Hello,
I'm a software developer for one of the biggest ISPs in Germany.
I was really surprised that there is no Linux support for the Corsair software, because in Germany, IT means Linux.
So let me give you a simple monetary reasons to support Linux:
Owning Germany as IT market.
Here is when and why Germany's IT market become a Linux world:
It began in 2012 with a huge media scandal shedding light on some evidence that proved Microsoft was bribing politicians and officials to use Windows instead of Linux.
As a result, Microsoft was pretty hated in Germany, because the software support contracts cost millions of the hard earned tax payers money.
That lead to Munich refusing another Microsoft contract for their city offices IT infrastructure in 2013. (Just google Munich Microsoft Balmer incident.)
That lead to literally dozens of city offices all over Germany switching to Linux because the citizens where enraged and all mayors that signed another Microsoft contract where instantly accused of taking Microsoft bribes.
Combine that with the insane pricing of nowadays Microsoft products (like the office suite) and you naturally end up with Linux.
Then came Windows 10 which was practically the nail in the coffin for Microsoft.
I am sure I don't have to lay down the huge issues with Windows 10 in detail, so let me sum them up:
Spying, rebooting without asking - making you lose literally hours or even days of work, trouble after updates.
But honestly, the spying of Windows 10 was the huge deal-breaker.
In 2016 the DSGVO ("Datenschutz-Grundverordnung") was declared in Germany (actually from the EU). In short: You may not leak any customer data at all without their direct and explicit consent. And the penalties are several million Dollars/Euros based on the yearly worldwide transactions -- breaking the DSGVO could easily destroy a strong company over night.
So the tech companies asked Microsoft for a non-spy version of Windows 10 and got told off. So beginning 2016, literally hundreds of companies started migrating to Linux because of the huge legal issues with Microsoft 10 and the DSGVO.
This continued and the Linux-migration has picked up pace even among regular PC users.
Knowing/using Linux as a normal PC user in Germany means you are "experienced" and more like a "tech wizard"/"computer pro" than a "regular gamer".
Since then in Germany, the IT world has pretty much become a Linux world.
I mean the core IT community in Germany was always ~20% Linux, but now it's more like 65% Linux, leaving some stragglers, but that's it.
I could see this in my company as well, where if you use Windows your colleagues go like "you use Windows??? But ... Why?"
Windows is pretty much in the extinction-phase in Germany.
Germany's biggest IT news site heise.de published several articles in the last 3 years "why you should switch to Linux".
Hell, even the beloved Linux desktop environment KDE was developed in Germany.
So to sum in all up:
If corsair ever wanted to land big on the German IT market and somehow draw the German tech community into their product eco system: Well, here's your chance.
The first company (especially now with Corona, keyboard manufacturer) to have a working Linux driver for their hardware will find their sales in Germany skyrocketing, because here, you'd be literally without competition.
Strictly speaking about mechanical keyboards and mice:
None of the big players released a Linux driver so far, meaning the one who does it first, sets the standard and owns the market.
