How to: Set up hardware lighting in iCUE

If you want your Corsair products to have your custom lighting effects without needing to run iCUE, you can use the hardware lighting feature to customize your devices for whenever iCUE is not running or when you use your Corsair device on a computer without iCUE.

NOTE: The instructions here apply for iCUE version 4. While hardware lighting exists for iCUE version 3, the user interface will differ.

 

 

What is hardware lighting?

Hardware lighting is an iCUE feature you can use to set lighting effects to display whenever iCUE is not running. This means that these lighting effects will display when you do not have iCUE running in the background or connect your Corsair device to a computer that does not have iCUE installed.

When you create an iCUE profile with hardware lighting, you need to save the profile onto the onboard memory of your Corsair device. You can see how many onboard memory slots your Corsair device has by selecting the device in iCUE, then clicking Device Settings.

NOTE: The number of onboard memory slots available will vary by device.

 

 

How do I set up hardware lighting?

If you want to set up hardware lighting:

  1. Open iCUE.
  2. Select the device you want to set up hardware lighting for.
  3. Click Hardware Lighting on the left menu.
  4. Select the lighting effect you want to apply in the Lighting Type section.

  5. Customize the lighting effect using the options provided.
  6. Once you have finished customizing, click Device Settings.
  7. Go to the Onboard Memory selection and select a slot to save the profile in.
    • If all memory slots are full, you will need to delete or override one of the slots to save your new profile in.
