Custom keyboards that will require iCue to work...

I'm sure the Corsair buyout was good for their bottom line, but I'm not sure whether this is good for the community or not.

Earlier on I had issue with Icue... now I kinda like it. maybe it's me identifying with my captors so to speak. But much like many don't want to have a half dozen different versions of Steam, Epic, Uplay, GOG, Origins... I don't want to have a half dozen different hardware configuration controls.

Drop used to be Massdrop. They sold keyboards, headphones, pocket knives, video cards, and lots of other stuff. Their selection has been waning for years.

I probably buy keyboards less often than monitors.
