SOFTWARE MODE
When iCUE is running the keyboard operates in software mode and is controlled by iCUE
Install iCUE on a Windows PC or Apple Mac to connect all of your CORSAIR iCUE compatible
products together in a single interface, giving you complete control of everything from lighting
to powerful macros.
Download iCUE from
www.corsair.com/downloads
.
HARDWARE MODE
When iCUE is not running or the keyboard is connected to a device that does not support iCUE,
the keyboard operates in hardware mode which uses profiles and settings saved to the
onboard storage.
With iCUE and the new dynamic profile system, you can create as many custom profiles as can
fit onto the 8MB of onboard storage. Each profile can store complex backlighting effects (up to 20
layers), actions & macros, and settings.*
AXON HYPER-PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY
FUNCTION HOTKEYS
Macros can be recorded at any time via the below process. In hardware mode your macros are
recorded to onboard storage and in software mode your macros are recorded to the current
iCUE profile.
MACRO RECORDING
Keyboard lighting effects can be controlled via the onboard shortcuts below when iCUE is not
running or the keyboard is connected to a device that does not support iCUE.
ONBOARD LIGHTING
With iCUE you can program vivid and
dynamic custom multi-layered lighting
effects, then save them to onboard storage.
CORSAIR AXON delivers a powerful and responsive keyboard experience with:
* The number of lighting effects layers per profile and total number of profiles that can be saved
to onboard storage will vary based on complexity.
