[Macro Keys]

This is an ongoing issue, I just purchased two K55 Keyboards and instantly ran into the same problem when trying to use the macro keys, I'm using Windows 10 Home.

 

If I assign a macro (Ctrl, Alt, Shift & V) to say G1 "on the fly" without iCue software then press the G1 key it will run the macro but also:

- Open "About" in the Windows Settings

- Try to open a Microsoft office 360 app (Which I don't have installed)

- Open about 10 tabs of "Activate Office 360" in Google Chrome

 

If I install iCue the macros will work as intended but that's beside the point, I specifically bought the keyboards for the advertised feature of macro keys being "programmable on the fly" to avoid wasting PC resources on additional software. At this point the "on the fly" macro keys are just false advertising. Furthermore if I quit iCue while the PC is running the above unwanted behaviors run without even pressing a macro key!

 

There are 3 Forum threads on this topic already dating back as far as November 2020 and so far the only solutions offered by Corsair are to either install iCue or RMA the keyboard....

Needless to say I'll be returning these keyboards and purchasing something else that works as advertised, unfortunately this has left a sour taste in my mouth in regards to buying Corsair products in the future.

 

 

 

EXACTLY the problem I am having. What is being done about this? What is the solution? I cannot get iCUE to work, so don't tell me to use that.

So, basically, you don't know how or don't care enough to fix it? You keep giving people the runaround and asking a bunch of redundant questions. Here, write this down.

 

WE ALL HAVE THE PROBLEM. ALL OF THE KEYBOARDS. EVERY. SINGLE. STINKING. ONE.

 

Quit asking stupid questions, go to Walmart, buy one, and experience it yourself.

 

THEN FIX THE PROBLEM!

 

 

What's going on with this? I can't get iCUE to install. Is there another solution?

[K55 keyboard, macros doing weird stuff]

Have a new K55 with same problem: It opens up Office 360 and clearly has other keystrokes embedded.

 

I could not get iCUE to load because Windows won't run the MSI file. What the heck is going on here?
