ckb-next is an open-source driver for Corsair keyboards and mice. It aims to bring the features of Corsair's proprietary CUE software to Linux operating systems. This project is currently a work in progress, but it already supports much of the same functionality, including full RGB animations. ckb-next requires a background daemon (ckb-next-daemon) to communicate with Corsair keyboards and mice. Slackware does not start this daemon automatically, so you must enable it manually. To start or stop the ckb-next daemon automatically at boot, add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local: if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.ckb-next ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.ckb-next start fi
