Linux support

+1 for Linux support. I paid extra for surround sound on my headphones only to find out I can't use the surround sound because of the lack of support for my OS which is incredibly stupid. Also I had to switch browsers to a chromium based one just to create an account to comment here so that's two strikes now (at least I'm pretty sure that's the reason it didn't work).

Would love to see Linux support from Corsair.

I've been using Corsair products for most of my life and would love to actually change the settings on these products on the OS I use instead of having to change my mouse settings in a virtual machine.

I succeeded in getting this to run under Linux. I used https://github.com/dockur/windows which was a super-easy way to start a windows virtual machine (using KVM under the hood).

Follow the guidance in https://github.com/dockur/windows but the critical part is to share /dev/bus/usb and setup ARGUMENTS: "-device usb-host,vendorid=0x1b1c,productid=0x0c1c". That makes the USB device visible to windows and hence to the Corsair software, so it just worked when I installed it.

All I needed was to turn off the lights and that has worked permanently, it seems. Your milage may vary.

Here is the docker-compose.yaml file I used:

# https://github.com/dockur/windows
#
# $ sudo lsusb | grep CORSAIR
# Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1b1c:0c1c Corsair CORSAIR iCUE Commander CORE

version: "3"
services:
  windows:
    image: dockurr/windows
    container_name: windows
    environment:
      VERSION: "win11"
      ARGUMENTS: "-device usb-host,vendorid=0x1b1c,productid=0x0c1c"
    devices:
      - /dev/kvm
      - /dev/bus/usb
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    ports:
      - 8006:8006
      # - 3389:3389/tcp
      # - 3389:3389/udp
    stop_grace_period: 2m
    restart: on-failure
