Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your keyboard, connect it via the included USB cable to a high-speed port to ensure the 8,000 Hz polling rate functions correctly. You must install the latest version of the Corsair iCUE software and the Elgato Stream Deck software to enable the advanced features. Compatibility is primarily focused on Windows-based systems where both software suites run seamlessly. For care, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the keys and the LCD screen. Since the switches are hot-swappable, use a standard switch puller if you need to replace any components, ensuring you don't force the pins during installation.
