CORSAIR Partners with Nanoleaf to Bring Smarter Home Integration to iCUE

CORSAIR, a world leader in enthusiast components for gamers, creators, and PC builders, today announced an exciting partnership with smart lighting pioneer Nanoleaf to integrate a host of Nanoleaf RGB Smarter Home products into the CORSAIR iCUE ecosystem.* Players can now expand CORSAIR iCUE's sophisticated RGB customization to their room's walls and surroundings via Nanoleaf's suite of innovative smart lighting devices - Lines, Shapes, Canvas, and Light Panels—to fit their unique vibe. With Nanoleaf's smart lighting now seamlessly synchronized with the rest of your RGB setup, your iCUE lighting effects are now smarter and more spectacular than ever.

Nanoleaf's acclaimed wall-mounted smart lighting devices bring dazzling customized lighting effects far beyond your PC. Setup is quick and easy - just switch on the Nanoleaf integration in iCUE settings and start programming Nanoleaf's lighting products right from your desktop. Additionally, users have the ability to switch between control through the Nanoleaf mobile app and iCUE with ease, for intuitive lighting control at your fingertips. Users can choose from a variety of preset Lighting Scenes such as Rainbow Wave, Rain, or Watercolor, or create their own to fill their gaming space with completely personalized color. iCUE can also display system temperature indicators on Nanoleaf devices, putting your room on red alert when your PC is running hot, to a calm green when systems are stable.
"Nanoleaf has become ubiquitous with smart lighting in the gaming room space, and we are thrilled to be officially collaborating together," said Bertrand Chevalier, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Gaming. "CORSAIR has long led the way in RGB peripherals, so it was only natural that we partner with Nanoleaf to provide people who love lighting the best possible experience within the iCUE software. We're excited to see how our fans and gamers utilize this new collaboration, and what kind of amazing experiences they will create."

"We've had an overwhelming amount of interest from our community for this integration, so we couldn't be more excited to launch the new Nanoleaf x CORSAIR integration," said Gimmy Chu, CEO and Co-Founder of Nanoleaf. "We can't wait to see how our users customize their setups and change up the way they play their favorite games with all of the vibrant Scenes and dynamic light shows." Whether you're lighting a top-tier gaming battlestation or a spectacular studio space, you can set the right mood with Nanoleaf products via iCUE to produce the ultimate RGB setup.

Although I like some of Corsair's products, iClue(less) isn't one of them....

Perhaps they should devote moar resources towards fixing it so it won't crash so frequently and/or lock up your machine before they worry about expanding it's already bloated interface & functions....

WolfkinNo, just...no.
Why? This is actually really cool. I can control it from my PC now rather than an app on my phone.

Bro iCue is the worst. It is so clunky and because I use a specific corsair mouse I can't use the most up to date version. It slows down computer startup and is just awful.
Been using it for 4 years now.

What Corsair needs to do as make some daisy chainable fans. All those cables for their fans if you have multiple is horrid to deal with cable management wise. Get with the program Corsair.

iQUE eating up to 500MB RAM when running in the background for my K95 RGB. Worthless pice of s..t software. First rewrite it from the scratch, and then we can speak about using it for something. Maybe.

Are you really complaining about 500MB? This is freaking 2022 where people have 32GB+ of system memory and youre complaining about 500MB like its 2004. Get over yourself.

Here is a screenshot of my task manager from Aug 16th. It hardly uses any memory let alone CPU. Get over yourself.

Yes, in 2022 32GB RAM is average, that's true. I'm not the only one who complaining about iCUE. I mainly complain about the bloat what that software can contain :). Look also at razer synapse, that's also eating the ram like hell. You buy 3 peripherials from separate vendors, and their control softwares will eat more than 1GB of RAM.

Here is my task manager from iCUE:

i never liked icue , there is always the ocasional crash, same for razer, same for cam. Really i started using aquatuning software when i bought some watercooling parts from aquacomputer and that software works amazingly well by comparison. too bad you need to pay for it after a couple years if you decide to renew.

Looks like Corsairs heavily invested and looking to expand this proprietary prison of an eco system. 5-6 years ago I imagined by now iCUE and CAM would give in and mobo RGB vehicles would be the solution forward. It would have been nice to have all-things-RGB under one eco-system with shared compatibility across the board. Oh well, its a good business model seeing so many of these corsair/nzxt units get sold and people seem more than happy to stick to them. TBH, i've had some terrible experience with both of them in the past... but of late, things are running smoothly (more-so CAM).

Sounds like you want Signal RGB.
