The latest version of iCUE has mic muting baked in ... if you have VoiceCommand installed and set up (account required). This method doesn't require anything, as iCUE also let's you bind keyboard actions to any of your keyboard keys, including the Gx keys.

So:

  1. Set this script up in your AHK installation. Change the keymappings as needed (remember, you're not actually going to have to chord this key combo, you'll be programming iCUE to do that for you, so be as obtuse and unusual as you wish).
  2. Use iCUE to configure a Gx key on your keyboard to fire the "Toggle Microphone" key chord.

That's it. You're golden.
