Audio visualiser on K95

[RESIST AUTHORITY]

Hi, i heard this could create an audio visualiser lighting effect on my K95 platinum keyboard via icue integration, whereas the official CUE app doesnt let you use the audio visualizer unless you buy their crappy $100 VOID headphones which i will never purchase. is that true? can i buy this and use the audio visualizer without having to buy the headphones?

I cannot answer this for sure but it looks like only the K95 RGB Platinum keyboard is supported by the part of iCUE that we use for Wallpaper Engine:

However, you can always give it a try and then request a refund via Steam Support if you don't like the application or if the iCUE integration does not work. As far as I know, if you use the app for less than 2 hours, it should automatically grant you a refund. If you do give it a try, feel free to let me know of the outcome, I am curious myself. No hard feelings either way.

I can't resist the chance to help out a developer. I bought it and installed, so far i am getting no lighting effects at all on my K95 Platinum. it just blacks out the keyboard and gives me no option to turn on icue effects. im still looking around, i made sure the plugin was enabled in settings.

Just to be sure, you have this exact model, right?

Okay, so the problem was on my end. I did not have the latest firmware installed for my K95 Platinum. After updated my iCUE and grabbing the latest firmware, it works perfectly! thanks. Now the coolest thing ever would be to add iCUE effects to my own custom wallpapers.

Ah alright, glad you figured it out!

All Scene wallpapers support iCUE out of the box, you just have to make sure to tick the "iCUE enabled" checkbox in the "Installed" tab when selecting a wallpaper. See our Corsair FAQ for more infos:

This is correct. However the built-in audio visualizer software options that can be turned on in iCUE are only accessible on systems which have a Void RGB headset connected. I know this because I tried it various ways, then did extensive research on multiple online forums and found many, many other users who confirmed the same things I was experiencing. This is also what I said in my original post.

It appears that the keyboard visualizer doesn't work unless you set audio to go through void headsets, but if you set it to go through speakers it doesnt work

Indeed correct!

Maybe Solocadet should read more carefully before complaining about someone asking questions here.

On icue by itself you need to have their headphone "plugged in" to be able to do what the OP wants otherwise you can use WPE as long as your keyboard can do individual RBG keys unlike say the k55 rgb which only has three rgb "sections" which greatly limits the things you can do.

I do have the k68 each key is addressable led, the visuals work just sucks have to use just the headphones, if u wanted to listen through stereo speakers or something it be nice if it worked
