Corsair Utility Engine Software - iCUE now at v4.0
Corsair LED-lit products make use of what called Corsair Utility Engine these days called iCUE, over time the software has been overhauled and is looking quite good (albeit for some could be somewhat complicated to use). Ever since March 2021 Corsair has released build 4.09 of the software,a dn it has received a massive overhaul in terms of the GUI. You get the very same features though we think that ELGATO product and Corsair products over time might merge into one software suite. Any device compatible with iCUE will be shown here. The “Scenes” will adjust all compatible devices to have the same color options across all devices.
It has advanced greatly though. You get to use options like configure both the lighting portions of the keyboard as well as create powerful actions such as macros, re-mappable key assignments and more. When you initially open iCUE, you will see a new device tile for K55. Clicking the device tile will bring you to the device screen (below) where you will see some new and updated features for K55 RGB including:
- Hardware Actions
- Hardware Lighting
- Onboard Profiles
Remember though, if you purchase the more affordable non-XT model then there are differences. One has RGB lighting Zones x5 while the XT has per-key RGB.
