CORSAIR iCUE Apps - Open Beta

Last updated:

CORSAIR is introducing iCUE Apps. A unified software platform that brings CORSAIR, Elgato, SCUF Gaming, and Fanatec into one connected ecosystem. Built around a lightweight modular core and purpose-built applications, iCUE Apps lets you install only the features you need for a more tailored software experience. We’re reimagining how you interact with CORSAIR hardware, moving from monolithic software to an adaptable platform that evolves with you.

What is iCUE Apps

iCUE Apps is built around what matters most: your specific setup, your workflow, and your games. It is built around 3 main concepts:

  • Light Core: A Modular Device Manager automatically recognizes all connected, supported CORSAIR hardware, then downloads the corresponding package and lets you adjust device settings.
  • Flexible Setup: You are in full control of your software footprint. Want dynamic RGB lighting? Install Murals. Need to keep an eye on thermals while gaming? Install Monitoring. Skip the tools and modules you don't use to keep background overhead minimal. Individual applications update on their own cadence. When a new feature drops for Murals, you get the update instantly without needing a full-suite re-installation.
  • Unified Experience: A single sign-on connects your hardware profiles, CORSAIR web services, and Elgato Marketplace assets across CORSAIR, Elgato, SCUF, and Fanatec products. With the whole family of devices, apps, and services in one place, you can build a setup that's truly yours.

Why is iCUE Apps in Beta?

We are still working on the platform. Some devices may not be fully supported, and some features are not yet implemented or enabled in the current software. However, we would love to hear your early feedback and have you involved in the process from the early stages. CORSAIR users are curious, creative, and have very high quality standards, so we'd like to shape this platform together with you starting as early as possible.

The launch of the public beta is the first milestone in a multi-phase rollout leading to the full ecosystem launch in 2027. We are inviting the community to test the platform early and help shape its development.

If your device is not supported, or if you are missing some features, don't worry. You can safely install both existing iCUE and the new iCUE Apps on the same PC to explore the beta without losing your current configuration. However, because both applications interface directly with low-level USB hardware and sensors, only one application can run at a time. Be sure to close existing iCUE before launching iCUE Apps (and vice versa).

During the beta period, you’ll configure your lighting and preferences fresh in the new app.
