A lightweight native macOS menu bar app for the Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless headset (no iCUE needed).
I built this because iCUE on macOS was too buggy and most features just didn't work for my HS80. On top of that, iCUE is a bloated app for what should be simple headset controls. This talks directly to the headset over HID.
- Battery and mic status on the menu bar
- Custom Mute feedback sounds
- Custom colors on the mic and logo LEDs
- Sidetone toggle
- Sleep timer
- macOS 14.0+
- Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless (wired mode also supported)
make # build
make run # build and open
make install # copy to /Applications
The app communicates with the HS80 Slipstream dongle over USB HID (0xFF42:0x0001). It sends the same protocol commands that iCUE would — querying battery, firmware, mic status, and controlling LEDs / sleep timer. No kernel extensions or drivers required.
The re-scripts/ directory contains the Python scripts used to reverse-engineer the HID protocol.
