SOFTWARE MODE
When iCUE is running the keyboard operates in software mode and is controlled by iCUE.
| Install iCUE on a Windows® PC 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.
---|---
| Additionally, install the Stream Deck software to program the macro keys (A)
to take command of your stream through powerful integrations with OBS Studio,
Twitch™, Twitter, and more. Download Stream Deck from
www.elgato.com/gaming/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 you want that fit onto the 8 MB of onboard storage. Each profile
can store backlighting effects (up to 20 layers), actions & macros, settings,
and wheel modes.
The number of lighting effects layers per profile and the number of profiles that can be saved to onboard storage will vary based on complexity.
FACTORY RESET
To clear the onboard memory, hold the ESC key while plugging in the USB
keyboard connector (R then S), then release the ESC key after two seconds. The
keyboard will then power on normally and be reset to factory defaults.
iCUE CONTROL WHEEL
Pressing the wheel key (D) cycles through available wheel modes with the color
changing to indicate the current mode. After selecting a mode, rotate the
wheel (C) left and right to adjust the mode settings.
The following modes are available in hardware mode:
| WHEEL MODE | COLOR | ROTATE WHEEL LEFT | ROTATE WHEEL RIGHT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brightness | Cyan | Decrease Brightness | Increase Brightness |
| Track Jogging* | Green | Rewind | Fast Forward |
| Track Selector | White | Last Track | Next Track |
| Macro Recording | Red | See the macro recording section below |
*Track jogging works on Spotify®, and Apple iTunes®, and select other media players when the application window is in focus.
MACRO RECORDING
Macros can be recorded at any time via onboard commands. In hardware, mode
macros are recorded to the onboard storage profile and in software, mode
macros are recorded to your iCUE profile.
To record a macro:
- Go to the Macro Record wheel mode
- Hold the wheel key (D) until the macro indicator (F) lights up 3) Press the macro G-key to be programmed
- Press the keys you wish to record (recording starts after the first key press)
- Press the same macro G-key again from step 3 to save (or hold the wheel key to cancel)
When the macro recording is completed or canceled, the macro indicator will turn off.
