Corsair’s NEXUS companion is an interesting device. It has a lot of potential in what it would be able to perform. With its current software version, you can set many options for your other iCUE devices or setup buttons to launch applications with custom buttons and backgrounds. It would be nice to see some additional options like interfacing with OBS to be an addition to it like the stream-deck. The idea of being able to control scene switching with this device would be a greatly appreciated addition to it. It’s interesting to see what additional games the NEXUS will be able to link with providing addition actions to be performed in a way that it provides essentially additional keybindings.
