In use, the NZXT Sentry Mix is very simple and easy to set. Each potentiometer controls one channel, and there is no way to turn off a fan.

There is also no kind of fan speed sensing, which means the controller will not show if the fan is really spinning or if it has stopped for some reason. Actually, it doesn’t even show if there is a fan connected to each channel.

On the other hand, the channel number below each potentiometer is illuminated and, pressing the button at the left of the controller, you can change the color. You can set it to red, blue, green, purple or white. Pressing the button for several seconds will turn off the light (while keeping the fans still being controlled).
