K55 RGB Keyboard not recognised by CUE

[silkarino]

I've looked everywhere online [linus tech tips forums, corsair forums, etc.] and I've tried all of the following:
- updating CUE
- uninstalling keyboard HID drivers, unplugging + replugging, run CUE
- completely uninstalling + reinstalling CUE
- looking for K55 specific drivers

I could not find anywhere online about K55 Keyboard firmware installations.
The closest thing I found was Raptor K50 and I thought maybe k50 was just a series and it might work for a k55 but when I ran that firmware install for the Raptor K50 it said 'no k50 detected' so I'm out of luck on that.

Keyboard works fine as far as LEDs running default state and key strokes are inputting this message you are reading now just fine.

Note: These were the conditions upon when the computer was FIRST introduced to the new keyboard:
1. computer was off
2. sabre RGB mouse and k55 keyboard plugged into USB ports
3. booted PC with CUE set on "startup when windows starts"
4. after I got on desktop, I brought CUE to foreground and only Sabre RGB was recognized in the engine

Please direct me to some sort of method that I have not already tried. All I want to do is change the lighting I could care less about triggers/macros.

The K55 RGB is not a CUE enabled device. It does not have the necessary processing chip to work with CUE.

omg just checked paper manual for K55 that came with and it shows FN functions for RGB color zones and mapping.

Didn't realize an RGB keyboard wouldnt be using CUE.

Thank you for clarifying!

check the product page. If it doesnt have one for DL, ask Corsair Support.

But why is there then a CUE download avalible for the K55 RGB on the downloads page?

It is a CUE enabled device, it however does not have any onboard memory to store settings. I had a K55 but had nothing but problems with it. in the end it went back and got a better corsair keyboard.

For me I had my BIOS mode enabled. You can tell this is enabled if your winlock key is flashing. to disable hold the top winlock key and f1 for 3 seconds. turned off BIOS mode and it is now recognized.
