ICUE On linux

[Maomocake]

Recently i found that ICue Mac version is back again therefore I want to start a new thread asking @Corsair Nick about the state of linux support for Icue

 

If we can just get the protocol of how corsair devices communicate to each other im sure the linux community can take it from there

I don't deal in RGB, but there are open source lighting controllers OpenRGB being one. I can't say whether it is any good, but it looks to be legit.

Works for literally everything in or on my PC...

 

ROG Strix X570F-Gaming

Corsair H115 Platinum (both block and fans)

2 x Coolermaster ARGB fans plugged into the board header

ROG Pugio Mouse

Corsair K65 Keyboard

 

All it really needs is a daemon so settings are kept between reboots.

• liquidctl
• GKraken
• ckb-next
• OpenRGB

Just an FYI, like all hardware on Linux RGB devices show up as files in /dev, all you need to do is echo the correct command to the correct device and it changes.

But send the wrong command to the wrong device and kill it. Be careful with that.

That is exactly why im asking for proper documentation, I use ckb-next personally but if you look at the github there is alot of uncertainty to the docs and also not all models are supported. All the repos you listed reverse engineer the protocol which is less than ideal.
