Application & Control Software

Corsair delivers the mouse with their proprietary control software called Corsair Utility Engine (CUE). It is the basis control software that is used for their RGB keyboard, headsets and mice.

On first start, the CUE software will update your mouse if needed with new firmware, for the new GLAIVE  model preconfigured profiles are uploaded into the mouse, three of them. These allow differentiation of Macros, DPI, RGB, Calibration and whatevere you prefer to fiddle around with. At that default tab you should look into your optional profiles and select the profile you wish to have active on the Glaive RGB. The actions tab is where you obviously can define your Macros. here you may you can add, import, or export files, or reassign basic mouse button functionality.

The new update of CUE is much better to operate and understand, really a massive improvement over the previous iterations. It is an extensive suite where a wide variety of preferences can be set up in several profiles. Configurable DPI levels, button assignments and so on. The lighting system can be setup for three zones individually.  We get the lighting zones to any of 16.8 million different RGB colors and you may even add a few lighting effects. As stated, Corsair is king of RGB bling, you name it you can do it here.

At the DPI tab, well you can guess it right? You may assign the five selectable DPI stages, from as little as 100 DPI towards that massive 16,000 DPI (plus everything in-between). That white dot indicates the current DPI stage. All the way below where you see sniper, that's actually a cool one ... it is a sniper setting is for the first DPI level. You may also reassign the snipe mode towards to another button of your preference.

We to date did not run into any issues with the new software. Above short and simple, here you configure angle snapping. The software can predict where you want to go, pointer precision or change the pointer speed. Below the last screenshot is surface calibration.
