Corsair iCUE is now over 1GB download

[Splinterdog]

Last year I bought a Corsair Ironclaw Wireless mouse and have been using it with my gaming laptop, but not doing much gaming on it. Anyway, I swapped it to use on my main desktop rig and now use a basic Logitech wireless mouse with the laptop. I did have iCue on the laptop, but have now uninstalled it.
I also had iCue on my gaming rig since I have a Corsair AIO and keyboard. With the Ironclaw I like to see the % battery remaining but iCue only tells you if it low medium or high, which is useless.
Besides, iCue went really janky on me which ius why I got rid of it months ago. I did consider reinstalling it to see if it had improved, but at over 1GB, you must be joking. So I set the mouse to Bluetooth and Windows shows the battery level in %, which I never knew about


The mouse works great with Bluetooth in all scenarios.

Yes, such software is actual junk. Not only from Corsair, everything peripheral related is just a horrid mess.

That's why I rather buy a less snazzy rodent that just works than an out-the-world device that has special software as a hard requirement. Not a huge fan of shit code fiesta with direct access to Windows kernel.

Keep in mind that Bluetooth has terrible latency compared to the proprietary wireless stuff the mouse makers include with their dongles.
