Thank you. It looks OK, the USB ID and HID parameters match the ones expected by AIDA64. Have you tried it after closing CUE?

When rgb is activated and i type on my strafe, there is some "flash" of random colors, but not regular...

I think we've found the issue in the RGB LED module of AIDA64. We will fix it up in the next AIDA64 beta update due in a few days from now. I'll post a message into this topic once the new beta is available for download.

It works! thanks a lot!

Thank you for the feedback ;)

 

There is just one issue, if i choose "row of keys" "0-9" or "1-0", always "1-0" keys light up. Never "0-9".

Supporting non-US keyboard layouts about RGB LED is unfortunately a big challenge, regardless of the keyboard manufacturer in question. I think the ultimate solution will be to offer custom key list building, so you can specify exactly what keys do you want to be lit as a row.

And i have to stop Corsair Utility Engine

That's true. Corsair hasn't yet come up with a proper SDK for its RGB LED products, so we have to talk to the device directly. That will then collide with CUE. The ultimate solution for this issue will be when Corsair introduced a RGB LED SDK with proper synchronization and device sharing across multiple applications.

Hello,

I have a Corsair K70 and I've been trying for hours to set up a temperature monitor to change the color of the keys.  No luck.  I read this thread and downloaded 5.70.3843 Beta.  I also exited CUE.  No luck.  I'll attach my USB dump here.  Please let me know if my keyboard is supported and if so, what I need to do to get this working.

Thanks!

Is this an old variant of the K70 or a recent one? Do you perhaps know the hardware revision of the keyboard?

It's a very new keyboard - just got it.  Here's what I see on the bottom:  K70 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard.  M/N: RGP004 P/N: CH-9000119-NA

S/N: 189316148427.  I hope that what you need is in there somewhere.

Thank you for the info. Please upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme available at:

http://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta

After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade.

If it still cannot find your keyboard, then please post a new USB Dump. We've added a few more details to that dump to help investigate this issue.

Thanks,

Fiery

Thank you for the quick response.  I upgraded to the latest beta and restarted Windows.  Still no luck.  I am posting a new usb dump.  For this dump, I had the keyboard plugged directly into a USB port on the PC and not through a hub as I had when I did the last dump.

 

Thanks for taking a look.

Thank you for the updated dump. We'll do some further improvements in the next AIDA64 beta update. I'll post a download link for the new beta update into this topic soon.

Do you have a SDK for the keyboard, or any other technical details on how to talk to the keyboard?

Unfortunately not, and did not find it.(((

Technical support, says nothing about this.

OK, maybe I spoke to soon.  It works perfectly if I choose "All Keys" or "Single Key" as the item type.  But if I choose "Row of Keys", I get various results.  For function keys, only F1 thru F7 light up.  For Numbers (1-0) or, 1-5 light up.  For numbers (0-9) the 0 and 1-4 light up.  For QWERTYUIOP, only QWERTY light up.  (For the rest of the rows, only the leftmost five or six light up).

 

But at least I can see it's working, and for now I'm using "all keys."  Thanks again.

We've contacted Corsair to ask for their assistance on this issue. I'll let you know in this topic once we have an update to this issue ;)

Thanks for all the help with my K70.  I'm enjoying the RGB keyboard enough that I just added a Razer Chroma RGB wireless mouse.  I was hoping I could have AIDA64 show colors on the keyboard for one measurement and colors on the mouse for another.  I haven't been able to get the mouse to respond to AIDA64 at all.  Is my mouse supported?  I'll attach another usbdump file.

 

I appreciate all the support.

      Can we have a hotkey to turn RGB LED on/off?
      By vlad
      Hello to the developers! Long time no talking....
      If is not too much trouble, I would like to have the ability to turn on/off the RGB LED function via hotkey. It takes complete control of the keyboard and mouse rgb lightning and this is not always what I want. Having to dig through the menus is cumbersome.
      Idealy would be the have a transparent background color that would let other lights from devices software to go through, although I do not know if that is possible..... It seems to me that the peripheral only lets one app to "tell it what to do".
      Btw I use Razer Huntsman and Razer rgb mouse....

      Rotate output in AIDA64 LCD config for Logitech Arx app

      Would be nice if you could rotate output 90 degrees in AIDA 64 LCD config for Logitech ARX.
      This, so you can get tablet mode.

      Razer LCD Application Error
      By kaotik
      I'm having a small issue with aida64 when i enable Razer SwitchBlade LCD support. Everything is fine until i restart windows and i get the following error message:
       
      If i change the update Frequency it seems to change how often the error happens although it happens on every frequency I've tested at some point. Any help would be appreciated, ill list my specs below if there's any more information i can provide to help please let me know. Disabling LCD Support resolves the problem but i would like to get it working if possible.

      New LCD device support: EVGA Z10 gaming keyboard
      By Fiery
      We've added support for the built-in 160x32 pixel monochrome LCD screen of EVGA Z10 gaming keyboard.  You can enable the LCD device from AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / LCD / EVGA.
      [/
      Currently AIDA64 communicates with the LCD directly, using USB HID interface.  It collides with EVGA's own software (EVGA Unleash), so it's recommended to close that software before enabling EVGA Z10 support in AIDA64.  EVGA will soon develop a proper SDK/API for their keyboard, much like the LCD API of Logitech gaming keyboards, so that multiple software can put information on the LCD the same time, without collisions.
      You can find the new AIDA64 beta update at:
      https://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta
      Please let us know if you find any difficulties enabling or using this new feature. Also let us know if you've got another kind of LCD device that is currently unsupported by AIDA64.
      Regards,
      Fiery
