c-attack Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Any Corsair keyboard can plug in and immediately be used as a fully functional keyboard. The parts you need the software for are changing the lighting and programming keys to perform non-standard functions. A meaningful distinction might be between “I prefer not to run the software” and “I can’t install the software because of security policies”. The K70 MK.2 has 3 onboard save slots for lighting and basic programming. You can easily set up three different ones, quit cue and set it not to start with the OS. Obviously this can work with dual boot Windows/ Linux/Ubuntu etc. If you are in a situation where you cannot install it all, that would lock you into the three default color schemes that might be a bit rainbow fantastic for some. If you can get access to the software 1 time elsewhere, you could set up 3 new lighting patterns and save them to the KB. They will replace the default colors.
