You can use our iCUE software to record macros for your K70 RGB MK.2 keyboard and assign the macro to a key.
You can further customize your recorded macros by using the advanced settings and start settings. The advanced settings let you:
- Determine what sort of key press will trigger the macro (e.g. simply pressing the key or holding the key)
- Whether the macro will execute once or repeat itself
- Perform a second action after the first macro is finished executing
With the start settings, you can choose a sound effect to play when the macro triggers, giving you confirmation that the macro has been executed. You can also choose a lighting effect to signify when the macro executes.
