Corsair Utility Engine Software
Corsair Utility Engine Software
The Corsair gaming K70 RGB keys make use of what is now called Corsair Utility Engine, the software has been overhauled and is looking quite good (albeit difficult to use). You get to use options like configure both the lighting portions of the keyboard as well as create powerful actions such as double macros, re-mappable key assignments, timer countdowns, dpi adjustments, and more.
Each and every standard key is configurable with both actions and lighting that work in conjunction. So basically you may perform a combination and key sequence actions with the press of a button, but you can also incorporate a lighting profile on the keyboard to reflect the actions being initiated. So loadling a weapons macro could make the function keeys flash twice as visual indicator. Corsair (at default settings) has set the most popular keys for FPS to red while all the other keys are teal. The background refers to the colors that will remain static on the keyboard much like backlighting. As one of its many features, Corsair incorporated groups of keys into the software.
Corsair Gaming 2.0 software contains a wide variety of actions. Opposed to the previous generation, where only the Vengeance K95 had the ability to create key sequences like macros, the K70 RGB can do the same without the addition of dedicated macro keys. This is a result of having every standard key on the keyboard be customizable, thereby establishingthe K70 RGB as the ultimate gaming keyboard.
Users are able to also create an OSD that can display options like profile and mode changes and actual timer countdowns. Additionally, users can configure the size of the text, transparency, and/or color to best fit their needs. Users can also select from a pre-populated list of the most popular media players or add their own so they can control the application while in the midst of gameplay.
