OK...this tutorial was great for the more advanced operations. In the default mode when you turn on the keyboard it is lighted red, but then the WASD and arrow keys change from red to white and then back to red. I created a new profile call redback and a new mode under that profile called justred. I clicked on ALL in the lighting tab and selected red as the color for all keys. I then switched to that profile, but the WASD and arrow keys were still doing the red to white to red effect. I just want all the keys to be red with no effects. What did I do wrong?

Thanks, Mike

Take your group "WASD" and highlight it then right click on the white outlined keys and click clear.

 

repeat with Arrows group

It seems that multiple peoples are confused by this WASD and arrow keys groups. Corsair should removed those from the default profile maybe?
