TheOriginalBabu Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Hello, got my triple Corsair combo yesterday, Void Pro, Glaive, and K55, loving them so far. However I am having trouble setting up my K55, specifically I wish for the "Q" key to trigger an orange ripple effect on key press (to sync with my bomb detonation button in Just Cause 3). I noticed there is no way to program the "On key press" function as, my keyboard has only 3 RGB lighting zones. Is there any way I can still do this? To me it seems like a simple effect overlook from the Corsair Software Design team, as such idea of splitting key press triggers on to the RGB lights is not compatible with my keyboard, but I would assume as I paid for this Corsair product, support will be ensured? Running iCue 3.4 P.S. Is the K55 worth it? Is there a better value for money? The max I'm willing to spend is around $150 CAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xMacias Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 The function you want works better on keyboards with control of lighting on each LED. I'd say that you should look into mechanical keyboards and see if you like how they feel. Also, I'd say for keyboards, you should give the Strafe RGB a look.

TheOriginalBabu Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 K55 is mechanical. I would probably return it, however I have managed to get a somewhat decent profile. edit: nvm its membrane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Mint Posted April 17, 2018 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 17, 2018 Unfortunately, the K55 only has the 3 lighting zones so it won't be able to perform the same effect like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOriginalBabu Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 It has way more than 3 keys, though. I can assign macros to them, why can't I trigger lighting effects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Lettuce Posted April 18, 2018 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 18, 2018 It has way more than 3 keys, though. I can assign macros to them, why can't I trigger lighting effects? I believe there is a misunderstanding here, yes the keyboard lights up more than 3 keys but realistically the keyboard itself is made up of 3 lighting zones. It is very limited in terms of lighting configurations, you may want to look another keyboard to meet your desired RGB configurations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOriginalBabu Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 I know. Can't I get a key press, to light up all of they keyboards zones (in a certain color), for a few seconds? I know that I can just think of this of having 3 RGB lights stuck to the bottom, but that should still mean I can control them with a key press. I mean, I see no reason why I can't do this besides iCue limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no technical reason you couldn't say, have all lighting zones set to a certain color on a keypress, you wouldn't get a "wave" effect, as there are only 3 lighting zones, and not individual key lights, but there's no technical reason (outside of Corsair's shoddy software) that this couldn't be done.

TheOriginalBabu Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Tbh greatful for k55 cue support. But it's in its box right now going to be returned. Corsair got me, ordering a STRAFE RGB off Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Mint Posted April 19, 2018 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 19, 2018 Sorry, TheOriginalBabu, the K55 only has limited lighting options in CUE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOriginalBabu Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 I returned my K55. I should have noticed the keyboard never boasted CUE support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
