  • Corsair requires the installation of iCue (1.1GB) in order to keep their keyboards running correctly.
    EDIT: Realized that one is unmaintainted, so here’s a maintained one: https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next. Source: 8 months ago
  • I haven't been fully indoctrinated yet, as my room still receives sunlight
    There is unofficial software written for Linux to interact with the corsair keyboards, like the k95. https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next. Source: 11 months ago
  • Why Use Linux?
    You can control corsair keyboard rgb with https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next. Works fine on my ancient strafe keyboard and the assorted corsair mice I've used. Source: about 1 year ago
  • My RAM light permanently not working now after running OpenRGB for 3 days on new PC Build
    Not sure. I use ckb-next which is for linux and only supports corsair devices as I have corsair ram and peripherals. I never really had any luck with openrgb tbh. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Gaming mouse software in kubuntu?
    Ckb-next is for Corsair devices, and mostly is for RGB, but does offer mouse button configuration. I use this one with my M65 Elite as it also configures DPI level settings and other items, as well as per-led lighting. Source: about 1 year ago
