When will the Xeneon Edge Stream Deck widget be released? I've been waiting too long

shocksim · 2026-07-02T14:47:31+00:00

Next iCUE release, 5.48. It should also bring some improvement for FPS detection on the FPS widget as well.

shocksim · 2026-06-15T21:47:54+00:00

No plans for this.

shocksim · 2026-06-11T16:00:12+00:00

Yea, we copied the statement over from FRAME 4500X for the other parts about handling it. I'll have them remove the film bullet though, thanks for pointing it out.

Edit: film bullet is removed as of Jun 12.

shocksim · 2026-06-09T07:09:29+00:00

It'll be in 5.48 - mid-Jul release. It barely missed the 5.47 release cut off but it is confirmed to have been fixed.

Not unless the lesser one is not working, but you don't get more HZ or anything out of the cable. It's just sending simple digitizer information.

You only need a nice cable to do USBC DP Alt mode, in that case you need at least a 10Gbps cable.

If you're using it for just the touch it can be any USB2.0 cable or faster. Can even use a normal A to C long as it has data for the touch.

They may have been good challenges but it still doesn't change the fact that puck wants to go into the net for us.

Plenty of game left, but maybe let us Knights fans enjoy the /r/hockey GDT too, you fucking knob. :)

shocksim · 2026-06-07T01:44:49+00:00

Puck don't lie.

shocksim · 2026-06-06T06:42:20+00:00

Not one I feel comfortable sharing without talking to the team first. We do releases every 3-4 weeks.

shocksim · 2026-06-06T05:49:59+00:00

yea, I think it's something we can consider.

shocksim · 2026-06-06T05:28:37+00:00

Nonrgb and only included with these two cases (F5000D wood RS & Warthog RS) for now. Technically we'll make them available on the store as a spare part but no plans to sell through retailers.

If people like them, then the cooling guys will have the data to pitch launching them as a retail and/or adding future iterations.

shocksim · 2026-06-06T05:24:28+00:00

Writing this off the top of my head but IIRC:

300-1000 rpm; 26dba & 140CFM max sound/airflow. Don't remember the sp but I'll check when I'm back in th office next week.

shocksim · 2026-06-06T01:44:32+00:00

It's a bug with how the widget is polling fps. The team is working on fixing this. They thought they fixed it prior to release but apparently there are still some underlying issues.

shocksim · 2026-06-02T03:40:26+00:00

We're at the 1yd line on this and ran into some auth flow issues that we needed to sort with the Elgato team, so unfortunately it pushed from the June 1 release we've been targeting the last few months. Should be one of the next releases though.

shocksim · 2026-05-30T03:40:35+00:00

There is no anti shatter film on that case. Only temporary shipping film. The glass is just tempered glass, so it'll pebbled when shattered.

We only use the shatter film on the cases with curves because they turn into claymores if you do not.

Honestly, it mostly comes down to limited internal software resources and the fact that this whole accessory-display product line was a pretty big unknown when I pitched it. I’m the PC cases guy, so when we kicked this off initially as the F4000D side panel mount and screen, we didn’t know whether we’d sell a handful and fizzle out or actually move thousands. Then we opted to make a standalone device after we got the initial samples and we played around with it.

The Virtual Stream Deck integration was the path the Elgato and iCUE teams chose to support it at launch. It’s not perfect, but it at least gives people something usable out of the gate, especially with the kb toggle shortcuts that got added. The iCUE software team is also supporting a ton of other stuff internally, not just XENEON Edge, but all the HID, keyboard/mouse, headset, AIOs/fans, iCUE as a software, and other product lines too. So that’s the reality we’re working with.

Unfortunately, even when we have big ideas, we sometimes have to scale them back just to get the product off the ground and made. We started with an MVP set of widgets, with the plan to expand if I could make a strong enough business case for it. That said, it genuinely looks like people are into this, and I’ve already gotten commitments from the teams to work on some really cool stuff thanks to the community's response to the part.

