TwistedXenos Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 WTF Corsair, this topic was made 3 years ago and there is still no Linux support, how arrogant :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khuffmanjr Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I use linux only and would appreciate Corsair opening the APIs, completely, to the community. Right now I use CKB-next just to get my scimitar RGB elite to move my mouse pointer more than a pitifully small distance before needing to lift and repeat the movement. I don't care about RGB, at all, but I do like the feel of the scimitar, so I'd like it to be well-supported under linux. The mouse wheel sucks and requires the user to open it and apply grease/lubricant so it won't freak out and scroll wherever it wants to when engaged, but I can handle that bit of maintenance, I guess. I also use a K55 Pro Lite RGB keyboard. Again, not interested in light shows but back-lighting, in general, is nice to have. I've purchased three similar keyboards in the past year. Linux support would be nice even it comes from a community leveraging access to the complete APIs. Anyway, +1 from me. I use Pop_OS! LTS releases if that matters.

Ian0966 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 With regards to Linux, I have the Hardware lighting setup so I am happy there. But what is really annoying is that in Windows the iCue software is set to "quiet" for all my fans.. Reboot to Linux and RGB is great because of the Hardware lighting but fan speed is full, very very very noisy :-( If only it could support hardware cooling i.e. remember the settings when booting into a non windows system. Anybody know of a way round this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeDoyen Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 you'd have to set fan curves based off a thermal sensor connected physically to the controller. Hardware cooling works, but only with a hardware sensor. You can install a thermistor somewhere in the case to probe for internal temperature, and set a fan curve based on it, then you'd have your fans respond to raise in temperature when your GPU starts getting loaded for example. It's just a matter of finding the right setup for your particular build. Once the sensors are in place, and your fan curves done, the controller will keep using these even without icue, or windows.

thispaghetti Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 It's crazy that after 3 years of people commenting on this thread, which truly represent a larger demographic of people who just won't speak up, and how this company just won't listen. It's lost a competitive business edge, by not continuing to try to make its' product the best available. With the amount of programming and gaming that is done on Linux in contemporary society, maybe this business would be better off with leadership that is better in touch with modern technology, and its use cases.

rambo919 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 The annoying thing now is using the keyboard on Linux the 6 G keys are useless because they map to number keys instead of function keys due to there not being any generic 110 key option.... so I cannot even use them to combo's. ckb-next I also found with experience only has half functioning experimental support for this model so that does not help either.

GeckoEidechse Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 With the Steam Deck gaining more and more traction and other manufacturers also releasing Linux native devices it would be nice to see Corsair also support Linux natively or at least release protocol specifications of their products so that open-source developers can add Linux support for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooley2009 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 BUMP x 10000000! Unbelievable that they have not even announced their intertest in supporting NATIVE Linux for their software! Boys you guys are lazy! Someone grow a pair and speak up at the next DEV conference and put this reply on the screen for EVERYONE to see. Get on THIS! I use Linux over Windows for video and image rendering because the gains in performance are THERE. Please guys! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiralfeb Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I'm on linux, PopOS specifically. I'm considering a couple of corsair devices, but unless there's linux support, I refuse to consider the devices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taitep Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I like linux a lot, the only thing that is hindering me from using it is iCUE. I cannot easily see what i type, and if i am going to put rgb on my keyboard using something like OpenRGB or ckb-next, my mouse looks wierd since it is not supported. It is only a temporary solution to put hardware lightning on them from windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septera Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I needed to exit a Window(s) so i got started with Linux. (I love it btw) I have been using all that is Corsair for as long as i can remember, but i must say that i am disappointed. The lack of support from Corsair when it comes to Linux is mind blowing. I can see that this is a ongoing problem for Corsair just by this thread, and asking for a quick fix might be to much to hope for. Changing out all my Accessories might be a huge pain but it will be done if that is whats needed to keep my PC under my control. There is alternatives out there, but i hope Corsair will step up so I can keep the Hardware I have come to love and trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auwers Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I feel like people don't buy Corsair products for Linux because there is no official support, but Corsair won't support Linux because there is no user-base? Perhaps Corsair should take the leap, and see what happens. Also a big shout-out to the ckb-next open-source project on Github, for making keyboard and mice adjustments possible while we wait for official support.

