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

S
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 number of profiles that can be saved to
onboard storage and 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.
