Review on Corsair iCUE NEXUS Companion Touch Screen: Enhanced Control with 6 Macro Buttons & Live System Readouts by Narendra Thapa

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The "extra " PC accessory I bought

Pretty bad value for money, but if you really just want another PC gadget and you're running out of ideas (like me and my terrible compulsion , my consumer social roles) is a great (bad) idea. The user community is small, but some of them share their attitudes and experiences. You can use any GIF as an animated background, an image as a static background, and you can create just about any label you need. The use case for this product is very similar to the streaming deck, albeit in a completely different form factor. I use mine for quick access to launch various programs and web links and monitor system information. You can set up multiple screens and switch between them with customizable icons for each macro and background for each screen. But I liked the fact that I can install this on my K.70 LP and connect it to the KB passthrough port. This gives me a nice clean setup for a few macros and reading the info I need. Customer support was also fantastic. The firmware update broke the ability to view your PC to select an application to run with your macro, but I contacted them through the Corsair forums and they released a firmware version that fixed the issue the same day fixes. If I were on a tight budget I would never buy this, but if you have some cash to put in a blender this is for you.
