The computer provides several pre-defined lighting effects. Use the keyboard shortcut Fn + Space to cycle through these lighting effects.
Note: When CORSAIR iCUE is running, the lighting effect is controlled
by the iCUE app and you cannot use Fn + Space to use the pre-defined
lighting effects. To stop iCUE from running, right-click on the app
icon in the notification area and select Quit.
| Lighting effect | Description |
|---|---|
| Rainbow | The keyboard, ventilation slot, and side LEDs change color according to a pre-defined pattern to create a lighting effect similar to neon lights. |
| Solid color | The keyboard, ventilation slot, and side LEDs take on the color of cyan. |
| Ripple | The keyboard LEDs are turned off. However, when you type, with the key you pressed as the center, the surrounding keys, from near to far, turn on and off quickly. This simulates ripples produced by throwing a stone in a pond. |
| Raindrop | The ventilation and side LEDs change color at fixed intervals. The keys on the keyboard turned on and off randomly. This creates an effect similar to raindrops falling on the ground. |
| Sound and music (2 effects) | The keyboard and side LEDs turn on and off according to the music or sound that is played. This simulates the spectrum display that is found on some stereo component systems or music players. |
Note: The factory pre-defined lighting effects may change with firmware
updates and may not be exactly the same as described in the table.
To turn off the LEDs, use the keyboard shortcut Fn + 
. The LEDs are automatically turned
off when the computer is running on battery power and is placed in
quiet mode.
