rnio Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Hi There, my understanding is that one can assign key-press sequences to any key using the MR key ... While running CUE this works ... BUT when CUE is NOT running ... any programming seems to "not sick" ?! I tried to assign a macro to a few keys whith CUE running ... tested ... all OK ... SAVED TO DEVICE ... and exit CUE ... ==> NOTHING BTW, I assigned macros to the G-Keys as well as some F-Keys ... Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help.

terabyte Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 No you're not doing anything wrong. The only thing that gets saved on the onboard profile is the static lighting for the buttons, no macro or lightning effects are saved. You need CUE running in background for those.

rnio Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 According to the PRESS release it should be possible to programm and access macros WITHOUT CUE: The keyboard includes 18 dedicated macro keys that can be programmed via software or on-the-fly, and macros and lighting profiles can be stored in onboard flash memory. http://www.corsair.com/en-us/company/press-release/next-gen-corsair-vengeance-gaming-keyboard-and-mice-unleashed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terabyte Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 That press article is for the old non-RGB version I think. The article infact mentions CES 2013 and also the M95 mouse which does not have a RGB version unlike the M65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnio Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 That is correct ... but this is like saying the MX-RED can not be assigned a macro ... RGB is just a different mechanical switch ... more colors ... but the underlying mechanics are still the same ==> macro programming without cue should still be possible. At least one should be able to use CUE to create / assign a macro and when saved to the device it should be available when CUE is closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terabyte Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Unfortunately no, they changed how it works. Personally I think they should have changed name for the RGB products, with all those RGB and non K70, K95 and M65 it's a mess. With different names/codes there wouldn't be this much confusion.

cavemanbangs Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 "Onboard memory to take performance and lighting settings with you Do you take your gaming to go? Built-in storage lets you set it up once, and take it anywhere." <- when its advertised like this and no where stating that cue is required, before purchasing it is very misleading on-board memory means on-board memory not hybrid on-board or kinda on-board - I can understand some macros not being able to run onboard but at least give it basic keystrokes ps my mr button dosen't function at all have to do all my keystroke records from que Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately there isn't enough onboard memory to save actions or foreground lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnio Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Thanks for the feedback ... I understand the memory limitation for comlex lightning / effects ... however simple key-strocke macros should work ?! I read in a related thread: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=134460 that there is the possibility of HARDWARE playback ?! Isn't the K95 RGB able to do this ?

ginormity Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 +1 Heck, I just want an assignment in device memory to launch Cue from a button after my Steam games are loaded to get around the Stream crash bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOA Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Old thread, wish I had read it before buying my K95 LED Artistry Keyboard. I would have bought a gaming keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
