iCUE - Corsair Utility Engine

Not too long ago, Corsair was only known for producing RAM modules, but they have since delved into the gaming peripheral market and are at the forefront of putting RBG lighting in every device you can think of.

Their peripherals are famed for letting you customize pretty much everything about how they look and function, and Corsair provides you with a comprehensive application that enables you to manage all your devices – iCUE.

The Corsair Gaming brand has become remarkably popular since its launch, and it is used to market a wide range of devices, including mice, keyboards, headsets and mouse pads, all of them designed with gamers in mind.

With this utility, you can manage all your peripherals from one place, and you can create multiple profiles to quickly switch between presets without changing each device’s settings. The program even includes some sample devices that can help you test out the software’s features.

The customization capabilities offered by this utility are possibly the most advanced we’ve seen to date. When setting up macros, for instance, it can record key presses, clicks, delays, scrolling and even mouse movement, and every event can be fine-tuned later on.

iCUE enables you to create pretty much any lighting effect imaginable, which is one of the main reasons users choose these devices. If you want to keep things simple, however, you can just disable the advanced mode and select from several popular effects that come with a limited number of customization options.

Multiple DPI ranges can be set up for your mouse, and the application also allows you to create and manage equalizer presets for your Corsair headset.

To put it simply, iCUE is one of the most comprehensive applications we’ve come across for managing peripherals, and it is designed in such a way as to remain accessible for novices.

The utility lets you customize and fine-tune almost everything related to your device’s behavior and appearance, and it features an intuitive GUI that you can find your way around effortlessly.
