What is it?

This is a small 71mm x 71mm (2.8" square) matrix of LEDs arranged in an 8x8 layout. These have an input and output, so are chainable for larger configurations.

The LEDs are SK6812 (WS2812 / NeoPixel compatible) and can be used with any library or LED controller that supports WS2812 / NeoPixel.

In this kit you get the board with LEDs assembled (pictured). Some soldering is involved to attach wires or a connector to the panel (not included).

The most inexpensive 8x8 NeoPixel around.

At $14, this is the most inexpensive 8x8 WS2812b matrix you can find. Adafruit and Sparkfun also deserve our business, but they sell their equivalent for $35. You can order direct from Shenzhen on eBay and Aliexpress for about $7 shipped, but most will take a month to arrive. I ordered this on a Friday and received it on Monday (US WA->CA).

I've been using this as a way to learn pixel mapping and it's my first time working with a matrix. Setup was straightforward, took a minute to solder, and worked easily with Pixelblaze defaults.

I'm basically on my webcam all day now, so when I'm not writing patterns with it I use it as a color-correcting light source to augment my poor room lighting. That means I can speak favorably of the working life and heat handling a bit, as I've had it on about 10 hours a day for 2.5 months.

Disclosure: I'm a self-admitted Pixelblaze superfan. I help a lot of people on the forums and produce some Pixelblaze documentation, but I receive no compensation from Ben (AKA Wizard/ElectroMage) other than a few boards of beta hardware that I've agreed to help test.
