Review: Niche Use Case - So, Apple, in their infinite wisdom, have decided that the small white LED in front of the Mac Studio computer should not fade in and out when the Mac Studio is in sleep. Incredibly it stays on all the time. So you have no idea if the computer is sleeping or awake. How crazy is that? Mac mini’s have had that feature forever. Well this little device can be plugged into one of the USB ports of the Mac studio. I have mine plugged in the front, and with a little bit of software magic it will stay green while the computer is awake and active and then it will turn Amber and then eventually turn off when the computer is sleeping so you can tell at a glance what your computer is doing. Obviously the colors are controllable. The states are controllable and you can use this device for other things like flashing in different colors when you get an email or when something happens so it acts as a visual indicator for a lot of things, but for my purpose I got it specifically so I can tell when my Mac studio is sleeping and when it’s awake. Review: Easy to Use, Powerful Software - Blink(1)s have been around since the early days of the Maker Movement and have been great fun to configure and use. The software also makes it trivial to spin up an API if you want to write your own code to send it messages that change the colors, brightness, and blinking patterns, and I suspect you could figure out how to leverage a connection service like IFTTT or Zapier for that purpose if you’re knowledgeable about networking as well. If you want a light that automatically signals events, this is a terrific solution. ## Features - Customizable LED status light with USB connection - Keeps you updated with various colors for desired activities and news - Includes USB extension cable - Open-source hardware and software ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07Q8944QK | | Best Sellers Rank | #579 in USB Flash Drives | | Brand Name | ThingM | | Cable Type | USB | | Color | rgb | | Compatible Devices | kompatibel mit Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8, Mac OS X, Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, etc.; läuft auch auf Chromebooks mit Linux-Betriebssystem), Raspberry Pi / Beagle Bone / DD-WRT Router, FreeBSD | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connector Gender | Male-to-Male | | Connector Type | Usb | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (65) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00758524799640 | | Included Components | Blink, USB-Verlängerungskabel (ca. 150 cm) | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Item Shape | Stick | | Item Weight | 0.07 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | ThingM | | Maximum Current | 500 Milliamps | | Maximum Voltage | 525 Millivolts | | Model | BLINK1MK3 | | Number of Pins | 4 | | Other Special Features of the Product | OSHW, RGB, USB-controllable, open source | | Recommended Uses For Product | Extend USB connection range | | Specification Met | Open Source, Compatible With Various Standards | | UPC | 758524799640 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ThingM - **Cable Type:** USB - **Connector Type:** Usb - **Special Feature:** OSHW, RGB, USB-controllable, open source ## Images ![ThingM Blink(1) USB RGB LED BLINK1MK3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SpxjlryKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Niche Use Case *by S***H on April 4, 2026* So, Apple, in their infinite wisdom, have decided that the small white LED in front of the Mac Studio computer should not fade in and out when the Mac Studio is in sleep.

The software also makes it trivial to spin up an API if you want to write your own code to send it messages that change the colors, brightness, and blinking patterns, and I suspect you could figure out how to leverage a connection service like IFTTT or Zapier for that purpose if you’re knowledgeable about networking as well. If you want a light that automatically signals events, this is a terrific solution. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A neat gizmo, nicely made, useful *by D***P on October 16, 2019* My Blink(1) mk3 is well-made and nicely finished. The lights are bright, and pleasantly diffused by the cover. I downloaded the Windows command-line program and the Windows UI program, and they worked well. The two internal LED's Independently set color, brightness, flashing and fading. I like the included USB cable. I would like to find better descriptions of the storable pattern and "serverTickle" features. Where? After a brief bit of searching, I was able to find the NodeJS API at Github (todbot/node-blink1). I was able to recompile it for electron (electronjs.org), updating the native-based API from NodeJS version 72 -> 73. This works wonderfully, and will add a sweet WOW! factor to my next project. I expect this little $30 gem will pay for itself, in short time. ## Frequently Bought Together - ThingM Blink(1) USB RGB LED BLINK1MK3 - Syntech USB C to USB Adapter Pack of 2 USB C Male to USB 3.0 Female Adapter Compatible with MacBook Pro Air 2024, Microsoft Surface, iPad,Samsung Notebook, Dell XPS and More Type C Devices,Space Grey - USB 2.0 Micro USB Male to USB Female OTG Adapter (2 Pack) --- ## 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.tn/products/124516503-thingm-blink-1-usb-rgb-led-blink1mk3](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/124516503-thingm-blink-1-usb-rgb-led-blink1mk3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-16*
