If you have a K95.rar file (or similar .rar compressed file containing firmware), it is typically used for a "hard reset" or manual firmware update to fix a "bricked" keyboard (e.g., keyboard lights up but doesn't type, or iCUE doesn't detect it).
The computer should recognize the keyboard as a drive named CRP_DISABLED . Release the paperclip. Update firmware: Open the CRP_DISABLED drive. Delete the existing FIRMWARE.BIN file.
Use a paperclip to press and hold the button inside the pinhole.
Copy the new firmware file ( .bin / .isp file extracted from K95.rar ) into this drive.
Find the small hole on the underside of the keyboard (often near the polling rate switch or under the tilt legs).
