SOFTWARE MODE
When iCUE is running the keyboard operates in software mode and is controlled
by iCUE.
Install iCUE on a Windows PC or Apple Mac to connect all of your CORSAIR iCUE
compatible products together in a single interface, giving you complete
control of everything from lighting to powerful macros.
Download iCUE from
www.corsair.com/downloads.
HARDWARE MODE
When iCUE is not running or the keyboard is connected to a device that does
not support iCUE, the keyboard operates in hardware mode which uses profiles
and settings saved to the onboard storage.
With iCUE and the new dynamic profile system, you can create as many custom
profiles as can fit onto the 8MB of onboard storage. Each profile can store
complex backlighting effects (up to 20 layers), actions & macros, and
settings.
The number of lighting effects layers per profile and total number of profiles that can be saved to onboard storage will vary based on complexity.
AXON HYPER-PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY
CORSAIR AXON delivers a powerful and responsive keyboard experience with:
- Hyper-fast keystroke detection and processing
- Up to 8,000Hz hyper-polling (adjustable in iCUE device settings)
- Up to 20-layer onboard lighting effects (programmable in iCUE per profile)
FACTORY RESET
To clear the onboard memory, hold the ESC key while plugging in the USB cable (P) to your system, then release the ESC key after two seconds. The keyboard will then power on normally and be reset to factory defaults.

your macros are recorded to onboard storage and in software mode your macros
are recorded to the current iCUE profile.

NOTE: Saving a macro to a key or existing shortcut will overwrite that
function until cleared.

turned on puts
the keyboard into a competition compliant mode that:
- Disables custom actions and macros to prevent accidental activation
- Changes backlighting to static single color to reduce distraction
- Offers standard operation without profiles and profile switching
Other keyboard functions including the brightness key (B), Windows lock key (C), volume control (J, K), and media keys (L) still function as normal.
To enable Tournament Mode:
-
Move the switch to the right position
Indicator (O) will light up red when enabled

****
With iCUE you can change the color of the RGB LED’s while in tournament mod
