Following the launch of Corsairs new RGB mechanical keyboards, the Corsair utility engine (CUE) software was introduced. Reviews suggest it is a highly detailed tool offering full control over keyboard settings. Yet it appears to contain many bugs and missing features. Reflecting on my previous use of Corsair’s link software alongside a corsair commander node for two years now, I realize the company hasn’t always met expectations. My link system occasionally missed Corsair-designed components, especially with different software versions, and the interface felt slow and lacking in useful options. Despite appreciating Corsair’s build quality and hardware, I believe their software often falls short of what users anticipate. If Corsair aims to align its products more closely with their hardware, the development team should improve. Other perspectives on Corsair’s software would be welcome.
I wasn't surprised when Linus mentioned the poor quality software. After using corsair link for my h100i for almost a year, the software felt very unreliable and full of bugs. Despite doing a lot of research to find out if this was widespread, I think their development team really needs to be replaced with fresh talent. I still appreciate their products and they're excellent, but the software aspect is really harming them.
I've been using the K70rgb for a week. The software works well, though it can be a bit tricky with some minor issues. Its high level of customization is really impressive, and I think focusing more on functionality than ease of use was the correct choice.
