• I just bought a Corsair K70 RGB. When i plug it into my desktop i. Lighting profile carries over. Does anyone know of a Cue software for mac?
• Corsair merges Link and CUE into a single app that’s worth an early-access download. Of Corsair’s RGB products, the iCUE software certainly seems to be an improvement over the previous.

Oct 15, 2014 - Corsair Utility Software 10 10 Download. If you have an international K70 RGB keyboard that had been updated to FW 1.12, and even after. The K70 RGB Mk.2 is almost identical to the less expensive Corsair Strafe RGB Mk.2. Like the Strafe, the K70 is a full-size keyboard, about 17 x 6 inches without the wrist rest, or 17 x 9 with it.

Corsair has an entire team working on their software driver for their peripherals, which they call the Corsair Utility Engine (ECUE for short). The latest public release is CUE 2.5 which can be downloaded from the product page of any product that supports it. For instance, from the product page of the K70 RGB RAPIDFIRE we can find the download link under the downloads tab. It’s a ~100 MB installer and you will need ~250 MB for the installed product:

Once installed and opened for the first time, it immediately alerted me to a new firmware available to the keyboard which was connected the entire time (it runs fine as a standard keyboard and even has a default lighting scheme which we will get to soon):

Firmware update took less than a minute and then it was all ready to go. Remember I mentioned the default lighting scheme that was happening even without CUE installed?

The keyboard has onboard memory to store profiles including lighting schemes, and this rainbow effect is on by default. Here is how it looks on the keyboard:

Excuse the silly, but free, music. There will be more coming as a warning!

CUE 2 is a massive improvement in almost all regards compared to CUE 1, with the user experience being much improved. For instance, there are tool tips available when hovering over the various action items:

There are 3 option sets for the K70 RGB RAPIDFIRE: Actions, Lighting Effects and Performance. There is also a tab next to the devices list to choose between “Basic” and “Advanced” modes which is primarily for lighting. All these are also available for each different profile created or imported, as we see all this is happening under the default profile. In fact, you can change the background for CUE as well:

Under Actions, you have the options to record macro actions, have keystrokes display a saved text, remap a key, assign the media keys to do something else, display a timer or disable switches. Profile selection is also an option here if you have multiple profiles saved, say for different applications or games, as seen below:

So while there are no dedicated macro keys, CUE helps make the keyboard very flexible here. I tested some macros in Adobe Lightroom, and also some games such as Mortal Kombat and they worked fine.

Under Performance, you have a few set options only that are mostly related to the enabling and disabling of some keys. Most of the user experience will be in Actions as seen above or in Lighting. Let’s take a look at the Basic Mode:

The default lighting scheme can be edited without any issues as seen above. There are toggle switches to enable or disable the effects which comes into play when you have multiple such effects. These layers of effects is where it gets easy to play with and create/edit lighting profiles. Here, I changed the default profile to a counter clockwise direction with a slow speed and changed the name of the effect. Here is the keyboard in this customized lighting scheme:

Here’s a look at the various lighting schemes in the Basic mode:

These are what people generally expect from RGB keyboards- preset animations to choose and show off their peripherals, which also makes for good demo modes at trade events. I created a few layers of static color on some keys to test for light bleeding and also color accuracy:

You can see here how much light are transmitted through those keycaps as a result of the larger legends. The lighting is mostly uniform and accurate, although the white is still a light blue hue. The LEDs under the translucent housing are diffused, which helps spread and give a more uniform light but this affects some colors more than others. There is light bleed between keycaps under keys of different colors, and this is exaggerated as a result of the floating keys design. A smoother transition of colors makes it hard to detect though!

Note that all this was in Basic mode. Toggle the switch at the top and you activate Advanced mode where the lighting schemes are different:

Layers and more direct changes are the name of the game here, as shown in the gradient demo shown above. This is how the keyboard looks with that exact gradient lighting scheme used:

Note those flickers? I did too but only when I checked the video. I didn’t detect it on the keyboard itself when recording, but when I noticed it I tried again and it happened maybe 2/10 times. Corsair tells me it is a firmware issue and a new firmware update is going to be out soon. It could be that the firmware update I did was the cause as a result of a faulty update as my previous usage with CUE and this very keyboard had no such issues. I did not notice this with any of the preset Basic mode options for what that counts, and only this multi-step gradient showed it. I will update this section as and when things change or not.

If all this seems too much for you, then consider Corsair’s RGB Share where people can upload and download custom lighting profiles, which can be exported/imported from CUE accordingly. For example, I downloaded Blue Embers and imported it in CUE:

You can fully customize the profile as it is a layer of effects again, all in basic mode here. Note that some profiles may be for Basic mode and others for Advanced mode but both are put in together which is not necessarily how I want it. Also, I want to see this integrated in CUE itself rather than have users go to a separate website and download profiles that may or may not work to their desire.

So here I was complaining about that very thing to Corsair, and they slipped me a pre-public release of CUE 2.6 which has integrated RGB share! It should be out for public release shortly, but in the meantime here’s a small exclusive look:

Note that I am using the demo devices feature here as the K70 RGB RAPIDFIRE was being disassembled at the time, but it worked fine even when it was connected as tested later. RGB share is accessed as an option under the profiles now, and you can search and sort through the various uploaded profiles for the various devices supported as you would on the website which is neat. You can preview the profiles right then and there and then select what you want, import and then use it. Here’s the problem- remember when I said that some profiles have lighting schemes from Basic mode and some others from Advanced mode? You need to be in those modes yourself to preview and use those profiles. That is why in the video above the second profile seemingly did nothing. Seeing as how this is not yet a public release, I can’t fault the software yet but hopefully they will incorporate a way to make this more intuitive.

Note that this page is not meant to be a guide to CUE 2, and please find online guides for that purpose. On my end, and thanks to help from a user experience researcher I know, I am examining CUE and it’s still not perfect by any means for the power user. Most novice users will find this more intuitive than before so Corsair is improving and getting close to possibly the most comprehensive peripheral driver at this point.

(Edit: Oct 11, 2016: You will need to have CUE running in order for the dynamic lighting or actions based profiles to be active. The default lighting, any static lighting and performance changes can be saved to the device and be operated irrespective of CUE running or not.) Mods for gta v online ps3 free download.
