Software – iCUE
All iCUE settings are depicted in the screenshots above. I have to admit that iCUE has vastly improved over the years. I remember this app to be super-complex and huge, but the recent versions are light and only show you the options relevant to your installed hardware. Corsair’s programmers did a fine job finally making iCUE usable.
If you do not wish to utilize the iCUE, the mouse can store one profile on its memory and has two operating modes:
- Hardware Mode – When iCUE is not running, or the mouse is connected to a device that does not support iCUE
- Software Mode – When iCUE is running on a PC or Mac, and the mouse is connected
The iCUE offers many settings, as seen in the screenshots above. The Corsair’s iCUE software has improved over the years and become more user-friendly. The ability to remap buttons, calibrate the mouse, adjust DPI, and perform other customization options is essential for many users who want a personalized experience with their hardware.
The option to uninstall iCUE after the initial setup is a good feature, especially for those who prefer to avoid having additional software running on their system or have specific reasons for disliking it. The fact that the mouse comes with onboard memory is a valuable addition, as it allows users to retain their custom settings without the need for the software running in the background.
Overall, Corsair has tried to address user concerns and provide a more streamlined and efficient experience with its iCUE software. Having the flexibility to choose whether or not to keep the software installed based on personal preferences is a positive aspect for users who may have reservations about using it.
