Creating a profile switch

To create a profile switch:

1. Mouse over your mouse or keyboard in iCUE.
2. Click Key Assignments.
3. Click the + button in the Assignments section.
4. Select the Profile Switching icon in Assignment Type.
   
   
   
5. In the Profile Switching section, select if you want a Single Profile or a Profile List.
6. Select the profile(s) you want included in profile switching.
   • If you assign multiple profiles, you can drag and drop to reorder them in the rotation list.
     
     
     
7. Select the mouse button or keyboard key you want to assign the profile switching to.
8. Click Copy on the lower right corner to apply the changes to all profiles that you have added to the rotation list.
   

Managing your profiles

Once you have created a profile, you can edit it by selecting the profile and then clicking the menu button next to it.

You can then:

• Set the profile as your default profile
• Rename your profile
• Make changes to your profile
• Copy the profile
• Import or export profiles
• Delete the profile

If you have multiple profiles and want to organize them, you can click the folder icon to create a folder and then drag and drop profiles into it.
