iCUE Software
I have already discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the different software solutions several times. One disadvantage of the iCUE software, which spans all devices, is its sheer size. The download is over 1000 MB in size, the installed program later even hits with over 2.3 GB. Over 50 MB are stored in the RAM and a double-digit number of Corsair and iCUE services are executed – that’s quite a house number.
Unfortunately, there is an annoying bug in the iCUE software since quite a few versions, which you have to “ignore” several times during the installation routine. Whether this is only due to my PC, I could not verify so far, but the program itself runs later apparently without problems.
As far as the operation is concerned, everything has remained the same. On the start page of the software, you can find the profile selection, the read sensor values and the overview of the connected Corsair devices.
If we select the keyboard, we are automatically in the key assignment. Here we can freely assign all keys. In addition to the usual functions, prefabricated actions such as “Text” are of course also available again macros. New in the current software is the so-called Voicemod, with which you can also switch voice distortion etc.. However, it would simply go beyond the scope of this article to present all of this.
In the lighting menu, different layers can again be created for the K70 PRO MINI, which means that there are virtually no limits to your own imagination. I find it very nice that you can also assign separate effects to different areas, not all RGB controllers are that flexible.
In the “Options” menu item we can select the properties of the special keys. For example, when the WIN-LOCK key is activated, you can select whether other key combinations such as Alt+F4 should perhaps be deactivated in addition to the name-giving lock of the Windows key, and in which color the keys should light up (indicator) when the functions are de-/activated.
Finally, in the Device Settings item, you can configure things like the sample rate and debounce time, or check for firmware updates.
