I'm just going to have to lose that functionality until Corsair sorts this out. Unfortunately, the option to Save to Device is not available for the keyboard, or at least not my case (a K55). The Corsair services stay running and still use a bit more CPU than you'd expect from a keyboard and mouse (I can't speak for other devices) but a lot less than iCUE. You can uncheck Start on system startup in the settings menu. This will allow you to kill iCUE while retaining the mouse functionality. > Click the memory card button which saves to device > Click the hamburger menu to the right of Profiles
What's held me back is I use functionality like sniper mode on my mouse and some of those extra keys and macros on the keyboard. I don't need my system to look like something from Pink Fluffy Unicorns. Besides, I'm an old guy and I don't need half of that childish rainbow eye-candy. This sort of thing has been going on for years and I'm sick of it and gotten to a point where I want to just uninstall and say goodbye to some of my mouse and keyboard functionality. I'm now getting 3.5 to 5% in the background and 7.5 to 10% when running the interface on a new i7-7700. The high CPU is even worse for me with the latest update to v3.20.80. I'd like to share my partial solution to this problem:.
