Clumsy control software with bugs, minimal customization.

I own several Corsair products and have a true love-hate relationship. I have a keyboard that I love, an RGB lighting system that I hate, and then a Nexus. The hardware is solid and promising. I like the device itself and what *could be done* if the software was better. Since it's iCue, a Nexus plugin, it often crashes at least 2 or 3 times a day. Development support is minimal or non-existent, and there's little you can do with it other than press a key or macro. If it had an API, stable…

Pros
  • View detailed, real-time system monitoring from your CPU and GPU, as well as temperatures, fan speeds and more from iCUE compatible devices.
Cons
  • Appearance

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…

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.

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

Didn't expect it to be that good

This is the type of product that you're not sure you really need until you get it and wonder how you could be without it . With all the not very good reviews, especially about the screen, I hesitated for a long time before buying it, but when my aunt gave me money, I decided to try it. First, the device looks very good. Quality and sticks very well to my K95. Buttons and widgets are easy to customize with iCUE and you can customize them as you like (color, size, background image, etc.). You can

A screen like this shouldn't cost nearly that much.

If the device is intended primarily as an accessory for your keyboard, I think everything is fine in that regard. It can run macros that you set up in icue. If you're familiar, this can do anything your keyboard can. Now let's say you have one of the three keyboards to mount this device to, this mount *sticks* to the back of your keyboard and you forego the USB pass-through port on your keyboard. for the screen (and no, you can't put regular USB connectors through the mount. That connector is…
