Hey Guys,

I just bought a Blinkstick Pro plus the LED adapter to control a lighting strip behind my monitor.  
Unfortunately, the arrangement of the contacts on the Blinkstick Pro is [power, R, G, B] and the arrangement on the strip is [power, G, R, B]. So if i change the red value in software it affects the green LEDs and the other way round.  
Is there any way of changing the arrangement on the software side of am I better off just soldering the wires the other way?  
(I’m on 2.0 rc9)

You can change the wires at the RGB out ports of the led adapter. This is the best way imo.

Good call, thanks! That seems extremely obvious in retrospect now