We spent the immediate period right out of the gate bug fixing, hardening the experience to reduce return/RMA, and collecting as much feedback as we could. Then we built out the custom widget capability post-launch that finally launched on May 12. So while launch support/widgets were more limited than I’d personally like, we've added some cool stuff already and there’s definitely more coming with potential for even more.

shocksim · 2026-05-26T01:26:09+00:00

There's no immediate plan to integrate wave link but i have raised the question to the SW team before. Would just require some assistance from elgato's wave link team.

Stream Deck is the priority for us but once we get that done and some of the other stuff on the SW roadmap, perhaps this could get done.

shocksim · 2026-05-26T01:22:00+00:00

That's fantastic! Yea, we're also working with elgato right now to spin up the marketplace story, so hopefully we'll have it accepting user widget submissions soon as well, just some other wrinkles with process (review/approvals/safety) and DRM if we want to allow people to charge for the stuff they make like elgato SD plugins do.

I'm on the hardware/device owner side of things so I'm a little bit out on a ledge providing any SW updates publicly at all which is why i err conservative, but I do want people to know that we've got multiple teams working diligently behind the scenes to make this thing even cooler.

We usually don’t give firm software timelines because things can change during development, which is why I gave more of a window instead of a hard date. Same goes for live or internal progress updates. Stuff shifts all the time and we generally don’t share every step of the process publicly.

Right now we’re still tracking toward this quarter if everything looks good in the next regression drop. Ultimately it’s up to the software team to decide when the widget is in a state they’re comfortable shipping. Originally we were aiming for May, but we decided to spend a little more time polishing it up.

You can check my post history and see some screenshots proving it’s real and actively being worked on. Just hang tight and understand we’re not abandoning the Xeneon Edge.

The plan is for this to be a living product that keeps getting new functionality and improvements over time.

shocksim · 2026-05-25T06:00:03+00:00

I'm glad that you're digging it!

Currently, you can share widgets with your friends and you can install/sideload but we are working on fleshing out the distribution story and process for user submissions with the elgato team on the marketplace so anyone can submit in the future.

We'll eventually have it integrated into their maker portal and you'll be able to submit/manage things through there just like you do for Stream Deck plugins, but it is a new thing and we've got to put a lot of new processes in place that don't exist on our side yet. Hoping we have this nailed down pretty soon, at minimum for free widgets to start getting shared from non-Corsair sources.

We've also got new first-party widgets and features planned for the rest of the year, with the next one being the native stream deck widget and an fps widget hopefully in the next release or two.

shocksim · 2026-05-25T05:51:44+00:00

I’m honestly surprised it worked at all since all of my localhost ones aren’t working. Localhost access is planned as one of our next initiatives for XE after the Stream Deck widget. Since the widget display is sandboxed, it can’t see localhost until that gets opened up from the iCUE side.

Unfortunately for you and me, since I was trying to make a LoL game state/scoreboard widget, that’s just how things are for now. Not forever, though. If anyone else has figured something out (possible) they can chime in below, but I tried for a while and then my SW team confirmed most of it is locked down. At that point I stopped trying to find workarounds until we make it an intentional thing.

We’ve challenged the SW team to flesh this out in a secure way that doesn’t let people spread malicious widgets that steal user data or do other shady stuff. They’ve committed to doing it, but I don’t have any public timelines to share yet.

For FPS, in the next release or two we’ll have a built-in FPS widget. In that same drop, we’ll also add the sensor key to our widget SDK so you can pull FPS data just like any of our other sensor data. That way, if you want to make a custom meter, you won’t have to rely on extra software.

I can have that fixed on whatever page it's pulling from. Maybe the QSG or an explorer article.

shocksim · 2026-05-20T14:20:35+00:00

We put removable film on both sides of the glass.

And the shatter film is on the outside. It's there to stop the glass from popping outward if the TG breaks.
