Apple - Setting up key bindings of Corsair Vengeance K70 to work with OS X
The following worked for me:
- Open System Preferences --> Keyboard --> Modifier Keys
- Select the Corsair Vengeance K70 from the Select Keyboard pulldown list
- Setup your mappings - for me I remapped
- Ctrl Lock to Control
- Option to Command
- Command to Option
- Close the Keyboard System Preferences
- Restart the computer (I believe that you can also just close the Preferences unplug the keyboard instead of restart)
After a restart everything worked as expected on Mavericks
KeyRemap4MacBook also supports device-specific settings:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<devicevendordef>
<vendorname>KINESIS</vendorname>
<vendorid>0x05f3</vendorid>
</devicevendordef>
<deviceproductdef>
<productname>ADVANTAGE</productname>
<productid>0x0007</productid>
</deviceproductdef>

<device_only>DeviceVendor::KINESIS, DeviceProduct::ADVANTAGE</device_only>

I don't know the vendor or product IDs for Corsair Vengeance K70, but you can see them with EventViewer.app, which is located in /Applications/KeyRemap4MacBook.app/Contents/Applications/
