Corsair Utility Engine (iCUE) Software 3.21.72 Beta for macOS

We accomplish a few tasks:

1.) Ensure that almost all of our CUE2 products will be supported on the macOS platform.
2.) Complete iCUE for Windows and then port it over to macOS.
3.) Validate it for MacOS on desktop and laptop models to ensure a clean transition.

The difficulty of implementing iCUE on macOS wasn’t so much the software but the firmware. Due to architectural changes, existing firmware on our devices would not properly be detected in macOS iCUE. Those who tested CUE2 would be familiar with this issue. To resolve this problem, we had to implement a new protocol for firmware.

This means that most users will have to update the devices on their Windows machine first, if you have a legacy product, while users with our newest keyboard (K68 RGB and newer) can actually use their devices out of the box without any update.

Devices that will support iCUE without requiring a firmware update:

- K68 RGB
- K70 RGB MK.2 SE
- K70 RGB MK.2/RAPIDFIRE
- K70 RGB MK.2 LP
- Strafe RGB MK.2
- M65 RGB Elite
- M65 PRO RGB
- K70 RGB LUX
- K70 RGB RAPIDFIRE
- ST100
- MM800 (All versions)
- IRONCLAW RGB
- HARPOON RGB Wireless
- GLAIVE PRO
- IRONCLAW RGB WIRELESS

Users should use iCUE (Windows) to update their hardware. You will know you’re on the proper firmware if you are on version 3.XX for the legacy devices (STRAFE MK.2 and K68 RGB will show 1.XX but already use the new protocol).

For users who don’t have an access to a Windows machine, we are in the process of documenting how to do a manual firmware update with a Mac so you can do the update without iCUE. However, I advise using iCUE is the best method when possible.

About General Drivers & Tools:

If you install this package, your device will be properly recognized by compatible systems, and might even benefit from new features or various bug fixes.

Please note that, even though other operating systems might also be compatible, we do not recommend you apply any software on platforms other than the specified ones. Doing so might cause the installation to crash, which could even render the device unusable.

When it comes to installing the package, the steps should not be much of a hassle because each manufacturer tries to make them as easy as possible; usually, you must make check for compatibility, get the package, run the available setup, and follow the instructions displayed on-screen.

However, due to the large number of devices out there and the various ways for applying these packages, it would be best if you refer to the installation manual first, to be sure of a successful update.

That being said, click the download button, and apply the present software on your product. Also constantly check with our website to stay up to speed with latest releases.
