Review: Extra set of ports and RGB control via buttons instead of software. - First and foremost I got this to replace the empty piece of plastic that is there on this case and to provide me with an extra set of USB ports. At first I did not care about the RGB control not being done by the system but now it makes it makes it much nicer as I don't have to rely on a piece of software that may or may not work for the motherboard and operating system your using. Now granted the option for lighting control is not as nice as the software version but you still can have it be done by the controller or software, all you have to do is hit the right sequence to tell the controller on this that the software on the PC is in controll. The nice thing is by default it is already set up that way, so you don't have to change anything if you don't want too after installing this. The install was pretty easy, but you may need to get an adapter for the 19 pin USB plug to USB 2.0 port if the one on your motherboard is already being used by the one with the power and reset button or get a adapter for that one to the new USB 3.2 gen2 instead and plug this into the 19 pin port. I'm using it as USB 2.0 ports as it's only going to be for keyboard and mouse so fast enough for that. Review: Makes the Lancool 216 so versatile. - I moved the original board from the top and put it at the side so controls for lighting would be at the top and usb connections down low closer to the desk for ease of use. Smart choice. Added so much versatility to my case and controls lighting so well. Love the 216 looks and size. ## Features - LANCOOL 216 optional accessory - To control the lighting effects of the front fans - Additional 2 USB 3.0 ports ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BNGMFN9R | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,163 in Computer Cases | | Brand | Lian Li | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (123) | | Date First Available | April 17, 2023 | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 9.25 x 6.5 x 1.38 inches | | Item Weight | 6.3 ounces | | Item model number | LAN216-1X | | Manufacturer | LIAN LI | | Number of USB 2.0 Ports | 2 | | Number of USB 3.0 Ports | 2 | | Product Dimensions | 9.25 x 6.5 x 1.38 inches | | Series | LAN216-1X | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Lian Li - **Case Type:** Mid Tower - **Color:** Black - **Cooling Method:** Air - **Item Weight:** 180 Grams - **Material:** Aluminum - **Model Name:** LAN216-1X - **Motherboard Compatability:** ATX - **Power Supply Mounting Type:** Bottom Mount or Rear Mount - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Business, Gaming ## Images ![Lian Li Lancool 216 RGB Controller Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Jqe61QzeL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this work for lian li 205 mesh case?** A: No different case ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extra set of ports and RGB control via buttons instead of software. *by S***0 on May 9, 2025* First and foremost I got this to replace the empty piece of plastic that is there on this case and to provide me with an extra set of USB ports.

Smart choice. Added so much versatility to my case and controls lighting so well. Love the 216 looks and size. ### ⭐⭐⭐ This requires a 19 pin usb 3.0 header, else it would be 4 stars *by I***P on January 22, 2025* Wish I'd read other reviews first. Besides the light control buttons, this item has two USB-A ports. More USB is always nice. .....but many motherboards only have one 19 pin USB header, and mine is one of them. In having a Lian Li 216 case, the power button panel also has two USB ports and their plug occupies the single 19 pin header on my board. This item should have come with two usb 2.0 plugs for the USB ports. The USB 2.0 to 19 pin 3.0 cable adapter on Amazon is out of the question, as bad reviews of pins falling out prove lack of the quality control and therefore quality. This means it's dealer's choice of a couple useless USB ports, buy a PCIE card with 19 pin connection, or go through the trouble of clipping off the 19 pin and installing two USB 2.0 connectors. As for the LED controller portion, there is no dimming. Besides that, it does well enough to change from the default Pride parade to some range of colors and effects on the fans and rings. I was lucky enough to have some RGB fans that took on the desired blade color, except for one LED that was the color of the ring. I don't know whether blame lies with the 216 RGB controller or the fan manufacturer. I have three models of Thermalright fans, two of which exhibited this.....undesirable trait. <******************edit below******************> Got 140mm ARGB fans from Phanteks ---> 3 LEDs take on the color/effect assigned to the halo of the Lian Li 160mm front case fan. Ergo, the 'undesirable' effect is a function of the controller assigning color/effect values for different zones in a single array. Think of an ARGB fan as having an array of LEDs numbered as follows: LED 1, LED 2, LED 3,..., LED Last. The left side of the LAN216-1 handles colors/effects for those. Directly afterward and in the same array are the 216's front halo LEDs assigned as: LED Last +1, LED Last +2, LED Last +3,..., etc. The right side of the controller handles color/effects for that end of the array. On ARGB fans, any 'off' count will always be near where the power wire goes in. If your ARGB fan/accessory has more LEDs than a Lian Li fan, the extras will exhibit the color characteristic assigned by the right side of the controller. If it has less LEDs than a Lian Li fan, effects that 'chase' (ie: around the fan) will exhibit a 'pause' while nonexistent LEDs are signaled. If it has an array of LEDs totaling more than + , most likely none of the 'overage' LEDs will even light up. Lian Li is certainly not the only manufacturer to utilize 'proprietizing shenanigans' to justify inflated prices in the name of compatibility. (ie: the model of Phanteks I chose push WAY more air, have a much longer warranty, and were significantly cheaper than similar offerings from Lian Li.) Darn shame this shenanigan backfired a bit, as the effect of this lazy engineering on off-brand fans has grown on me. I love how the LAN216-1 panel fits in the case. I love that it is a 100% hardware solution, allowing the same color pallet in both Windows and Linux without any bloated software running in the background. I love that there is no remote to lose. If this thing had dimming and did not require a 19 pin header, I would definitely bump it up to 5 stars. .....thus, the review sticks at 3 stars. ## Frequently Bought Together - Lian Li Lancool 216 RGB Controller Black - LIAN LI LANCOOL 216 E-ATX PC Case, Airflow Focus RGB Gaming Computer Case with All-Around Mesh Panels, 2x160mm & 1x140mm PWM Fans Pre-Installed and Innovative Rear PCIe Fan Bracket Chassis (Black) - AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core, 16-Thread Desktop Processor --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/506436642-lian-li-lancool-216-rgb-controller-black](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/506436642-lian-li-lancool-216-rgb-controller-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
