How to download Corsair drivers and firmware on Pop!_OS?

[Elektra57]

I am having an issue with my Keyboard as seen here:

 

 

The only things I have not tried are updating the driver and firmware because I am using Pop!_OS with KDE Desktop environment and I am not sure how or if I can. I have googled and have not found a good guide. Has anyone successfully done this and can push me in the right direction?

 

TIA!

There's no official Linux support for iCue as of yet.

You can pledge your support for some here.  But other than plugging it in to a windows machine and using iCue on that i've got no other suggestions

I should note that if the keyboard was working fine originally and now it's typing weird numbers then I don't think it's a driver issue. If there's no driver support then it just won't work, in this case it's probably at least partially supported by the generic keyboard input driver - suddenly inserting numbers is not what I'd expect.

 

The simplest way to check for problems with the keyboard itself is to plug it in to another computer and see if it does the same thing. Preferably on a windows computer with official drivers just to rule everything out. Maybe you can get a friend to let you try their machine?

It was the next step that was recommended. To reinstall driver and firmware if the KB rest didn't work. I am going to try the KB on my son's pc and see if it does the same thing. Thanks for the suggestion.

Okay. Works on my laptop. >.<  Not windows. It is a Chromebook pos.

Then it is indeed software related then

Not sure how, but it works now.  It's so strange but this all happened when I plugged in a USB hub and my Samsung watch charger and since I unplugged it, it hasn't happened again. I am stumped.
