Shortly after making my last post I realized color warp isn't the same and gave up on this, and instead now I run iCUE at start of computer to load my fan curve profiles, and then close it so that I can have the default lighting profile. My apologies for not coming back and updating my post for the sake of other users. While color warp is the closest to the default lighting, it isn't the same, and the default lighting that runs when iCUE is closed is still the best imo. It appears others feel the same way (from reading other posts). Is there any update from the devs on when this lighting profile will be added to iCUE?

Yup that was my bad. Shortly after I made that post and was using color warp I realized it's not the same. Should've updated my post (my apologies), but I just gave up and haven't been using iCUE because of it (unless I'm running FC5 colors for 4th of July or something). The default lighting on the hardware without iCUE running is just the best imo. Glad to see others feel the same. Wish the Corsair dev team also felt this way =(

I don't know how I missed color warp... I thought I tried every single lighting effect. Thank you so much, color warp is indeed (edit: NOT) the default effect, my apologies for missing that. Unfortunately now I have to diagnose why 2 of my front fans aren't taking the color warp lighting effect correctly (they're just doing spiral rainbow instead). I don't think it's my lighting setup in iCUE, but I'll have to investigate and see. Edit: It seems to think the chassis lighting is a fan... I'm guessing because I didn't hook the chassis lighting up to the copro included with the 1000D, and instead to my separately purchased 1000D. Guess I'll switch this around and see if it fixes the issue. Thank you again. Edit 2: Switching the chassis lighting to the CoPro included with the 1000D alleviated the issue with the fans. Odd to me that you have to hook up the Chassis lighting to that CoPro specifically, but no biggy. I am now unable to get Color Warp working on the chassis lighting, but that's not a huge deal (I realize it's not an option for chassis lighting, what I mean is that I can't get that effect to happen for the chassis lighting). When I had things incorrectly hooked up before, then Rainbow Wave acted like color warp on the chassis lighting. Not sure how to replicate that... maybe with a bunch of custom effects or something (the sequential effect is nice if it didn't loop around the LEDs and instead did a wave through them). Anyways, thank you so much for the help. Edit 3: Color warp is not the default effect. They're similar, but if you do color warp compared to simply closing iCUE, they are still different.

When iCUE is not running, I get the following effect, which is what I desire. [ame] [/ame] With iCUE is running, I cannot achieve this effect. Rainbow wave only achieves the following effect, and nothing else can get anything like this. [ame] [/ame] This is disappointing, but at least I can set my desired fan speeds in iCUE and then close it to have the lighting effect I desire. However, now with the MM800 mousepad, I NEED to have iCUE running to get the rainbow wave effect on it, because for some reason, even though every other corsair device I own defaults to a rainbow wave, the mousepad defaults instead to spiral rainbow (seriously???). With no onboard memory for the mousepad, is there any way I can either, A) Get the default lighting effect to occur inside of iCUE (ideal solution) B) Change the mousepad lighting to Rainbow Wave without iCUE running (or at least without effecting my other device's lighting)

I'm in the exact same boat. I have everything setup correctly in iCUE as far as what devices are connected to my copro's, yet the "Rainbow Wave" effect in iCUE is different than if I simply close iCUE and let all of my LL fans go back to their default setting. Without iCUE running, a rainbow wave travels throughout all of my devices connected (14 LL fans, chassis lighting on 1000D, and Vengeance RGB Pro RAM). With iCUE running, no chosen effect replicates this, and instead each device has its own rainbow wave travelling within the device's own LEDs. I don't see why the default setting isn't available since it's clearly a programmed effect, and thus to have the effect I can't have iCUE running, so I simply open iCUE to set my fan speeds, then close it. This isn't a huge deal but definitely defeats the purpose of the software. Additionally it sucks because I want to buy the MM800 RGB Mouse Pad, but by default it does the spiral rainbow effect, not the rainbow wave. To get the rainbow wave with the mousepad I would need to have iCUE running, but then I wouldn't get the sequential rainbow wave on my other devices. It also begs the question of why the default for the RGB strips, chassis lighting, LL fans, and RAM is a sequential rainbow wave, but for the mousepad it's the spiral rainbow effect. Why aren't they all the same default at least? This could all be alleviated if the mousepad default firmware could be overwritten (a common complaint it seems).
