			Not a great way of doing it, but it works for me. Create '''~/.config/autostart/ckb-next.desktop''', open it in your favorite text editor and type:<syntaxhighlight lang="desktop">[Desktop Entry]
			Categories=Settings;System;
			Comment[en_US]=Corsair keyboard driver user interface
			Comment=Corsair keyboard driver user interface
			Exec=<Location of ckb-next executable> -b
			GenericName[en_US]=
			GenericName=
			Icon=ckb-next
			Keywords=ckb;corsair;keyboard;rgb;
			MimeType=
			Name[en_US]=ckb-next

			''The -b makes it run in the background''

			I was also running into [https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next/issues/604 this issue] when I was running it manually; by using the .desktop file, I no longer have this issue. Lastly, '''every time you get a new version of ckb-next, you'll need to update the path in TryExec and Exec''' (both are the same).

			A simple way to find the location of ckb-next is to search for it in the Kickoff Application Launcher (or equivalent, not KRunner) > Right Click > Edit Application then copy what is in the "Program" field. That way, if you haven't run a clean in a while and have an older version of ckb-next still installed, you're grabbing the right one.

Initial Commit: added example configuration & limitations

New page

The following page talks about running [https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next ckb-next] on NixOS to configure your Corsair peripherals!

== Example config ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="nixos">
# /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
{ config, pkgs, ... }:

{
# ...
hardware.ckb-next.enable = true;
}

</syntaxhighlight>
Further configuration can be done: see the hardware.ckb-next options on [https://search.nixos.org/options?type=packages&query=hardware.ckb-next search.nixos.org].

== Limitations ==
Doing the above will enable the background service ''and'' install ckb-next. Yet (as of writing) you still have to manually run/open '''ckb-next''' on launch before it works.
