Saving Corsair K70 profile to keyboard

[XeroDarkness7]

Hey everyone, I'm trying to save a specific lighting profile to my K70 RGB keyboard, and when I do save it to the keyboard by clicking "Save profile to device memory." instead of saving the lighting effects, it turns off the lighting effects. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

press the lighting buttons at the top right to turn it on after saving?

OK, that brings up another problem, now I found out that the lighting key on the top right of my keyboard doesn't seem to do anything when the software isn't running.

OK, but when I first got my keyboard, it had some default lighting before I ever installed the software, that is now gone, and i have NO lighting. If I can't have the lighting effects that I want loaded onto the keyboard itself regardless of software, I would like the default lighting back.

hmmmm, see this is the problem with rgb software, they're annoying as f*ck. i have the non-rgb version of the k70.

 

i think the best way is to just experiment with the software and see what each setting does.

Good suggestion. I tried it though, no dice, lighting still turned off as soon as I lock my computer.

oh you lock your computer?

it needs power to turn on,

lets say you put it into a different computer that is on, then it will show

The computer is still turned on, it's just on the Lock screen, or even if it's on the Login screen when I first turn on my computer, same deal. It has power, that's what allows me to type in my password to log in. I am not hibernating my computer or shutting it down. I'm not a total Dunce (although when I finally find out the solution, it'll probably be totally obvious and I'll feel like a total Dunce).

No other ideas? Anyone?

1. You use Save Profile to Device Memory to store your profile on your keyboard so you can use your profile without CUE.

2. You use Set as Default Profile to tell CUE what profile to use when opened.

 

If you already done those two above to no avail, it's best to either reinstall CUE or update it, delete all your profiles then create a new one and save it to your device memory.

I guess I'll be wiping out my profiles. Thanks for the info! I'll let you know how it goes.

Figured it out. Corsair tech support was open today. Apparently if you have any kind of animation for the profile you save to your computer, it has to have the software open to run it, and cannot run it natively. A static profile with no animation can be saved and work on the keyboard without the software.
