wired modes that can be activated via shortcut.
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.
When iCUE is running the keyboard operates in software mode and is controlled by iCUE.
CONNECTING TO SONY PLAYSTATION
SOFTWARE 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.*
HARDWARE MODE
*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.
