GLEDOPTO WLED ESP32 Mini LED Strip Controller RGB IC Digital with Mic Music Sound Mode DC5V USB Dynamic WS2811 WS2812 WS2812b WS2814 WS2815 SK6812 Addressable LED Strip

This is one of the best controllers. Very easy to set up. I have had smlight controller which are also really good but this is cheaper and easier to set up. Worked right out of the box. Highly recommend.

Must be a mem corruption issue going on. Every few months the device appears to function fine from the web ux but the LED's slowly start misbehaving and sometimes never turn on again. Uploading new fw and restoring configs will NOT fix it however a factory reset from the wled menu does the job.

worked perfectly for my needs, not the best WIFI pick up but for me it works out ok

I have been using it as an ambilight for a 27" monitor and it works as expected using Signal RGB.

What makes it worth the effort is how flexible and compact it is. After some experimenting, you can fine-tune brightness, effects, and timing exactly how you want, and the ESP32 chip gives you plenty of headroom for customization. It’s not a beginner’s controller — more of a “tinkerer’s toy” that rewards patience — but when it’s dialed in, it performs beautifully. If you like to experiment and don’t mind getting your hands dirty to make your setup perfect, this little board absolutely delivers.

All worked except the mic function per instructions. Mic function is a complete failure. 12/30/25 Updated to 5 stars. After communicating with the company I realized I was not using the correct effects in Wled for the microphone function to work. Had to be using an effect that had the musical note beside it. Thanks GLEDOPTO

If you want to play with WLED, this is your boy. Plug it into a cell charger, and attach a 5v LED strip (There are proper connectors on both ends) and then fire it up. The WLED app immediately finds it and lets you configure it. I had zero problems out of it, even through a WLED firmware update. I love this device.

Disappointed that I thought I was recieving a controller with usb-c capabilities. I received a unit with a usb-a plug and the pictures on the page displays both options. Did not notice that until I received the controller and did some homework. I purchased this with the intention of using usb-c as that allows me to use a longer strip/higher current and not be limited to usb-a specs/power draw. It works with wled as expected, but with some unexpected power restraints.
