Update device firmware with iCUE

Firmware can be thought of as the operating system of a device. Updating firmware can help improve device performance or deal with bugs that may pop up. You can use iCUE to help keep the firmware of your devices up to date.

Before updating your device firmware, make sure that you are connected to the internet and the device you want to update is plugged directly into your PC for the most stable data connection. Intermediary USB devices such as hubs or docks may not provide a stable data connection.

  • For iCUE version 3 or older

 

 

For iCUE version 4 or newer

To update firmware:

  1. Open iCUE.
  2. Make sure your device is plugged directly into your PC.
    • If you are updating a wireless device, make sure you connect both the wireless dongle and the device directly into the PC, without using any USB hubs or docks.
  3. Click the device you want to update in iCUE and select Device Settings.
