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.

ADJUST POLLING RATES

To adjust your keyboard's polling rates, go to iCUE device settings and select up to 8,000Hz hyper-polling with CORSAIR AXON. Default is 1,000Hz.
*Polling rates higher than 1,000Hz are not supported by Xbox or PlayStation consoles.

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)
