As if it wasn’t bad enough that they want me to use a random internet service to add a keyboard to a usb wifi receiver, they are also stopping Firefox users from accessing it. I clicked out of pure curiosity, as I’m not even remotely interested in involving a corporate internet service in getting my keyboard connected to my computer. This is the message you get now on Logi Options software if you have a Unifying Receiver: This is the message you get now on Logi Options software if you have a Unifying Receiver

    Just to note all the problems I had with running corsairs software and needing to run it for peripherals. I was on Corsair before logitech and their software going from Corsair Link to Icue all had the same problem with its hardware monitoring which is based on CPUIDs hardware monitoring SDK. I spent years trying to find the problem and trying to bring it to Corsairs attention to which they ignored me to the point I took them to court for all the stuff I owned and they settled out of court. The software was shutting down my video output randomly from polling the gfx card too much. So now I avoid all peripherals or cooling that require software to be constantly running. My Loop which is the picture to PCGaming here > is all running without software and is controlled by the bios instead. So yea i dont recommend Corsair nor NZXT since their software also using that CPUID SDK

      Bro, I was livid when Corsair changed from Corsair Link to iCUE. Link wasn’t pretty but damn was it powerful and let me do whatever I wanted. iCUE was supposed to look better but it was just bloated garbage and they removed a ton of functionality. On top of that, as you stated, it hardly worked half the time. Glad to see I’m not alone in this…

      iCUE is finicky, but for me it works about 98% of the time, and I can usually solve those remaining hiccups with a quick unplug-replug of the USB.

      Not saying your experience isn’t valid - that’s awful you dealt with all that, and I’m sure you did the best you could. Just providing a reassurance for onlookers that it’s not all garbage all the time.

      Interesting.

      I have never downloaded their software and instead used open source alternatives to make changes. Then I just uninstalled the software when I was done.
