Corsair headset, mouse and keyboard battery on Windows
Your Corsair headset, mouse or keyboard battery in the Windows taskbar, without iCUE: Void, Virtuoso, HS80 Max, Dark Core, Ironclaw and K57, 19 models.
19 models listed: 7 mice, 2 keyboards, 10 headsets
Headsets
The Void family (Void Wireless, Void Pro Wireless, Void RGB Elite Wireless) and the HS70 report a percentage, read the way the Linux kernel driver reads it. The Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT and SE report one too. The Wireless V2 generation (Void Wireless V2, Virtuoso Max, HS80 Max) gives its level to a tenth of a percent, rounded on the icon.
Mice and keyboards on Slipstream
Recent Corsair mice and keyboards (Ironclaw RGB Wireless, Ironclaw Wireless SE, Dark Core RGB Pro and Pro SE, Harpoon RGB Wireless, K57 RGB Wireless) use Corsair's Bragi protocol, on their Slipstream receiver or over the cable, and report a precise percentage. The Ironclaw Wireless SE has been confirmed on a real mouse, on the cable and on the receiver.
Older models (Dark Core RGB, Dark Core RGB SE, K63 Wireless) use an earlier protocol that only reports five levels: the icon moves in steps of 25 %.

Questions about Corsair devices
- Do I still need iCUE?
- Not for the battery. Keep iCUE for lighting, profiles or firmware updates if you use them; BatteryOnPC reads the level on its own.
- Why does my Dark Core RGB move in steps of 25 %?
- The first Dark Core RGB and RGB SE, like the K63 Wireless, only report five battery levels. BatteryOnPC shows exactly what the device sends, without inventing a finer percentage.
- Is the HS80 RGB Wireless supported?
- It is not listed: no reliable source documents how it reports its battery, unlike the HS80 Max, which is covered. The same goes for the HS55 and HS65. Write to us with your exact model before you buy.