LeDoyen Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) no need to take a leap into the unknown. Given their primary gamer target, they just have to take a look at the steam hardware survey for example. Windows 97.75%, OSX 1.41%, Linux 0.84% (and decreasing). It would be nice to have but the incentive is almost nonexistent. If they took 5 minutes to develop a new RGB effect, sales would probably bump automatically. If they spent 6 months developping iCUE for Linux, they probably wouldn't even notice it in the sales numbers. Just giving the bean counters perspective on the matter.

uNoTopia Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 +1 ................. It's painful to hear my dual boot Windows / Linux machine boot into Linux with 999999 rpm and not being able to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToucanTom Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) Using Pop!_OS on my current custom-built PC, will probably try Arch, Fedora or Gentoo once I get used to things but that will be months - if not years - down the line. This is my second attempt at going Linux-only and I have to say, I don't see any reason why I should go back to Windows. I haven't needed to figure out how to use WINE or anything like that yet and I'm glad because it kind of scares me (I'll get around to it eventually, I just get overwhelmed easily). It would be nice if I didn't have to connect my Corsair K70 TKL keyboard or my Virtuoso SE headphones to my work laptop so I can use iCUE to change settings, though. I'm personally not too bothered about RGB but I am quite bothered about trying to figure out how to get surround sound to work on my Virtuosos with Pop!_OS. I've been getting back into first-person shooters lately and that's half the reason I originally bought these headphones to begin with. I've spent a few free evenings over the last few weeks searching the web trying to figure out how to get surround sound working but I don't have the prerequisite knowledge to understand what on Earth I'm reading! Until there's official Linux support from Corsair, I'd greatly appreciate any advice on the matter. At this point I have no problems swapping to a different distro if it happens to be easier than on Pop!_OS. I specifically bought an AMD GPU so I wouldn't have to worry about Nvidia drivers (my major pain point during my first linux-only attempt).

rsr911 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Wow! In the 3.5 years this topic has been active I have built a 10700k, 11900k, 12900k and now a second 12900k all on Linux except the 11th gen I gave my kids. I DUMPED my iCue AIO with them since they use Windows and sold my other one. Currently using an Artic Liquid Freezer 420mm AIO because at least there my ASUS ROG Maximus z690 Extreme can control my fans and pump for me. At the very least I had hope Corsair would support at least Ubuntu by now but no luck. Why am I here? Because I can't stand the default look of my Corsair Dominator ram up against by motherboard and Intel GPU. My systems is as close to an HEDT as can get without going to a Xeon which includes 4 NVME as well as an 8 drive hardware SATA SSD storage array. I've tried OpenRGB but the dimms don't even show up there. Multi thousand dollar system and I'm about ready to dump the ram in place of either non-RGB or with at least some Linux support for lighting. At this rare the RGB trend will be over before Corsair gets off it's butt and hooks us up with a Linux app. Oh the killer for the Corsair AIO? No support for pump speed due to the stupid USB control interface. If you're gonna lock us into software pump control AT LEAST support all OSes! /rant over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleverCompiler Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Just adding my voice to the list of disappointed Linux users. I've always loved Corsair's products but I'll be forced to buy something else with Linux support next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elytscha Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 (edited) Running Fedora on an corsair voyager a1600 feels great after 8 months of use. the funny thing is i have more problems with the pre installed windows then with fedora. my PR for the corsair voyager goodix fingerprint sensor got merged a week ago into upstream libfprint, so the fingerprint sensor should work out of the box in a few week for every linux user using a voyagerhttps://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/-/merge_requests/419 Edited July 5 by elytscha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
