and I was able to test pixels right away.  Getting things working with a Pi 3B+ took a bit but no fault of HolidayCoro.  Item was as described and the quality of the workmanship is high.
