Corsair requires the installation of iCue (1.1GB) in order to keep their keyboards running correctly.
There are open-source alternatives that are much smaller. Depending on your model, this one might work for you: https://github.com/ccMSC/ckb

Wireless Gaming Mice with the best linux support
Corsair mice have a community driver (https://github.com/ccMSC/ckb) to setup rgb and so, but I am not a fan of the hardware itself.

What aspects of Linux needs to be standardized?
Somehow in the Linux world, it is expected that random people on the Internet should have any old piece of hardware working just as well the companies that made the hardware, took your money, and paid a team to develop the software for Windows. For the most part, they do, sometimes even nicer than the official software.

Dead by Daylight's Steam Deck Support is Official. Confirmed to Us by Behaviour Interactive.
Yeah I would take piper over any of that bloated peripheral software anyway, gets the job done. There's also other community projects like OpenRazer. For a keyboard I grabbed a System76 Launch, it's a bit pricey but it's super nice and fully customizable via an appimage.
- OpenRazer Release v3.6.0
