Last week I found great products on eBay that I had no idea that existed. Also, there were some others on my wishlist that I’ve finally ordered.
So, today I’m going to share with you 9 cool products I bought on eBay that you might also like. I’m really looking forward to receive the items so that I can start making new projects and tutorials. Continue reading to see what I’ve bought and get inspired to new project ideas.
Touch Panel for RGB LED Strip
I had no idea this cool product existed. This is a touch panel to control an RGB LED strip. The touch panel has a modern and elegant look and the panel is covered with a glass. This panel is intended to be mounted on the wall as a finished solution.
