Release Notes
What we've shipped to Corsair Atelier, newest first.
Smoother Operator
Major chat performance improvements and bug fixes.
What's new
- Much faster chat — MAKR responds quicker and the connection is more reliable, especially when transitioning from the homepage into your scene.
- Brand filter — filter products by brand in the product browser.
Behind the scenes
- Lighter data payloads and smarter context handling for a snappier overall experience.
Budget Boss
Tell MAKR your budget and watch it build your setup. Ask for a brand-specific build. Plus snappier UI, smarter pricing, and a calmer chatbot.
What's new for you
- Budget-powered setups — tell MAKR your budget and it builds you a full setup that fits. Works for desk, sim racing, or both. It'll ask whether you need a PC included, match your color preference, and pick the right tier of gear automatically.
- Brand setups — ask MAKR for a brand-specific setup like "build me an Elgato setup" and it'll fill your scene with only that brand's products. If some slots can't be filled, it'll offer to complete the gaps with other brands.
- Prices at a glance — when MAKR lists products or talks specs, you'll see approximate pricing right away. Final prices are still pulled live at checkout in case there's a sale.
- Snappier product browser — expanding the full product list is instant now. No more sluggish animation, and the panel resets cleanly when you switch categories.
- Setup guides — four new step-by-step guides show you how to get the most out of Atelier: design your desk in 3D, build across 6 brands with MAKR, plan a sim racing cockpit, and get a full setup within your budget.
- Dedicated FAQ page — all your questions in one place, organized by topic. Covers getting started, MAKR, product compatibility, the 3D configurator, and checkout. Check it out.
- Reddit feedback — alongside Discord, you can now hop over to r/Corsair to share thoughts or bug reports.
- Calmer MAKR — no more "Nice pick!" or "Good eye!" when you look at a product. MAKR keeps it informative without the cheerleading.
Behind the scenes
- MAKR now has price awareness baked in — smarter recommendations without extra lookups.
- If live pricing is unavailable for a product, the total estimate uses reference pricing instead of silently skipping it.
- Smoother panel resizing when browsing products alongside the chat.
- Updated 3D engine — fixes an issue where product position indicators wouldn't update when the scene was idle.
- Fixed an issue where your first chat message could silently fail on slower connections — MAKR now waits for a solid connection before sending.
Cool Customer
Quieter fans, a brighter room, and your saved setups loading like they should.
What's new for you
- Easier on your GPU — the scene now chills out when you're not poking at it. Idle = whisper-quiet fans, happy laptop. Switch tabs and it goes full eco-mode.
- Saved setups actually load — the dreaded black workspace after coming back from your dashboard? Gone. Your battlestation is exactly where you left it.
- Texture picker behaves itself — variant tooltips no longer wander off the edge of the screen.
- Brighter rooms — added a key light across every scene so your gear catches the light just right.
Behind the scenes
- On-demand renderer means we only repaint the canvas when something actually changes. Big GPU savings, no visible difference.
- MAKR's voice/text sessions got extra guardrails so two chats can't talk over each other.
- Friendlier error handling when a scene refuses to load.
- Tighter support for the latest saved-config format (v3) so older saves keep working.
- Fewer texture collisions on PC models — no more wooden motherboards.
Spring Tune-Up
A big under-the-hood refresh. Snappier, safer, and ready for what's next.
What's new for you
- Faster, smoother experience — we gave the engine a tune-up. Everything just feels quicker.
- Smarter voice chat — MAKR is sharper, listens better, and chats more naturally.
- Fresh mouse mat looks — updated mat textures across the desk and sim racing scenes.
- Cleaner sign-outs — if your session expires, we log you out gracefully instead of throwing a tantrum.
- Snappier product specs — tech specs load faster when you're poking around the catalog.
Behind the scenes
- Plenty of polish, security touch-ups, and dependency cleanup.
- Trimmed down extra weight so the app loads leaner.
- Sharper error messages when something does go sideways.
