Question Corsair K100 RGB Keyboard dead/not working out of the box?

[SomeGuyonTHW]

Hi, I recently got one, but when I plug it into USB ports of my computer, the keyboard stays off and none of the keys work, as if the keyboard is dead.

I tried installing ICUE software and looked for drivers but found nothing.
Are there any drivers i must download or any specific keys I should press?
Or I should just assume the keyboard is dead and send it back? since i got it today its under warranty too.
maybe these more expensive keyboards have some extra steps?
Edit: MUST ONLY CONNECT THE KEYBOARD TO A USB 3.0 PORT, OR IT WILL NOT WORK!

It should work out of box. Appears to be defective.

Nope, I solved the issue, turns out you MUST connect the keyboard cable into a USB 3.0 port, or else it won't work, my motherboard has only two out of the many so I was plugging it into the wrong ones.
I figured this out after reading the manual out of boredom.

Why would a keyboard need a 3.0 bandwidth??? I have no clue, this was weird.

Ah, the manual. The last bastion of product help. Classic!
