Corsair K63 Manual

INTRODUCTION

Experience ultimate gaming freedom with the CORSAIR K63 Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard featuring ultra-fast, 1ms 2.4 GHz wireless technology combined with CHERRY MX mechanical keyswitches for maximum performance. Advanced wireless features include Bluetooth 4.2 for flexible connectivity and 128-bit AES wireless encryption to help protect the transmission of your data. The compact, tenkeyless design is space saving and travel friendly with up to 25 hours of battery life at low brightness. Vibrant, blue LED backlighting is customizable per-key using iCUE software to create dynamic lighting effects. Dedicated multimedia controls, 100% anti-ghosting, full-key rollover, and Windows key lock mode delivers complete and responsive control. Detachable, soft-touch wrist rest provides comfort to enhance your gameplay.

BEFORE FIRST USE

The K63 wireless keyboard must be fully charged before its first use.

EXTENDING BATTERY LIFE

Reducing brightness to low (33%) will provide up to 25 hours of battery life. Increased brightness levels will use more power and reduce battery life.

LOW POWER MODES

The keyboard will turn off the backlighting after 15 minutes and go to sleep which will greatly extend battery life. This setting can be adjusted or disabled via the iCUE software (corsair.com/downloads).
When the battery level is critical, the backlighting will automatically turn off to ensure continued usage, and will return once the keyboard is recharged.

FACTORY RESET

To reset the keyboard to factory settings, hold the ESC key while turning the keyboard on, then release the ESC key after two seconds. The keyboard will then power on normally.

CHARGING THE KEYBOARD

Connect the K63 wireless keyboard to an available USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 (Type-A) port on your PC with the USB charging/data cable. The keyboard's power LED indicator will begin pulsing green to denote battery charging and will turn solid green when charging is complete.

Connecting to a USB 2.0 port could result in reduced charging speed or connection issues.
The power LED indicator will briefly blink a color corresponding to the battery charge level when first turned on and will turn red when charging is required. The battery has no "memory effect" and should not be completely discharged before recharging to ensure it will last for hundreds of charge/ discharge cycles.
NOTE: Reducing brightness, unplugging power when charged, and not leaving the battery discharged for long periods of time will help to maximize battery life.*

*Rechargeable batteries have a limited life.

SETTING UP YOUR KEYBOARD

FOR WINDOWS^® USING 2.4 GHz WIRELESS

• Turn on your computer and K63 wireless keyboard.
• Connect the USB wireless receiver to an available USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port on your PC and press FN + F9 on the keyboard.
• The wireless LED indicator on the keyboard will turn solid white when automatically connected.

NOTE: If the connection isn't automatic, initiate pairing mode in the iCUE software and hold FN + F9 on the keyboard until the wireless LED indicator rapidly blinks white.
For the best 2.4 GHz wireless performance, move the USB wireless receiver closer to the keyboard either by plugging it into a front panel USB port on your PC or by connecting it to the USB charging/ data cable via the USB cable adapter.

FOR WINDOWS 8/10 OR ANDROID^™ USING BLUETOOTH^®

• Turn on your Bluetooth 4.0 or higher enabled product and the K63 wireless keyboard.

• The wireless LED indicator on the keyboard will turn solid blue when connected.

WIRELESS ENCRYPTION

The K63 wireless keyboard features 128-bit AES wireless encryption that is automatically enabled and works to protect the wireless transmission of your keystrokes against eavesdropping when typing sensitive login, personal, or payment information.
The Win Lock key allows you to disable the Windows key by default, but can also be used to disable wireless encryption via an option in the iCUE software for a slight reduction in latency when gaming.
