SOFTWARE MODE

When iCUE is running the keyboard operates in software mode and is controlled by iCUE.
Download iCUE from corsair.com/downloads and install 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.

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 AXON Hyper-Processing Technology, 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.

SWAPPING KEYSWITCHES

The key switches can be removed and replaced with any variety or combination of CHERRY MX RGB mechanical key switches. Other third party mechanical key switches with 3-pin design may be compatible, but are not guaranteed to work due to physical differences.

Push the keycap puller (J) over the keycap, then lift to remove.
Position the tips of the keys itch puller (I) under the keys itch top and bottom tabs, then press in and lift to remove.
Align the new key switch’s pins and base with the sockets and opening.
Carefully press the keys itch in until it clicks into place. If you feel any resistance, remove and try again.

NOTE : Be sure to align the new keys itch properly before insertion to prevent bent pins or damage.
