Assigning Mouse Buttons with iCUE

Corsair mice offer a variety of additional buttons beyond the basic left and right click. These buttons have been preset with useful functions, but the real power comes from configuring them to your specific needs using the Corsair Utility Engine (iCUE). Typically, to bind your mouse buttons to in-game controls, you will need to use the remap key action.

2. Select your mouse on the iCUE home screen.
3. Click on Key Assignments on the left menu.

For iCUE version 4 or newer

To give you an example of how to assign mouse buttons, we will walk you through how to assign the key "P" to the back button of a mouse.

Follow the instructions below:

1. Open iCUE.
2. Select your mouse on the iCUE home screen.

7. In Remap: Keyboard select the button you would like to have this button mapped to. In this example click the letter "P"

If everything was done correctly, there should be a new action called "Keyboard 1." You can quickly test your configuration by pressing the back button of your mouse in any text field. This should result in a "p" being typed into the field.

From there, you can visit the controls menu in your game and bind whatever you want your button to do onto the "P" key.

This example just scratches the surface of iCUE's configuration power, we welcome you to bring more advanced questions to our forums or customer support team.

6. From the center drop-down menu, change "MACRO" to "A-Z KEYS" under "REMAP."
7. Click the circle next to "P."
8. To the left of the image of your mouse, click the button labeled "Back."

If everything was done correctly, there should be a new action called "Remap A-Z keys #." You can quickly test your configuration by clicking into the search bar in the actions menu and pressing the back button, which should type "p" into the field.

From there, you can visit the controls menu in your game and bind whatever you want your button to do onto the P key.
