Segment ④ is optional. You can choose between three-sided or four-sided mode based on your needs.

The sampling order of the strip is: Bottom-left → Top-left → Top-right → Bottom-right → Bottom-left.
Ensure consistency during installation. The green end is the strip’s Type-C connector, and the other end connects to NanoKVM-Pro via the adapter cable.

Cut the LED Strip

Cut the LED strip according to the screen’s width and height.

The number of LEDs on opposite sides must remain consistent.

Example: Screen height 18 LEDs, width 30 LEDs.

  • Segment ①: 18 LEDs
  • Segment ②: 30 LEDs
  • Segment ③: 18 LEDs
  • Segment ④: 30 LEDs

When cutting, make sure to cut along the red line (the midpoint between contacts):
