Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 8, 2012 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 8, 2012 It can not be done. It will only allow you to launch EXE files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I don't have a K90 so I'm not 100% sure on what works or not. If the Vengeance software supports .EXE files and you can add extra commands via that, I think you can get it working by telling the bind to run Steam.exe but add -applaunch AppID So for example For Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2: D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe -applaunch 10180 This will run steam then run the game. And if it is already running, It will launch MW2. To find the Application IDs, Go to the Game's Store page, At the URL it will show the ID. For example Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2: http://store.steampowered.com/app/10180/ The AppID is 10180, The ID will be after ""app/" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman228 Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 @Toasted: The Link to the exe can't be modified so no extra commands. I really like this Keyboard but the Software sucks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Well there's a new suggestion, They should update the software to allow the user to add extra commands the the .exe file. That way, it should allow you to launch your Steam games through one of the G-Keys. I'm guessing they locked the File type as .exe to allow make it easier to select instead of typing. What file type does the profile export as? if it's .XML, Open it with Notepad and see if you can find the setting for the assigned Key and steam directory. If its there, manually add the commands then try Import the profile and save it to the K90. See if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardalista Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 How about creating the start menu / desktop shortcuts for each game.. then assigning a shortcut key sequence to each game and then assign the appropriate shortcut to the G keys? Edit: Just tested the theory by creating a desktop shortcut for one of my steam games, right clicked the icon and set shortcut key <ctrl><alt><a> then assigned that key sequence to the G key and now it loads the game whenever I press the g key.

Iceman228 Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 That is actually not a stupid idea, thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigiChaos Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Any progress on this? There doesn't seem to be any way to launch applications using any kind of switches. Specifically, I would like to launch a URL. I tried to create a shortcut with chrome.exe http://www.youtube.com and the application just pulls out the chrome.exe part and ignores the arguments.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 14, 2012 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 14, 2012 The application will do whatever the shortcut is assigned. If the shortcut isn't doing what you want it to, double click it to ensure it actually works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman228 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 So, here i am again after 2 years and still with no steam games on my G-keys. Now i have another problem because i want to start a batch as administrator but this is also not possible. That is because the "Run as administrator" in shortcuts is being ignored because the shortcut itself is being ignored from the corsair program. It is the same reason URLs dont work because the software wants to jump directly to an exe file. The shortcut trick from "Ardalista" is nice but not practicable when you have lots of programs.
