Thank you! Mystic Light kept turning my Corsair Mousepad and mouse Red. I would have to remove MSI plugin and download it again in icue to change the colors.
Ive tried to follow these steps, Icue doesnt have LEDkeeper in the software list at all, nor does it detect my mpg 550 gaming plus board, installed msi center and followed every thing so far, any ideas?

All my icue peripherals worked fine until I upgraded from msi z690 edge wifi to msi z790 edge wifi now my motherboard won't show in icue any ideas how to fix?I installed the msi plug-in
I can’t get icue to find my mob at all. Lightkeeper shows up in the active list but that’s about all. I want to get the Corsairs new mouse and k100 or 95 platinum to replace my razer mouse and keyboard. Right now everything I control through razer Snyapse 3 (mob, all rgb fans connected to my mob & mouse and keyboard. They are all synced together. Razer software is much better imo
my msi z370 gaming pro carbon led is not working after i update the dragon center and i cant sync my fans on the motherboard. please help me fix it. thankyou
Holy fucking shit thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!! I've been trying to figure out why my rgb wasn't being picked up when it was plugged into the mobo and this helped me FINALLY get it sorted. I spent the better part of 2 hours trying to figure out what I needed to do. This was EXTREMELY helpful
Thank you. I had it working, and then, due to a software update, MSI lost control of my MB, and I couldn't even get the lights to come back on, even though it was in iCue. Got me all tuned up with this vid and I have all my lights again.
I have a mpg 550 gaming edge wifi. My problem is, it doesnt even show op on the homemenu. In the dashboard i can see the temperatueres etc. so its detected, but i cant contol anything. Does anybody maybe have a helping hand?
In the video above, we connect an EKWB EK-Quantum Velocity 2 CPU Water Block D-RGB directly to the motherboard via the JRAINBOW header. What are you connecting, the Corsair Commander? If so, check with the Corsair Commander Pro manual, as it looks like that connects to a usb header and not an RGB header. *Per MSI manual for the motherboard mentioned above (Z690 MEG ACE)* "The JRGB connector supports up to 2 meters continuous 5050 RGB LED strips (12V/G/R/B) with the maximum power rating of 3A (12V)." _Do not connect the wrong type of LED strips._ "The JRGB connector and the JRAINBOW connector provide different voltages, and connecting the 5V LED strip to the JRGB connector will result in damage to the LED strip" _The JRAINBOW connector_ "supports up to 75 LEDs WS2812B Individually Addressable RGB LED strips (5V/Data/Ground) with the maximum power rating of 3A (5V).

