Pricey for a screen that sometimes freezes.
It's a good device and I absolutely love it because you can customize it. A LOT. You can customize it a bunch. You can even set a Live wallpaper in it. But don't expect superior resolution. It's a basic device meant to serve you as almost like an assistant. You can add additional hotkeys to it, change DPI of your mouse, add profile buttons to instantly change the color of your keyboard, mouse & PC. (With other Corsair devices of course.) The temperatures will even show up in the screen if you want to monitor them while your gaming or something. That's why I like it. Because of the amount of things it can do for you. I have almost 10 screens now and it works as intended.However, their are performances that are questionable. What I notice is that whenever I switch to a screen that has motion. (Like a gif or something.) The CPU temperature raises like 5 degrees. Now I think that's a bug that Corsair isn't aware of at this time so hopefully in the future that will be looked at. Also, when switching screens, it could be a little clunky. It's only because it's not 60fps. It's 30 and below. Sometimes when I try to switch screens to quickly with my fingers, it'll pause for about a second or freeze for a moment then return to normal. Sometimes, when streaming it'll also get stuck and I would have to restart the whole device by reconnecting the USB. That also crashes the iCUE app, which could be frustrating. With all that said, the price for this is far too high for what feels like an experimental project. The device feels like a beta product and has a ton and ton of room for improvements. So it would be up to you to make the choice whether or not you'll want this product with the problems I've listed. It didn't permanently break, it still works just fine as if it's bran new. But keep in mind, you will go through slight problems because of the instability of the device. I don't know if it's hardware related or the iCUE software struggling to process the info from the Nexus. Maybe both! But honestly, I think if they update the iCUE with a heck of an overhaul with faster loading times and smooth process along with the nexus doing the same, less problems will emerge. But that's my opinion on it and it's Only an opinion. My review still stands.

On-Keyboard System Hardware Monitor LCD (And More!)
Built a beastly PC over the holidays - Core i9 14900K w/360mm AIO, RTX 4090 24GB OC, 2x 32GB DDR5 6000, 2x 2TB PCIe5 nVME SSDs - and wanted a small LCD to display system stats, particularly temperature. Did not want anything bulky on the desktop, and spotted this LCD from Corsair that was small enough to ride on a keyboard, large enough to be legible at keyboard distance, and provides multiple screens of information via touch screen.The usable portion of the screen is 3/8" x 5", but that's plenty of space for my purpose. The screen comes with three plastic mounts for various Corsair keyboards as well as a desktop "pod" if a keyboard mount isn't used. I had eyeballed this product referencing various ads and reviews and intended to attach it to my keyboard using one of the mounts that utilize double-side mounting tape, and that is exactly what I ended up doing.I have it programmed with three screens of various temperatures, device loading, fan speeds, etc, all available just by scrolling. The interface will wrap around "either end" so one can scroll forwards or backwards from the home screen, speeding up access to nested displays.It has already proven to be a very effective solution that takes up little space.Cheers!

Quick Controls for your PC
I like to close the lid on my laptop and then I use external monitors and devices. This means my controls are hidden for meetings. There was no built-in program to mute/unmute my microphone, which was one of the main reasons I wanted it. The good news is that I was able to create a file that would execute to run the program to mute and unmute it. Then I mapped the program to a button the device. The versatility of it is nice. 4 stars is because sometimes it doesn’t load right away when the computer starts up.

Great addition to my build
Was exactly what I was looking for although it took me a while to find out what it was, I first got a glimpse of it in a J two cents video but he never talked about it so I didn't know who it was made by or where to buy it . After a relentless search online I finally found it . At the time it wasn't being advertised at all from what I could tell . Any way it does what I need it to do, just be aware that installing other VGA drivers can cause it to crash but a quick reboot usually addresses that.

Screen too small, handicapped by software
I already have a Stream Deck which I use to show performance readings from my machine (All Corsair hardware including 7000X case, 420 AIO link cpu liquid cooling, 4 additional link qx fans, K100 keyboard, 64gb DDR5 vengeance, LC100 and LT100 led lights) with a MSI suprim X liquid, but I wanted the Nexus exclusively for that use and leave the stream deck for other tasks. First problem, the screen its too small, which is weird because the active screen area is surrounded by a big black bezel, that means there is enough space for a bigger screen. Second, the price, even at $60+tax is still expensive, and third, the most troublesome, its the software. You can only show the current sensor reading, but you cant adjust the color depending on limits you set (i.e. green is GPU temp is under 40, yellow if temp is under 60, red is goes above 60), the time scale (show the graphic with data points for the last 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, etc) and an user defined scale (i.e. bottom of graphic is sensor reading 20, top of the graphic for readings up to 80) so you always have a visual clue on what is happening.LT;DR: too expensive for what it offers, software needs to be heavily modified in order to be actually useful.
