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.**The number of lighting effects layers per profile and the number of profiles that can be saved to onboard storage will vary based on complexity.
SOFTWARE MODE
When iCUE is running the keyboard operates in software mode and is controlled by issue.I
FACTORY RESET
To clear the onboard memory, hold the ESC key while plugging in the USB cable (L) to your system, then release the ESC key after two seconds. The keyboard will then power on normally and be reset to factory defaults.
TOURNAMENT SWITCH
Located on the backside of the keyboard next to the USB Type-C port (H) is the Tournament Switch (I) which puts the keyboard into a competition compliant mode that:
- Changes backlighting to a static single color to reduce distraction
- Disables custom actions and macros to prevent accidental activation
- Offers standard operation without profiles and profile switching
Other keyboard functions including media keys (A), volume control (F, G), brightness (D), and Windows lock key (E) still function as normal.
To enable Tournament Mode:
- Move the switch to the right position• LED will light up red when enabled
- Flip-up the switch cover to lock it into place
