CUE 16.8M Color Statement







Each of us see colors differently so you may or may not perceive a huge difference with 16.8 million color mode enabled. Visit our forums, load up a few profiles and see for yourself. Hopefully you like what you see. Similarly, some users may notice flicker in some combination of effects. While reducing flicker is possible, this would have impacted the keyboard response time. Performance is top priority at Corsair and we made the decision to keep the advance lighting options available despite some side effects. We hope you agree and if you find the flicker objectionable, you can revert to the original color mode for certain lighting profiles.



In addition to the 16.8 million color mode, we have also introduced a new USB protocol for both the software and the firmware. This new protocol will resolve many issues our users have provided feedback about and we are confident that this will drastically increase the overall user experience for those concerned with the performance and functionality aspects of the keyboard. Please check the patch notes for more information as well.
