Remappable Paddles

Remappable paddles allow you to keep your thumbs on the sticks and engage fingers that are usually passive. It may take some time to get used to, but it will shorten your response times and provide you with game-changing milliseconds. Envision’s inner paddles are removable if you only need two paddles. The paddles are easily removable if you don’t want to use all 4.

Your controller comes with three pre-set paddle profile configurations to get you started. Simply press the Profile Button on the front of the controller to select the one you want.

Please note if iCUE is running, mappings in the software will be prioritized over the out of the box mappings listed below. To use the out of the box mappings, quit iCUE.

Remappable Side Action Buttons (SAX)

Envision features two side-action buttons, one on each side of the controller. Just in case you do not want to use the SAX buttons, we have made them removable and have included blank out pieces to make sure your controller still looks and feels great. To remove the SAX buttons, simply remove the faceplate and replace the SAX buttons with the included blank out pieces, then replace the faceplate. We think you’ll love the extra buttons, though.

Triggers

Your Envision comes with standard triggers. Your Envision Pro, on the other hand, comes with a two-way trigger stop, giving you your choice of standard or digital triggers. Use instant triggers that activate like a mouse click for the fastest of shots. Prefer a longer pull for those days at the track? No problem, flip the switch the other way for the full range of motion in your triggers.

Customization

ONBOARD CUSTOMIZATION: Want to swap your thumbsticks? Change your D-Pad? Change up your faceplate? Simply remove your faceplate by gently pulling it from the top, near the USB-C port and pull away. Make your changes. Reverse the motion to replace. Game on.

Keep your look fresh with a new Faceplate, Thumbsticks and Anti-Friction Rings — there are endless combinations available at scufgaming.com.

ENVISION_QSG_DPAD

Interchangeable Thumbsticks

INTERCHANGEABLE THUMBSTICKS: First things first, what are you playing?

For first person shooters, we recommend using your tall thumbstick on the right for precision and accuracy through the scope. Short concaved on the left to dig in for quick, responsive moves. For sports games, stick with your concave sticks, they’ll give you the right balance.

Want to do your own thing? We get it. Remove your faceplate trim and simply pull the thumbsticks away from the shaft. Slide the new one on just as easily. To remove your Anti-Friction Rings, simply push them out from behind the faceplate trim and reverse the motion to reinstall.

iCue x Envision

FIRST TIME USING iCUE?

If this is your first time using iCUE, please note that iCUE will detect all iCUE compatible devices, including Envision. You will be prompted to download and update to the latest firmware on any of your eligible devices, including Envision.

GETTING STARTED WITH ICUE + ENVISION

To begin configuring your controller with iCUE, plug in your controller to your PC via the provided USB-C cable. If you are using an Envision Pro model, please ensure that the switch on the back of the controller is set to USB mode.

envision_wire_wireless_button
CORSAIR iCUE Color Logo
icue_dashboard

After launching iCUE, you will be presented with a home screen.

The home screen shows all of your iCUE compatible devices.

Select the SCUF Envision module to begin configuring your controller.

Within the Envision module, there are sections that allow you to configure the settings of your controller.

Please note that when first ever using Envision, iCUE settings will not populate the controller until you click into each settings section.

MAPPINGS

envision mapping setup

The mappings section represents the mappings of the controller while iCUE is running.

There is a list of preset mappings that you can choose from to use or reference from when creating custom mappings.

Please note that the preset mappings, in iCUE, will differ from the out-of-the-box starter mappings that come pre-loaded on your controller.

  1. To create a custom mapping, select the “Custom” tab.
  2. Press the yellow “+” button to open up the “Mapping Type” menu.
  3. Select the mapping type you want to use.
  4. Select the button that you want to change.
  5. Select the function you want to map to your selected button.
envision_all_mapping

Ensure that the controller image reflects the mapping you want.

Now you have successfully remapped your function to another button.

iCUE allows you to remap and change virtually any button or trigger on your controller within the mappings section. The controller images show what functions can be changed and are highlighted in yellow and light gray. Buttons highlighted in yellow do not have a default function. Buttons highlighted in light gray have a default function that you can overwrite by remapping them.

Please note that you cannot change the “A” and “B” buttons unless the “A” and “B” functions are mapped somewhere else on the controller. The “A” and “B” functions are critical to the majority of games for selecting or going back within menus. As a safety precaution, we have locked those buttons until you remap those functions to another button.

HARDWARE MAPPINGS & SAVING PROFILES TO YOUR CONTROLLER

envision_mapping

Hardware Mappings represent the mappings of the controller when iCUE is not running.

Please note the controller must be connected to PC via USB-C cable and in wired mode to edit onboard profiles and save profiles to the controller.

Just like the mappings section, there is a list of preset mappings that you can choose from to use or reference from when creating custom mappings.

