Hello!
I have found a solution to MM800 not blacking out on pc locking:

Requirements:
Windows 10 (not sure about Windows 8/8.1 features) Administration priviledges
The steps:
Force update Firmware of MM800 in iCue. It's weird, but neglecting this step will result with an inability to disable the device. Open PowerShell with Administrator permissions (Win+X, then A, then Enter). Type: Get-PnpDevice -InstanceId "USB\VID_1B1C&PID_1B3B*" | Ft -Wrap -Autosize InstanceId
This should give you 3 InstanceIds for MM800: http://i.imgur.com/yaLt5qd.png
The one that we need is the topmost one. Copy it. [Optional] Try disabling and enabling the MM800 lights by issuing commands: Disable-PnpDevice -Confirm:0 -InstanceId "USB\VID_1B1C&PID_1B3B\35800217018D2AAF042EAF5AC41B00F5" Enable-PnpDevice -Confirm:0 -InstanceId "USB\VID_1B1C&PID_1B3B\35800217018D2AAF042EAF5AC41B00F5" replacing the stuff in quotation marks with yours.
If the commands work correctly, proceed. Press Win+R, type "taskschd.msc", press Enter. On the right of the new window press "Create Task...". Type name of new task - e.g. "MM800 Off". Tick "Run with highest priviledges" and "Hidden". You might as well switch "Configure for" to "Windows 10", but I doubt if it changes anything. Switch to "Triggers" tab and create a new trigger.
Change the "Begin the task:" field to "On workstation lock" and press OK. Switch to "Actions" tab and create a new action.
In "Program/script:" field type powershell
and in "Add arguments (optional):" type -command "Disable-PnpDevice -Confirm:0 -InstanceId 'USB\VID_1B1C&PID_1B3B\35800217018D2AAF042EAF5AC41B00F5'"
again, replacing stuff in apostrophes with the InstanceId obtained in step 1. Mind the quotation marks and apostrophes. Repeat steps 6-10 with different values: Name: e.g. "MM800 On". "Begin the task:" On workstation unlock "Add arguments (optional): -command "Enable-PnpDevice -Confirm:0 -InstanceId 'USB\VID_1B1C&PID_1B3B\35800217018D2AAF042EAF5AC41B00F5'"
again, replacing stuff in apostrophes with the InstanceId obtained in step 2.
Everything else should stay the same.
[*] You're done. If you've done all the steps correctly, you should be awarded with nice black Corsair Polaris MM800 after station locking (Win+L). After logging in again, the mousepad should glow with whatever iCUE profile you've locked the PC.
Hope this helps anyone who's bothered by Feng-Shui breaking MM800 pad.
PS. This only disables the lighting, leaving the USB hub untouched.
