got a question that we have in another thread, can someone confirm ?

Can the K70 or K95 (also the RGB models) are these USB 3 or USB 2? and can you plug just one USB cable in and not the other ?

If you are using USB3.0 port, you can just plug in the connector with a Keyboard icon.

Via USB2.0 port, you will have to plug in both connectors. Note: Plug in the connector with the two arrows icon first, and the connector with the keyboard icon second.

Hi guys,

Got my K70 RGB on Sunday and now I'm having a play...

Same fairly basic questions I think; how do you get the profile you have currently selected to 'stick?' As soon as I close the Utility Engine the board reverts to its default profile.

Also, when my system locks the applied profile reverts to a red key mapping - it would be useful if I could get that to either map blue or be all off?

Aside from these very minor things, I'm absolutely loving the board! Just trying to get used to the key sensitivity although I'm sure someone's going to tell me how to turn that down aren't they?

I can't believe I held out on a mechanical keyboard for so long...

Also, what's that little lock key for on the top of the board?

DrunkRufie · 16 Sep 2015 at 16:24

The little lock key is to disable the Windows keys.

To get the profile to stick, select it as your "Default profile" as well as saving it to the device memory - This should get rid of problem #2 too.

As for "key sensitivity", I am not too sure what you mean? How easy the physical keys are to press, the repeat rate, or what?

slipd · 16 Sep 2015 at 17:26

Thanks Joe! I've set a basic profile to default and I've saved it to device memory.

Now when I lock my computer I get a blank keyboard - an improvement from red key bindings but how would I go about customising that?

As for gaming, I was under the impression that you could quickly switch between profiles, surely you haven't got to keep setting them as default and saving them to the devices memory

My keyboard doesn't actually start lighting until the CUE software loads when you log in, I am fairly certain you can't change it, but I'll let somebody else verify this.

As for switching profiles - Right click the key you would like to dedicate to a specific profile - And press "Profile Selection/Switching"

Within the above menu, you can make X button switch from Profile A to profile B (e.g, pressing "End" switches from "Default" to "Rainbow Reactive" for me) - and then on your Profile B (Rainbow Reactive), you will want to map a key in the same way that switches back to Profile A (Default) - (So on "Rainbow Reactive", I have made pressing "End" revert back to the "Default" profile) - So you have a nice little cycle between them going on.

You can also make them into a list but I found this a lot more hassle.

Hope that kinda makes sense. A bit.

Thanks mate, I think I'm making progress...

I'm happy with my standard Windows profile which I've made default and saved to the device memory. Now I've created an 'FPS' profile, lighting effects mainly, but when I select that and minimise CUE the keyboard reverts back to my default Windows profile!

Any ideas?

Deo_volente · 16 Sep 2015 at 20:24

Are you selecting it in CUE itself or right clicking the system tray icon to select it?

CUE. I think I've fixed it by assigning it to all of my FPS games

That's one way around it. Otherwise you just have to change it via System Tray

Glad you're enjoying it, but if I am being honest I'm not a huge fan of the CUE software either... Took me way too long to figure out how to use it.

I knew it wouldn't be that easy, I did a lot of research before purchasing

I think it'll be worth it though. Lovely bit of kit!

The quality of the K* boards is epic. Love the metal finish and how easy it is to clean under the keys.

And the volume wheel. The one thing that's not on many keyboards at all, but I love it.

slipd · 16 Sep 2015 at 22:18

Okay, first snag...

I think normal .exe games are okay but what about all my Steam titles, how do I assign a profile to them?

MrCool · 16 Sep 2015 at 22:28

Interested in this too. Most of my games are on Steam nowdays too...

Similar on how you assign a game outside Steam. Edit Profile in CUE, then go to your Steam folder > Steamapps > common > game folder > .exe file

MrCool · 16 Sep 2015 at 22:43

Great, so you can. Good to know. Thanks.

slipd · 16 Sep 2015 at 22:46

Thanks guys, sorted! Also have to make sure Automatic profile switching is enabled from the system tray too

Weird my finely tuned 'FPS' profile for Far Cry 4 just suddenly stopped working a reverted back to my default one... mid-game. Any ideas?

Also, since I've assigned this profile to Far Cry 4, does that mean I have to copy it and rename it if I want to assign it to a similar title?

Thanks people.
