Corsair launches web-based firmware updater so you don’t have to install iCUE

João Silva April 9, 2025 Software & Gaming

Corsair has launched its new, browser-based tool for firmware updates, offering a streamlined alternative to iCUE. This move aims to simplify the perceived complexity of firmware updates, particularly for users less familiar with PC peripherals.

Corsair states that this web-based utility is a response to customer feedback, providing a more convenient method for updating firmware on compatible Corsair mice, keyboards, and other devices. While iCue remains the primary software for accessing the full range of customisation options, including lighting control and advanced settings, this new tool caters to users prioritising quick and easy firmware upgrades.

Corsair emphasises that the web-based updater ensures users have access to the latest firmware versions. Users can also opt to provide their email addresses to receive notifications about future firmware releases. The initial release of the web-based firmware updater supports a selection of Corsair devices, with Corsair promising to expand compatibility to include both new and existing devices and introduce new features in the near future.

The web-based tool is optimised for Chrome and Chromium-based browsers (such as Edge and Opera) and is compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems. Corsair is also currently testing Linux support.

KitGuru says: Do you own Corsair peripherals? Will you keep using iCue to update the firmware, or will you start using the web-based firmware updater?