Please note that the preset mappings, in iCUE, will differ from the out- of-the-box starter mappings that come pre-loaded on your controller.

To create a custom hardware mapping, please follow the same steps found in the mappings section.

Please note that unlike the “Mappings” section, you are limited to what buttons can be remapped and what functions are remappable. Only the Paddles and SAX buttons can be configured within the Hardware Mappings section and all non-controller functions such as macros, launching applications, etc., are not available to be mapped. All configurable buttons are highlighted in yellow.

Be sure to save your hardware mappings to one of the on-board profiles on your controller so that you can use your favorite layout without iCUE running.

envision profile save

To save your profile to your controller:

  1. Select the drop down menu.
  2. Choose the profile you want to save to your controller.
  3. Select Device Settings.
  4. Press the three dots next to the Slot # you want to save your profile to and select “Overwrite.”

Now your profile has been saved to your controller.

Please note that Lighting Effects settings will not be saved and applied to the controller when iCUE is not running (settings such as response curves, deadzones, mappings, etc. will be saved).

Below is a reference table to show what “Slot #” is associated with what profile color.

Slot Number 

Profile Color
Slot #1 Blue
Slot #2  Red
Slot #3  Green

LIGHTING EFFECTS

envision lighting

The lighting effects section allows you to customize your LEDs on your G-Key panel and LED Bar.

You can configure the LEDs by changing them to a different preset or creating your own lighting effect.

To configure your LEDs, select the active effect in the “Lighting Layers” column or the “+” button to create something new.

You will now see all of the options you can change.

Please note that iCUE must be running for your controller to display your desired lighting effects.

TRIGGERS

envision trigger presets

The triggers section allows you to configure how your trigger behaves when pressing it. You can use the available presets or create your own preset to configure them.

To create your own preset press the “+” button.

Next, choose a preset “curve response” for the desired trigger you want to configure.

You can also create your own curve response but selecting the “Custom” tab.

You can fine tune your curve response by clicking and dragging the white dots to your preference.

Please note that the X axis represents how much the trigger is pressed and the Y axis represents the activation value of the trigger. You can tune the values of the trigger at 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% trigger depression.

You are also able to tune the deadzones of the trigger. To do this, adjust the deadzone slider, located at the bottom of the graph, for the desired trigger.

deadzone_adjustment

Please note that adjusting your deadzones below 2% may cause unintended trigger movement in-game or within menus. Having a large deadzone will mean that you have to press the trigger much more before a game recognizes the trigger movement.

THUMBSTICKS

envision thumbstick presets

The thumbsticks section allows you to configure how your thumbsticks behave when exercising it. You can use the available presets or create your own preset to configure them.

To create your own preset press the “+” button.

Next, choose a preset “curve response” for the desired thumbstick you want to configure.

You can also create your own curve response but selecting the “Custom” tab.

You can fine tune your curve response by clicking and dragging the white dots to your preference.

Please note that the X axis represents how much the thumbstick is moved and the Y axis represents the registered value of the thumbstick. You can tune the values of the thumbstick at 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% thumbstick movement.

You are also able to tune the deadzones of the thumbsticks. To do this, adjust the deadzone slider, located at the bottom of the graph, for the desired thumbstick.

deadzone_adjustment_2

Please note that adjusting your deadzones below 2% may cause unintended thumbstick movement in-game or within menus. Having a large deadzone will mean that you have to move the thumbstick much more before a game recognizes the movement.

VIBRATION

envision vibration presets

The vibration section allows you to set your vibration intensity.

You can use the available presets or create your own preset.

To create your own preset press the “+” button.

Next, use the sliders to set your desired vibration intensity.

Please note that both the left and right sliders will mirror each other when the “Sync” button is on

DEVICE SETTINGS

envision_device_settings

The device settings section allows you to check for updates, check battery status, adjust brightness, and toggle on or off settings such as:

  • Sleep Mode
  • Eco Mode
  • Show Battery Gauge in Notification area

Additionally, this section allows you to pair your wireless receiver should you ever need to re-pair it and view, set, or reset your on-board memory profiles

USING SAVED PROFILES OR OUT OF THE BOX CONTROLLER SETTINGS

envision bg taskbar

As a reminder, you can save your favorite profiles to one of the three available on-board memory slots to your controller. Additionally, almost all settings within each section (other than lighting effects and non-standard controller functions) that you apply to your profiles are saved with your profile to your controller.

To use your profiles that you saved to your controller, or if you just wanted to use the out of the box controller settings and mappings, you will need to quit iCUE completely.

To quit iCUE, bring up your hidden icons. This is usually located near the right side of your taskbar (bottom right of your entire screen).

Click the “^” (up arrow) and locate the iCUE icon

Right click the iCUE icon and select “Quit”

Now you have completely quit out of iCUE.

Please note that just closing the iCUE window, or closing it from your taskbar, does not quit the program as it will still be running in the background.