@@RedEyeCentral thank you for detailed reply. I've been using MSI Center over a year now. And yes, i did every step you showed in the video but unfortunately there is still nothing in Devices tab. However, i can see LEDKeeper2 under Active Clients in Software and Games tab. Any advice?
@@HalesiaCarolina First things that come to mind is to make sure that all the MSI software and modules are updated. CHECK MSI IS UPDATED: 1.) Check your version of MSI Center and compare it to the one on MSI's web site www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-B550-GAMING-PLUS/support#utility 2.) You can also check if there is an update for the Mystic Light module from within MSI Center with the steps shown at this point in this basic MSI Center Installation Video th-cam.com/video/ZAwNrptAufY/w-d-xo.html 3.) Ensure Corsair iCUE is running the most recent version START FRESH: Next, if MSI Center, Mystic Light Module, Corsair iCUE, and Windows are all updated, you can try to clean it all out and start over. UNINSTALL/REINSTALL MSI COMPONENTS: Uninstall the Mystic Light Module Then Uninstall MSI Center Uninstall the SDK too (Via Pop-Up) The pop-up box shown here th-cam.com/video/ZAwNrptAufY/w-d-xo.html After uninstalling, restart the system and then re-install MSI Center (which will reinstall the newest SDK too), and then re-install the Mystic Light module, and see if that gets the board recognized in iCUE. *We posted a video walking through a basic installation of MSI Center here: th-cam.com/video/ZAwNrptAufY/w-d-xo.html CHECK CORSAIR iCUE VERSION: If the above update and re-installation attempts of those MSI components don't work, you could try to backup your iCUE profiles, uninstall iCUE, and then try a clean re-install of iCUE as well, just in case of any corruption issues with that previously installed program. BIOS: If everything above fails, you might want to check into BIOS updates on MSI's Product Page, Support Tab, BIOS sub tab, and see how current the BIOS you have installed is when compared to those listed on the MSI downloads page. It might be something that was improved over BIOS releases. www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-B550-GAMING-PLUS/support#bios There could also be the possibility that the board is not fully compatible with the SDK, but it's a board release from the past couple of years, so hopefully it is. Let us know if the issue resolves.
@@timtoomuch There can be a lot of rocks to turn over, but let's see if we can look at some other angles to try to get it recognized... Is this for onboard lighting or lighting plugged into the JRAINBOW/JRGB headers? There is some discrepancy about whether this works with onboard (Shroud, Chipset, I/O cover type) LED lighting; and if it does, how universal that support is across the product lines. But your motherboard should have RGB headers as well, so the motherboard should at least be detected within iCUE for access to those headers. The Z690 MSI Meg Ace that we used in the videos doesn't have any onboard lighting; the lighting being controlled was all plugged into JRAINBOW RGB headers. With that out of the way, if it is lighting plugged into the RGB headers, you could try to update the BIOS>MSI lists several BIOS updates for the MPG Z790 EDGE WIFI since its release. If you haven't already, you could try to update the BIOS to the most recent version, which, if your motherboard is the one mentioned at the linked support page below, then it looks like the most recent BIOS version is: Version 7D91vH7 Release Date 2023-07-13 File Size 9.74 MB www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-Z790-EDGE-WIFI/support If the BIOS is already updated or updating didn't resolve the issue, you could try to go through the steps below as well. Did you already try Disabling and Re-enabling the LED at the BIOS level by: entering the BIOS, disabling the MOBO LED at the BIOS level, loading into Windows, then rebooting to re-enter the BIOS to re-enable the BIOS LED again, before rebooting back into Windows? As we tried to walk-through here: th-cam.com/video/aMdKJWjKC4U/w-d-xo.html Since you mentioned that you tried the other videos we had for this issue, one thing that comes to mind, if the above didn't trigger it and get it recognized, is to ensure the Mystic Light Module within MSI Center AND MSI Center itself are both updated. As seen at the following mark in the linked video: th-cam.com/video/ZAwNrptAufY/w-d-xo.html Also, check to ensure Corsair iCUE is fully updated, along with the MSI Plugin within iCUE. MSI Plugin update shown briefly starting at the point in the timeline of the video linked here: th-cam.com/video/aMdKJWjKC4U/w-d-xo.html If that still doesn't get it recognized, then perhaps try to uninstall the MSI Mystic light module within MSI Center, uninstall MSI Center as well, and then uninstall the SDK. Uninstalling MSI Center walk-through here, except do the opposite of what we mention in that video and uninstall the SDK too: th-cam.com/video/ZAwNrptAufY/w-d-xo.html If uninstalling and then re-installing the MSI Center and the SDK alone didn't do the trick: Then, uninstall MSI Center and SDK again, and uninstall Corsair iCUE. But, backup or note your profile preferences for your devices within iCUE, if desired, before uninstalling iCUE. After that, restart the system and re-install both. After MSI Center and Corsair iCUE are re-installed, don't forget to re-install both the Mystic Light Module within MSI Center and the MSI Plugin within Corsair iCUE. Updaing and installing Mystic Light Module: th-cam.com/video/ZAwNrptAufY/w-d-xo.html Upating and installing Corsair iCUE MSI Plugin: th-cam.com/video/aMdKJWjKC4U/w-d-xo.html It could be that something is corrupted within one or both programs, either within a Windows registry entry or the program folder, appdata, or another folder, causing one or both of the programs to still be associated with the old motherboard that is missing. Uninstalling and then reinstalling might clear everything out and overwrite the previous installation that was associated with the old motherboard. Let us know if the issue resolves.

All my icue peripherals worked fine until I upgraded from msi z690 edge wifi to msi z790 edge wifi now my motherboard won't show in icue any ideas how to fix?I installed the msi plug-in
this is all lies
I can’t get icue to find my mob at all. Lightkeeper shows up in the active list but that’s about all. I want to get the Corsairs new mouse and k100 or 95 platinum to replace my razer mouse and keyboard. Right now everything I control through razer Snyapse 3 (mob, all rgb fans connected to my mob & mouse and keyboard. They are all synced together. Razer software is much better imo
bro I got a msi x570 ace max and icue won't see it, I've tried everything u said and still nothing
Is this going to work with msi GPU ??
my msi z370 gaming pro carbon led is not working after i update the dragon center and i cant sync my fans on the motherboard. please help me fix it. thankyou
icue not working with 690 carbon but there is no msi center installed anyway. icue does not show motherboard
Is MSI MAG B660M can't sync through icue？
Holy fucking shit thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!! I've been trying to figure out why my rgb wasn't being picked up when it was plugged into the mobo and this helped me FINALLY get it sorted. I spent the better part of 2 hours trying to figure out what I needed to do. This was EXTREMELY helpful
I can use led with mother board in icue because armoury crate use led
Thank you. I had it working, and then, due to a software update, MSI lost control of my MB, and I couldn't even get the lights to come back on, even though it was in iCue. Got me all tuned up with this vid and I have all my lights again.
Awesome info! 👏 I'd like to control the dragon logo lighting - it's got 4 zones I think. How to do that based on these fundamentals please?

