I asked Corsair to provide some prizes for a competition to design an OCUK themed profile for a Corsair RGB keyboard!

So we want you to do the following:

Design an OcUK theme for a Corsair RGB keyboard, post a video and share the profile with us on the facebook post for this competition. Our top ten will all receive a Corsair MM800 RGB Mousemat and our favourite will receive some OcUK goodies on top. I will also by force require all OcUK employees to load this profile on their work and home keyboards upon pain of using a generic no brand membrane keyboard fiveever!

The competition will close at the end of July and we will announce the winner a week afterwards

Corsair CUE 2 software can be found HERE

I'd like it in Blue or Brown whichever suits, I like Blue but they are rather loud so might be tempted to upgrade, if one of these came along I think I'd pull the trigger on one.

EDIT: Just checked the store and no Blue Or Browns with this same model

Nice comp guys and this isn't supposed to sound ungrateful, but shouldn't the main prize be one of these keyboards with the winning profile installed?

I considered it, but I reasoned since everyone making a profile would have a Corsair Keyboard it would be better to offer something that they may not have

EDIT: Would have still been nice to get a new keyboard

Your welcome dazzlaa.
Anyone else going to bother entering this? wonder why its been completely dead o-o

VKleita · 1 Aug 2017 at 07:19

Because it involves installing the Corsair software which most people once they have their keyboard set up, dont reinstall on a reformat etc.
least thats my excuse
