Scoose

I didn't reinstall the application, I removed it completely. All software relating to iCue is gone now. The problem is still there but only when iCue is installed. Because I have removed the software I am stuck with the default colour scheme forever. But at least I don't have flickering keys and random colours. I also did several resets because Corsair advised me to. However, it wasn't a hardware issue so the problem remained.

My keyboard still works fine, I'm using it right now and I'm not having any issues with it. As soon as I install the iCue software, then the lights all go random colours (I had it set to green and random keys changed to white, pink, purple, orange etc.) and the affected keys start to flicker.

I'm not in the States or Canada, I'm in the UK and it was out of warranty when I contacted them about it. However, they told me it was the hardware that was faulty despite me telling them nothing had changed. It had no physical damage, had not received water damage and hadn't even been touched for weeks. But they still claimed there was a faulty LED somewhere causing a chain reaction of lights to behave incorrectly or some rubbish; and suggested I buy another one. They 'kindly' offered me 15% off a new keyboard of my choice IF I was based in UK or Canada.

Several months back, Corsair released an iCue update and suddenly about 15 of my keys were displaying the wrong colours and they were flickering. I Googled it and noticed a bunch of people were having the same issue at the same time. I contacted Corsair and they said it was faulty and now that it was out of warranty, I would have to purchase another one. I had been away for 2 weeks and the keyboard hadn't even been touched and it was working fine before I left so I protested their judgement. I was told there was nothing they could do. I recently decided to just uninstall all of the Corsair software for the keyboard and guess what? The colours are all fine and none of them are flickering. Remember when Apple got in trouble because whenever they released a new phone the old models would start to slow down? I believe this is what Corsair are doing to make people buy new peripherals.
