There is also an option to select a color from your screen, which is pretty neat, but we found it to be buggy for the time being (sometimes it works, sometimes it does not).Īnother option is to add "Type Lighting" into a profile. The user can select any of the 16.8 million colors of the RGB scale. It's also possible to create key groups and assign lighting effects to individual keys, groups of keys, or the entire keyboard.įifteen colors are available at the bottom-left side of the tab for quick assignment, and these can be configured by simply right-clicking on them. In this section you can program the lighting of each key individually. In contrast, the Lighting section is very complex. The performance section is rather dull, as the user can only specify what actions the keyboard lock key will block. Keys can also be repurposed to switch modes and/or profiles. The Actions List button brings up all the actions that the user has programmed (macros, timers, etc.) and they can be drag-and-dropped on any key. The Assignments tab allows for the programming or remapping of every key on the keyboard, including the media keys. When programming a mode, the user can access three major tabs: Assignments, Performance, and Lighting. As an example of the potential usage, you can have the keyboard to switch into a specific profile when a game launches and still have several keyboard modes programmed in that profile for in-game switching. Modes are like sub-profiles, as they can include every option a full profile does the only difference is that you can set the profiles to start automatically once a specific program is launched, but you cannot do the same for modes. We will start with the profiles section that, as the name suggests, allows for the programming of profiles and modes.

The software is split into four main sections: Profiles, Actions, Lighting, and Settings. Aside from the announcement of their new Gaming division and the release of the RGB series, Corsair is also introducing a new software for their input devices, the Corsair Utility Engine (CUE).
