Checked in on my own thread finally. Corsair staffer: iCue is driver software and a control interface, occasionally adjusted but not used. Like all keyboard/mouse/headset/peripheral software, for decades, it does not need a user interface visible 24/7. The ever-presence of its icon in the Mac Dock is unjustifiable from both technical and UI standpoints. Your top competitors get this. Please don't defend the poor engineering oversight, it's such a simple fix, they could push it out in no time and comply with this aspect of previous iCue behavior. There will be much rejoicing.
