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

Better add aspirin to your cart!

This might seem like a nice addition to your build, but be careful. MANY have reported that this causes a slight system freeze where you can move the mouse and type but the system is basically unusable. After a week of troubleshooting a new PC build, it turned out that Nexus was causing the freezes. It really is a shame that a $100 part can kill a $10,000 gaming rig. Corsair can actually spend several weeks testing and fixing the issue. I have detailed logs showing USB port and status during soft hang. the port is always connected to the Nexus. If I can collect the data, I'm sure Corsair can. So far their support hasn't been very helpful, but they've responded. I'll be keeping an eye on Nexus development over the next few months and will update my review if Corsair ever fixes the bug. Problem.

Pros
  • Get the power of CORSAIR iCUE software with a fully customizable LCD touchscreen that lets you control games and applications, your system and more - it's an interactive projection display for your PC.
Cons
  • little things