Can i use this my b650 carbon wifi system ?
Still not working
no funciona en el b560 bazooka :(
Do we need to connect the motherboard to Commander Pro with an RGB cable?
In the video above, we connect an EKWB EK-Quantum Velocity 2 CPU Water Block D-RGB directly to the motherboard via the JRAINBOW header.
What are you connecting, the Corsair Commander? If so, check with the Corsair Commander Pro manual, as it looks like that connects to a usb header and not an RGB header.
*Per MSI manual for the motherboard mentioned above (Z690 MEG ACE)*
"The JRGB connector supports up to 2 meters continuous 5050 RGB LED strips
(12V/G/R/B) with the maximum power rating of 3A (12V)."
_Do not connect the wrong type of LED strips._ "The JRGB connector and the JRAINBOW
connector provide different voltages, and connecting the 5V LED strip to the JRGB
connector will result in damage to the LED strip"
_The JRAINBOW connector_ "supports up to 75 LEDs WS2812B Individually
Addressable RGB LED strips (5V/Data/Ground) with the maximum power rating of 3A
(5V). In the case of 20% brightness, the connector supports up to 200 LEDs."
"Always turn off the power supply and unplug the power cord from the power outlet
before installing or removing the RGB LED strip"
"The JCORSAIR1 connector allows you to connect the CORSAIR Individually Addressable Lighting PRO RGB LED strips 5V or CORSAIR RGB fans with the CORSAIR fan hub."
***You can also check out the thread linked below on the Corsair forums for an extra explanation about the Commander Pro from member c-attack:

Let us know what you find
When i click Settings in Icue, nothing shows up in Devices. can you help me figure that out? My motherboard is MSI B550 Gaming Plus
Does the system currently have MSI Center installed? If not, go here and scroll down and download the latest version of MSI Center:
MSI Utilities Downloads For B550 Gaming Plus
www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-B550-GAMING-PLUS/support#utility
Then install and Enable the Mystic Light Module and disable those settings in that module as shown at the 0:53s mark in the video above. Keep Mystic Light Module enabled and then you could even uninstall Mystic Center altogether if you didn't want it to remain on the system. Just keep the SDK as mentioned above at the 1:23s mark.
Then you can start at the Step1 in the video timeline above and use the timeline chapters to skip across the steps.
Step1 in the video starting with MSI Center: th-cam.com/video/wI7C5keDQ2I/w-d-xo.html
Let us know if the issue resolves.
@@RedEyeCentral thank you for detailed reply. I've been using MSI Center over a year now. And yes, i did every step you showed in the video but unfortunately there is still nothing in Devices tab. However, i can see LEDKeeper2 under Active Clients in Software and Games tab. Any advice?
@@HalesiaCarolina First things that come to mind is to make sure that all the MSI software and modules are updated.
CHECK MSI IS UPDATED:
1.) Check your version of MSI Center and compare it to the one on MSI's web site
www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-B550-GAMING-PLUS/support#utility
2.) You can also check if there is an update for the Mystic Light module from within MSI Center with the steps shown at this point in this basic MSI Center Installation Video th-cam.com/video/ZAwNrptAufY/w-d-xo.html
3.) Ensure Corsair iCUE is running the most recent version
START FRESH:
Next, if MSI Center, Mystic Light Module, Corsair iCUE, and Windows are all updated, you can try to clean it all out and start over.
UNINSTALL/REINSTALL MSI COMPONENTS:
Uninstall the Mystic Light Module
Then Uninstall MSI Center
Uninstall the SDK too (Via Pop-Up) The pop-up box shown here th-cam.com/video/ZAwNrptAufY/w-d-xo.html
After uninstalling, restart the system and then re-install MSI Center (which will reinstall the newest SDK too), and then re-install the Mystic Light module, and see if that gets the board recognized in iCUE.
*We posted a video walking through a basic installation of MSI Center here:
th-cam.com/video/ZAwNrptAufY/w-d-xo.html
CHECK CORSAIR iCUE VERSION:
If the above update and re-installation attempts of those MSI components don't work, you could try to backup your iCUE profiles, uninstall iCUE, and then try a clean re-install of iCUE as well, just in case of any corruption issues with that previously installed program.
BIOS:
If everything above fails, you might want to check into BIOS updates on MSI's Product Page, Support Tab, BIOS sub tab, and see how current the BIOS you have installed is when compared to those listed on the MSI downloads page. It might be something that was improved over BIOS releases.
www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-B550-GAMING-PLUS/support#bios
There could also be the possibility that the board is not fully compatible with the SDK, but it's a board release from the past couple of years, so hopefully it is.
Let us know if the issue resolves.

