CueBright

CueBright is a small Windows application that allows the colour and brightness of a Corsair CUE compatible keyboard to be set using command line arguments. I created this application because I wanted to reduce the brightness of my keyboard backlight when AutoBright reduced the brightness of my monitors. I did this by adding an external program integration option to AutoBright, where an external program can be started with command line arguments, however, the standard Corsair Utility Engine doesn’t provide the option to set properties using command line arguments, so I had to write my own application to do this.

CueBright was written in Visual Basic, and used the CUE.NET library to communicate with CUE.

This project is no longer actively maintained as my daily OS is now Linux-based. The excellent ckb-next open source driver can be used instead, which offers support for manipulating settings from the command line out of the box.

Source code and binaries are available on my GitHub here.
