CORSAIR has announced the release of iCUE version 5.36, introducing several new features, UI improvements, and a large number of stability fixes aimed at enhancing the overall user experience. The update will be available through the iCUE software or CORSAIR’s official downloads page within the next couple of days.
Among the highlights, the update introduces keyboard-only navigation, allowing easier control across Device Details, Keyboard Lighting Effects, and iCUE Settings without relying on a mouse. Additionally, a new Weather widget has been added for the CORSAIR Xeneon Edge display, alongside more clock face options for the LCD Pump Screen’s Clock Widget, giving users added customisation and functionality.
