UNDERSTANDING
PROFILES AND MODES
To get the most from your Corsair Utility Engine, it’s
important to understand how profiles and modes
work�
When you install the Corsair Utility Engine, a default
Profile with a single default Mode is created� The
default profile is active when no custom profiles are�
For example, if you have a custom profile linked to
Call of Duty®, when you launch the game, its profile
starts� When you exit the game, the default profile
becomes active again�
PROFILES
• A Profile is group of settings usually linked to
a specific game or application�
• You can set up a Profile to be activated when
a particular game is launched, or you can
switch between Profiles using the System Tray�
• You can define a Default Profile to be the one
used when there is no game-specific Profile
active�
MODES
• A keyboard Mode is a set of macros/key
assignments, lighting effects, and performance
UNDERSTANDING
PROFILES AND MODES
settings that can be created for a profile� You
can have multiple Modes for each Profile�
• Modes allow you to customize your keyboard
to fit your style of play at the time� For
example, in an online multiplayer fantasy
game, you may have two different characters,
a Warrior and a Mage, and you may want
to have different keys lit, different lighting
effects, or different macros or key mappings
for those characters, even though they’re tied
to the same game�
• You can assign a keyboard key to cycle
through each of the Modes in a Profile� (See
“Mode Switching” in the User Manual)
You can get started right away, customizing
the default profile by changing key or button
assignments, changing performance settings, and
adding lighting effects� For more information about
profiles and modes see the User Manual�

keys, multiple keys at once, or to predefined or
custom groups of keys�

CORSAIR GAMING RGB KEYBOARD SOFTWARE QUICK START GUIDE
By default, your Corsair keyboard has red
background lighting assigned to the group called All,
and the groups for the WASD and arrow keys have a
gradient lighting effect that changes them from red
to white� When you create a new profile, the default
mode for the profile will also have these settings� If
you want to remove the default lighting to add your
own customizations, perform the following steps�
In the Corsair Utility Engine,
1� Click Profiles and then click Lighting�
2� An image of the keyboard appears in the
Lighting tab� In the bar above the keyboard
image, click All�
3� All the keys in the image will be highlighted�
Right-click one of the keys and then click
Clear.
4� The lighting for all the keys should turn off,
though the WASD and the arrow keys will still
change gradually to white because they have
a foreground lighting effect� In the bar above
the keyboard, click Arrows�

highlighted� Right click one of them and then
click Clear�
6� In the bar above the keyboard, click WASD�
