Do you own a Corsair keyboard or mouse? Well you should take a look at ckb-next, which just had a new release bringing support for even more new hardware. Created by the community, this is not an official Corsair app. Like a lot of hardware vendors, they don't have direct hardware support.
This app lets you customise pretty much everything you need from mouse DPI to individual keyboard key RGB lighting. Newly supported devices in v0.6.0:
- K55 RGB PRO.
- K55 RGB PRO XT.
- K60 PRO (Monochrome).
- K60 PRO TKL RGB.
- Dark Core RGB Pro (experimental).
- Dark Core RGB Pro SE (experimental).
- Slipstream wireless dongle (when paired with a single supported device).
New Features:
- The device previews are now rendered using the GPU.
- Horizontal scrolling is now available for binding.
- The mute indicator can now indicate either the default output or input audio device.
- The music visualizer now supports automatic gain control, automatically adapting to volume changes.
- It is now possible to pair wireless devices with dongles (not in GUI yet).
Plus bug fixes:
- The
Fnkey now behaves as expected on the K65. - The GUI now accepts macros containing the ISO backslash key.
- A workaround is now implemented to prevent the media keys on the Strafe from getting stuck pressed.
- The daemon no longer crashes with a
buffer overflow detectedmessage on start under certain conditions. - The WinLock LED now functions on the K55 RGB and K55 RGB Pro XT.
- The GUI no longer crashes under certain conditions when the sound server is being restarted.
- The battery states are now reported correctly in the GUI.
- The brightness is now correctly set for newer devices (and the lights now turn off instantly).
Nice to see another very useful open source project continuing to improve. Version 0.6.0 was release last week on June 22nd. See more about it on GitHub.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyQuoting: CyrilIf it's important enough software I may have to learn that stuff, but I don't want to, it would be hours wasted from my life that I can never get back. I would consider it a failure of the software ecosystem that I was put in that position.Quoting: Purple Library GuyQuoting: CyrilBut the real question maybe is: do you want to learn?Well, I dunno about Linuxer, but I don't. Or rather, I don't want to learn this topic. There is too much knowledge in the world to learn it all, and I have different priorities.
Even if it means you can't use a software you want?
Reading your answer, I'm wondering if we speak about the same thing.
So the software ecosystem will be a failure no matter what, because no distro ever will have all apps in repos by default.
Hours?
By "learning", again, I didn't meaning "know how to compile stuff etc.", but for example just be able to add a PPA and install the software needed after that as usual.
I mean it's pretty simple and will not take hours to do it (you can do that in GUI, without the terminal I think).
Did you never add a PPA on your system? I just want to understand et be sure we understand each other.

Quoting: CyrilReading your answer, I'm wondering if we speak about the same thing.I'm just making the point that not everyone wants to get into this stuff, and that that is not a moral failing as computer people so often seem to imagine when they, say, stick out their tongues at people who do not share their tinkering interests.
And for practical purposes, I generally do not find myself needing to do this. If I do find myself needing to do this, for software I actually have a significant need for, yes, I consider that a failure. The ideal is "just works" not "have to faff around". Is that fair? Maybe, maybe not, but that's life in the big city; it's the expectation casual computer users are gonna have.
Just to be clear, I started using Linux back around 2000, and in those days I did have to learn how to do some command line stuff, most of which is no longer relevant (I used rpm-based then) or I have forgotten. But I was not happy about it; I used Linux despite having to muck around with it. If Linux had stayed until now the way it was back then, I would have given up on it.

Finally it now supports my Corsair K100 keyboard, I installed the 0.6.0 build and it worked out of the box :)

Quoting: QYMEIf i could at least have the g502 working properly that would be a start. If i could manage to stop the g910 rgb rainbow that would be a plus. But imo, that's kind of a non issue in the long run. Where i'm really disapointed is that i don't see how to use my g13 gamepad. I haven't delved into the problem that much. If there was a way to instal logitech software through something like proton, then add it as a non steam game maybe... I have honnestly no clue if that's possible.
Sorry to necro this post. You may consider trying out "input-remapper" to see if it will offer key rebinding for your G13.

I had used several other pieces of software found randomly on Github and I can link them to you if you wish, but they are fiddly to set up. The one I liked the best ended up working well with a launcher script to activate it and de-activate it, if I remember right. Once I discovered input-remapper, I never used the G13 again, as I have mostly Nostromo/Razer gameboards in use. Currently, I am using a Delux T9 because I don't want to wear out my Orbweaver.
Give input-remapper a try! I hope it works for you.
