CONCLUSION

   The iCUE Nexus is a very interesting concept and even though it's not exactly brand new this is the first time we've seen it in this form, meaning a device which you can attach onto a keyboard or use on its own. It can be programmed rather easily not only with a vast number of available commands but also widgets via which you can either keep tabs on the health/status of your system or use with specific games. Unfortunately, even though its compact size means you shouldn't have a hard time finding room for it on your desk it's actually way too small for my taste. I do realize that it needs to be compatible with keyboards but even twice the size (perhaps even 3 times) should be more than fine and would provide the end user with more surface either for extra or larger virtual buttons (who knows, perhaps we’ll see a Nexus XL next).

    CORSAIR just launched the iCUE Nexus Companion Touch Screen with a price tag of USD99.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 99.99Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) and even though it’s less than what I was expecting it’s still more than what most consumers will consider affordable. Long story short the iCUE Nexus Companion Touch Screen gives the end user not only the ability to check temperatures, voltages and fan speeds at a glance but also to launch games, applications and perform numerous commands via its 6 virtual keys. Yes, I can’t say that this is a must for all consumers out there but if you’d like something like that on your desk (or you just feel you could put it to good use) then I strongly recommend checking the brand new iCUE Nexus Companion Touch Screen.
