Hardware Lighting (Commander Pro/Lighting Node Pro) in v3.10

[Corsair James]

Hi everyone.

I just wanted to provide an update since this was a common request. In the next version of iCUE (v3.10), we are introducing hardware playback (per channel) on Commander Pro and Lighting Node Pro. This means we will finally allow all of our users in iCUE to change the default lighting pattern when iCUE *is not* running. Due to hardware limitations, the effects will be much more limiting than software mode, but we were able to apply this to LL Series RGB fans, something that wasn't possible before in LINK.

I know this feature has been long in demand but one of the reasons why it took so long is because iCUE lighting is very different from LINK lighting so we had to redo a lot of this in the backend. We have many more enhancements in our development pipeline but as this was a popular feature in LINK, I wanted to share this first to address all of the requests and concerns.

I've attached a screenshot here for your preview:

very nice work! this is perfect for me D

any news on ambilight for node pro or commander pro?

[rene mauricio]

Put me down for thinking ambient lighting was a more common request. That or allowing us to change the order (and direction) in which attached devices light up.

:-(

Still. Progress is progress and I am glad the year is closing out on a positive note.

AWW THAT'S BEAUTIFUL!! I really had given up hope about this, I'm very happy this has been addressed and fixed!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!

Hey, hey!

Let us make this thank-you thread have more pages than the complaining one.

Great work all around!

Yeah it is nice that Corsair listens. They can't just snap their fingers and magically get things done, they work to a goal and deliver. Thank you James and great work! Look forward to new features of iCUE!

Thanks so much! This is a feature I've always wanted!

Three questions:

1. Can the "hardware lighting" be different than your "lighting channel" selection ? For example, I use "Pong" lighting channel mode, can I choose static for the "hardware lighting" ?
2. WHEN IS 3.10 !!!!! :)
3. I know this is a long shot, but any chance this applies to the MM800 mousepad ? If not its still a great step in the right direction. Is the MM800 possible ?

P.S - 3.10 would be a great XMAS gift :)

Nope, unfortunately not. The MM800 doesn't have any onboard memory or much smarts.

I think you'll see it before then but that's up to Corsair James.

[Corsair James]

I plan to deploy v3.10 on 12/3 if it passes our validation team's testing.

exciting times for the Masses!!..

Thank You James and Team!

What about the K95 Pro Platinum Keyboard? I'd like to see it boot up with solid colors instead of each key blinking in a weird fashion :D

could always do that anyways dude.. just save a profile you want into its onboard storage in iCUE

[natefrog]

YES! YES! YES! YES!

I cannot wait for this, I am so tired of the rainbow disco when my monitor goes into standby mode.

I'm assuming I can set hardware lighting to static color black (off) this way all LEDs are off when my monitor goes into standby?

Also I've been eyeing several new Corsair goodies I'd like to purchase, but have been holding off until my LNP would work how I want, so it looks like very soon I'll be saying TAKE MY MONEY!!! ;)

Edit: grammar
