My problem is very similar: my K95 keyboard is not lighted as long as I'm not logged in. This is only the case since I updated to the new iCue software. Unfortunately I can't go back since I updated the firmware too. :sigh!: Before, I could save the lighting settings in the firmware of the keyboard, so it didn't care if the Cue software was running or not. Now, it's dependent on that which is a huge disadvantage for me.:evil:
Please fix this Corsair:!:
