CUE Application Software

Application & Control Software

Corsair delivers the keyboard with their proprietary control software called Corsair Utility Engine (CUE). It is the basis control software that is used for their RGB keyboards, headsets and mice. In the past month or six it has been revamped ind improved on many levels. 

 
On first start, the CUE software will update your keyboard if needed with new firmware and/or profiles. The new update of CUE is much better to operate and understand, really a massive improvement over the previous iterations.
  

 
It is an extensive suite where a wide variety of preferences can be set up in several profiles. We get the lighting zones to any of 16.8 million different RGB colors and you may even add a few lighting effects. We, to date, did not run into any issues with the new software. Below, a screenshot overview of some more CUE features that come with the keyboard. 

Each and every standard key is configurable with both actions and lighting that work in conjunction. So basically you may perform a combination and key sequence action with the press of a button, but you can also incorporate a lighting profile on the keyboard to reflect the actions being initiated. The background refers to the colors that will remain static on the keyboard much like back-lighting, as one of its many CUE features.