Thanks for the help !
Under active clients it has LEDKeeper2.exe as not supported
Under events access column? This system says that too. Shouldn't prevent it from working. Which motherboard?
@@RedEyeCentral it worked fine on msi z690 edge wifi upgraded to z790 edge wifi now no motherboard tried all your tutorials
@@timtoomuch There can be a lot of rocks to turn over, but let's see if we can look at some other angles to try to get it recognized...
Is this for onboard lighting or lighting plugged into the JRAINBOW/JRGB headers? There is some discrepancy about whether this works with onboard (Shroud, Chipset, I/O cover type) LED lighting; and if it does, how universal that support is across the product lines. But your motherboard should have RGB headers as well, so the motherboard should at least be detected within iCUE for access to those headers. The Z690 MSI Meg Ace that we used in the videos doesn't have any onboard lighting; the lighting being controlled was all plugged into JRAINBOW RGB headers.
With that out of the way, if it is lighting plugged into the RGB headers, you could try to update the BIOS>MSI lists several BIOS updates for the MPG Z790 EDGE WIFI since its release. If you haven't already, you could try to update the BIOS to the most recent version, which, if your motherboard is the one mentioned at the linked support page below, then it looks like the most recent BIOS version is:
Version 7D91vH7
Release Date 2023-07-13
File Size 9.74 MB
www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-Z790-EDGE-WIFI/support
If the BIOS is already updated or updating didn't resolve the issue, you could try to go through the steps below as well.
Did you already try Disabling and Re-enabling the LED at the BIOS level by: entering the BIOS, disabling the MOBO LED at the BIOS level, loading into Windows, then rebooting to re-enter the BIOS to re-enable the BIOS LED again, before rebooting back into Windows?
As we tried to walk-through here:
th-cam.com/video/aMdKJWjKC4U/w-d-xo.html
Since you mentioned that you tried the other videos we had for this issue, one thing that comes to mind, if the above didn't trigger it and get it recognized, is to ensure the Mystic Light Module within MSI Center AND MSI Center itself are both updated. As seen at the following mark in the linked video: th-cam.com/video/ZAwNrptAufY/w-d-xo.html
Also, check to ensure Corsair iCUE is fully updated, along with the MSI Plugin within iCUE.
MSI Plugin update shown briefly starting at the point in the timeline of the video linked here: th-cam.com/video/aMdKJWjKC4U/w-d-xo.html
If that still doesn't get it recognized, then perhaps try to uninstall the MSI Mystic light module within MSI Center, uninstall MSI Center as well, and then uninstall the SDK.
Uninstalling MSI Center walk-through here, except do the opposite of what we mention in that video and uninstall the SDK too: th-cam.com/video/ZAwNrptAufY/w-d-xo.html
If uninstalling and then re-installing the MSI Center and the SDK alone didn't do the trick:
Then, uninstall MSI Center and SDK again, and uninstall Corsair iCUE. But, backup or note your profile preferences for your devices within iCUE, if desired, before uninstalling iCUE.
After that, restart the system and re-install both.
After MSI Center and Corsair iCUE are re-installed, don't forget to re-install both the Mystic Light Module within MSI Center and the MSI Plugin within Corsair iCUE.
Updaing and installing Mystic Light Module: th-cam.com/video/ZAwNrptAufY/w-d-xo.html
Upating and installing Corsair iCUE MSI Plugin:
th-cam.com/video/aMdKJWjKC4U/w-d-xo.html
It could be that something is corrupted within one or both programs, either within a Windows registry entry or the program folder, appdata, or another folder, causing one or both of the programs to still be associated with the old motherboard that is missing.
Uninstalling and then reinstalling might clear everything out and overwrite the previous installation that was associated with the old motherboard.
Let us know if the issue resolves.
@@RedEyeCentral Yo I notice the same with LEDKEEPER2 but like your it shouldnt be an issue. I have MSI z790 MEG Godlike and I cannot make it work. The Mobo never show up in the device list of ICUE. I am using iCue V.5.5.134, what about you ?
@@jer42688 Yes, the latest version of iCUE Core v. 5.5.134 with MSI Plugin version 2.2.0.0 is working on the Z690 MSI MEG ACE.
It can be glitchy to get it detected on some systems and it can require some steps to restart the program or service to keep it recognized. You can try to terminate iCUE and then re-open it a few times to see if that gets it working.
Here is a list of several videos where we walk-through and cover some of the different trouble shooting and setup steps for MSI Center and Corsair iCUE:

Also, you could try to completely remove the MYSTIC LIGHT MODULE within MSI CENTER, and then remove MSI Center and the SDK, and then remove the MSI PLUGIN with Corsair iCUE, and then remove iCUE (backup your lighting profiles first), and then restart and try to fresh install MSI Center, the Mystic Light Module, Corsair iCUE, and the MSI PLUGIN within iCUE.
