How to: Set up hardware key assignments in iCUE

When you create custom key assignments in iCUE, you can save those key assignments onto the onboard memory of your Corsair keyboard or mice. This means you can continue to use those key assignments when iCUE is not running or you use them on a system that does not have iCUE installed.

NOTE: Some options will not be available for hardware key assignments, as those options requires iCUE running in the background.
