Dear Corsair: The keyboard aristocrats aren't too fond of you
They say your keyboards are overpriced
They complain about having only 256 colours of RGB
They complain about your new logo
They complain about the non-standard bottom row
But as the King of macros,
I don't care about any of that.
You know what I do care about
The Corsair Utility Engine 2 - it's fantastic.
On any keyboard that supports CUE software, I'm able to reprogram every single key
ROCCAT keyboards are only partially reprogrammable
Annoying voice: "COMPLEX MACRO SEQUENCES''
Tesoro software doesn't have all the features I need and it seems to be different with each keyboard
The Genovation KB170L only has 66 macro keys and the software is something straight out of 2001
And Logitech keyboards aren't reprogrammable at all.
Only the macro keys are reprogrammable
Even the legendary Logitech G15 only had 18 of them
And I loved this keyboard, so imagine how I must feel about the Corsair K95 RGB
It's got a hundred and twenty-six macro keys
as the macro King this pleases me
And on top of that, you've got, I think
Unlimited profiles to change the layout of the entire keyboard with just a single button press
or better yet I can link a specific profile to a specific application
It's brilliant, but here's the problem
if I plug in multiple Corsair keyboards
I am not able to assign different profiles to different keyboards
They all act like the same keyboard
This is a problem that Windows has had for its entire lifespan. It can't tell the difference between multiple keyboards
For over two years I've been looking for an airtight method of
assigning a second keyboard as a unique input.
I found a way to do it using LuaMacros and my video on the subject was immensely popular
But the solution was slow and limited to only one key at a time
And it didn't always work
It turns out that applications like LuaMacros have some serious problems that are insurmountable
So I kept looking and I found Oblitum Interception. It's a driver based solution that works perfectly,
but it's a huge pain to set it all up correctly and even then it's only limited to 10 device drivers per
reboot, so long story short if you plug in too many USB devices --
They stop working. And to remove this limitation. I would have to pay $2,200
I wish I was joking so then I thought, okay
Surely if I just swapped out all of my keyboards for Corsair keyboards
Then CUE 2.0 would be able to tell the difference between them.
Nope Can't do it
Corsair, Corsair. You're so close
So close to being the ultimate macro solution for the everyman
You already have all the expensive drivers. I know you do because I can see them
They're right here. The K95 uses four of these
with those drivers your CUE software can already tell the difference between a Corsair keyboard
and a non Corsair keyboard so if I use a Logitech G910
as my primary keyboard. I could use the Corsair K95 purely for macro keys
this entire video could have been
well just use a Corsair keyboard as your secondary keyboard
But I Want to use the K95 as my primary keyboard. Why are you doing this Corsair?
Why are you discouraging us from owning and using more than one of your keyboards at a time
Why would you do that?
Look all we need, all we need, is the ability to make a
profile that is unique to a
specific keyboard
everything else is already in place. You do that and Corsair
Suddenly has the ability to do something that no other keyboard manufacturer has accomplished.
A lot of working professionals will swear by the usefulness of
devices like the Razer Tartarus or the Logitech g13
really
$100 for 25 keys
Four dollars a key? these additional input devices have always been
significantly more expensive than a normal keyboard
But there's no reason for that. You can dominate this market with an incredibly simple solution.
Just buy a Corsair keyboard instead.
By the way, I do think you guys should offer a standalone CUE enabled numpad like this.
Anyway, take a look at these expensive solutions that people keep sending me
$25 per macro
but even the most expensive Corsair keyboard, the k95 platinum is only $1.49 per macro. And,
What's the cheapest corsair keyboard that still supports CUE?
the k63
It's even on sale. That's 80 cents per macro key for the ultimate air tight, easy to customize macro solution
for the everyman.
Corsair you're like
99% of the way there, just take one more step, add this feature
Make me proud
sincerely,
the Macro King
