I just recently got a rather long RGB strip with an IR controller. It uses a 12v, 5A power supply. My plan is to cut it up and use part of the strip in my computer case and part in my keyboard as a backlight, with the connecting wires running along the keyboard's USB cord. This way they will both show the same color. My question is this: Will having the two parts connected by such long wires (6 ft) affect the performance?
I'm just getting into working with electronics, so I'm sorry to ask such a basic question.
