K70 Rapidfire No lighting outside of iCUE

[Brikaro]

I just purchased the K70 Rapidfire after spilling soda on my Vengeance and ending its 4 year life, but for the life of me can't figure out how to turn on the lights! I can view and test all of the different effects in iCUE but I can't keep them on once the program is sent to the tray. There was nothing in the manual about how to actually turn on the light aside from "plug it in." Any help would be appreciated. The keyboard feels great but I'd like to get the backlights working.

By default when you plug the keyboard it should light up, have you tried to switch usb ports? Can you try resetting the keyboard? Unplug the keyboard, hold down the ESC key, then plug in the keyboard while still holding down the key for 30 seconds.
