Envision Controller: iCUE Overview
This article provides an overview of the functionality with the SCUF Envision Controller in iCUE.
Which Buttons on the SCUF Envision Controller are Mappable in iCUE?:
- Bumpers (LB/RB)
- Triggers (LT/RT)
- Instant D-Pad
- Action Buttons
- Left and Right Stick Buttons
- Rear Paddles (2x Outer & 2x Inner)
- 2x SAX Buttons (S1/S2)
- G-Keys (G1-G5)
*Please note: A & B will need to be mapped elsewhere on the controller before the physical buttons can be mapped.
In total, there are 25 Remappable buttons in iCUE!
*Note: Mappings are for when the Controller is being used with iCUE Actively Running on PC.
How many buttons can I bind and save onto the onboard memory for the controller?
- 2x SAX Buttons (S1/S2)
- Rear Paddles (2x Outer & 2x Inner)
*Note: Mappings while in Device Memory Mode are intended for when iCUE is not actively running or simply whenever this mode is toggled, and the profile is saved on to the onboard memory. Make to save/overwrite the on-board profile after adjusting the hardware mappings otherwise it will not save.
When setting up Custom Mappings - you simply need to select the Yellow rectangle with the "+" -> Choose the Mapping Type -> Select the controller input -> and Define the remap action.
You can use the mappings library to store remaps you have created for later use.
Lighting Effects - for iCUE Compatible Hardware, the default lighting in Hardware Mode is Rainbow Wave.
Default Lighting for iCUE is Watercolor Spectrum.
However, with iCUE you can change the lighting using some of the effects listed under "Lighting Effects".
Lighting Library works similarly to the mappings library, except for lighting effects.
*Note: Customizable lighting is only available while used with iCUE Running, PC Only. Lighting Link will affect all iCUE Compatible hardware active on your system.
The Triggers & Thumbsticks section allows you to fine tune the response curve and even adjust Deadzone per trigger and thumbstick to fit your needs. Think of adjusting a sensitivity curve, with a few presets to choose from and even the option to make your own custom presets you can make the triggers suit your specific needs.
Of course, if you have the Envision Pro, you can switch into instant trigger mode using the toggle switch on the physical triggers. Worth noting that these curves and adjustments will really only affect full-trigger mode. (Instant Trigger acts a button)
Vibration can also be adjusted using iCUE - this is something you can either adjust per side, or individually depending on your preference. You simply need to select sync if you want both modules to match, or not.
Please note: That "Lighting Effects" & "Mappings" settings will not be saved and applied to the controller when iCUE is not running (settings such as response curves, deadzones, hardware mappings, etc. will be saved).
Device settings in iCUE allow for the following:
- Checking for and updating the Firmware on the Controller and Receiver
- Adjust Brightness of the LED Strip
- Enable and adjust the Auto-Shutoff Timer
- Enable Eco Mode (disables vibration and Lighting)
- Pair to the receiver if necessary (Pro Only)
