ckb is an open-source driver for Corsair RGB keyboards and mice, bringing CUE-like features such as full RGB animations to Linux and OS X. It includes a driver daemon and a Qt5 GUI, but the project is no longer maintained in favor of ckb-next.

Use cases

  • control corsair keyboard rgb lighting on linux
  • configure corsair mouse lighting on mac
  • replace corsair cue software on linux
  • set up rgb animations for k70 rgb keyboard
  • remap buttons on a scimitar rgb mouse
  • manage corsair peripherals without proprietary software

When to choose

  • you need RGB control for legacy Corsair keyboards or mice on Linux or macOS and cannot use ckb-next
  • you want an open-source alternative to Corsair's proprietary CUE software

When to avoid

  • you want an actively maintained driver - use ckb-next instead
  • you need support for newer Corsair devices released after 2019
  • you run Windows, where official Corsair software exists
