nice but sometimes it stop auto switching how top fix it?
Please contact #official-support for any troubleshooting and bug reports 🙂
what is quickset
Ok, so profiles for our profiles? Sounds good
But it doesn´t load a preset in Sonar for the game?
I can't seem to find Quickset on my app, I'm just very confused as to where it might be. Pretty sure my keyboard is compatible with the software as well.
Its beta, you dont have access to it
Yeah, loading sonar profiles would be great. Is the most annoying thing changing presets in sonar by hand for a game change.
For me its not switching the preset after starting the game (CS2), is there anything i can do?
Is there a way to change the relevant apps for a predefined config? I want to use the League of Legends config, but League has a client and a game, where I have the client open all the time. It'd be nice if I could disable it specifically for the client and only have the preset work in game since the client is more like a desktop
I love this feature but man if you restart your pc it won't work
again tell your reinstall the GG
What's breaking in quickset when you restart? Does the game switching not work?
Unfortunately there's currently not a way to change the game detection logic. However, QuickSet should only load your configs when the app is focused in the foreground, so if you have the client open in the background, QuickSet should still switch back to the default Desktop configuration. Is it not doing that?
Yeah it does do that. It just sometimes has to switch a lot when I’m tabbing in and out 😂
after I restart my pc the auto-switch doesn't work
I could switch profiles manually
but not auto
can you let me know what games/apps you're using? It would help to know so I can dig into it and see if I can reproduce the issue.
I tried even to close gg software before restarting my pc " after I reinstall the gg software "the issue returned
doesn't auto-switch
I'm using kaspersky does it interfere with the gg? coz when I reinstall it after the restart works fine
unfortunately I don't know too much about how antivirus could interact with Quickset, so I can't say. Plus since Kaspersky is banned in the US I wouldn't be able to get it to investigate.
why does my apex pro tkl write by itself i bought it for 250 dollars for it to start bugging after 6 months? help me please
Don't ping mods or staff for support. I answered you elsewhere :)
I set up quickset have auto enabled, but won't switch to the game I load.. when I boot into windows I get notification for desktop, but nothing loads for the game I play..
me too
Why we need to log to steelseries GG after update? Isnt it annoying entering mail and password everytime?
This doesn’t happen to me
how can i disable Quickset?
Currently there is no way to disable QuickSet, but if you do not need to use it, then it shouldn't do anything, as there would be no profiles to switch to. If you experimented with QuickSet and added profiles, you can just delete them until the default Desktop is the only item remaining.
haaa
what do you have against my old apex pro bro nahhhh
Nothing, I don't work here :D
But they added support for all Apex Pro keyboards
#gg-updates message
haha yea i dont mean you directly just company
It's still a great keyboard to be fair
thanks bro much appreciated
yea works fine except when i have to relug it into my system when i change the actuation point, when the LEDs are broken on like 20 keys so i just turn the RGB off entirely, when the software asks me to do a firmware update and it doesnt work and i have to replug my keyboard ten times since it keeps flashing red, when some keys just lag behind because of the age, when i cant use rapid trigger since it also breaks my keyboard and i have to replug it again, when the little magnets from my wrist pad fall off (2 times btw, had to rebuy it and it still fell of) so they arent even glued onto the wrist rest and instead they just sit on my keyboard magnet and dont really ever align
Other than 2 or 3 dead blue LED's I've thankfully had none of those issues after using it for like 5 years or something but dang, that sucks
That's a lot
yeah maybe its just a faulty board or something, ive had it for a similar time now
im not gonna buy a new one until it completely breaks im not wasting any money, its a nice keyboard, it was very good at the beginning, now its kinda mid
Yeah, for sure
ill definitely buy a custom keyboard next though, i really want it to be hotswappable and stuff, i wish the apex was but yea
The Apex 9 is hotswap
does it have those magnetic switches and stuff as well?
unfortunate
Can you even do magnetic switches without inventing a new hotswap standard?
many great boards like keychron q1 he or wooting 60he that are hotswap with magnetic switches
oh
and they support many other magnetic switches from gateron for exam´ple
I would imagine you'd need extra connectors or something for hall effect switches
But I'm no expert on it
not sure how that all works
Me neither
I do kinda want a custom one as well at some point
yeah i just want it for the sound, i dont really care about the performance that much, few milliseconds wont make me better at any video games
Feel/sound for me mainly
yea
🤷♂️
Hi everyone, I'm new here, can anyone clear my doubt?
This audio application has some risk of being banned in CS
Quick set seems to have stoped switch apps for me.
If I switch to any app that it's setup with a profile, it doesn't change to it. Helldivers, Grey zone, custom Discord keyboard layout, or even back to the default desktop one.
me too and after you reboot your pc this feature wont work
It already doesn't work
even if it working for you this feature will stop working after you reboot your pc either way
You didn't read what I posted CLEARLY. AS I SAID IT"S NOT WORKING
No change with latest update either 😦
How do you opt into this? I'd like to try it out
nm, just seen this. I don't have a SteelSeries keyboard yet
This support article does have the most up to date information of what devices can opt-in to QuickSet: https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us/articles/30239082314893-Will-QuickSet-work-with-my-device
SONAR FOR QUICKSET FINNALY YES
QuickSet for Sonar sounds fun but I'm confused why it's locked behind the purchase of a keyboard (not related to audio). I'm fine with paid features, but don't really understand this. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the help link in the release announcement.
The help link said it unlocks when you connect your apex pro keyboard
QuickSet is still in Early Access, and was originally designed for keyboards (and keyboard presets.) At this time we're still limiting the Early Access beta to Apex Pro keyboard users, but it will be opened to all users soon.
Ok that makes sense
huh okay
I'll look forward to giving it a try once I'm able to (I don't have or plan to buy an apex pro, but I'm fine waiting)
Still seems weird that a preset for a keyboard is treated different to a preset for a headset.
Because surely it’s the same kinda code logic to detect a game running
Came here to say "Huh? Quickset for Sonar requires a keyboard???"
I was only thinking about this the other day with my newly purchased Nova Pro Wireless headset, and switching of presets when running different games
Like just enable Engine to switch Sonar presets already!
Guess I'll stick to my Sonar.AutoSwitch for now....
When I say "designed for keyboards" I generally mean the Engine specific actuation presets. Much of QuickSet is actually a refresh of the older Library system in Engine that would only work within Engine. This new addition of Sonar into QuickSet is the first time this system is able to affect a different app within GG, so we're still rolling it out slowly. There's still plenty of improvements and features to add before the beta opens to more users!
So QuickSet will (eventually) replace Engine? Is that the plan?
Engine is not going to go away anytime soon (otherwise we'd break a lot of old legacy devices, including devices over 10 years old!) but over time QuickSet may be the new Hub for your devices. It's still something we're exploring.
I'm confused why Sonar quickset is locked behind having a certain keyboard
But this is a good new feature and I'm excited to try it when it releases for everyone
I'm tired of swapping presets
I made an app to switch the presets for me when playing games
I wouldnt mind a link if its open source
Github
Just found it thx
Understood. The ability to have Sonar presets switch according to game seems to be a frequently requested feature. I have my Rival 5, and some of my Nova Pro Wireless, settings set to switch automatically, but the one piece of the puzzle missing for me is Sonar. Heck, if I didn't play on a laptop I'd maybe even consider buying a new keyboard, just for that feature! So I will be eagerly awaiting it (hopefully) supporting my setup.
@tender ravine It is going to be available to everyone right? Not locked behind a hardware requirement
Eventually, yes! Not sure what the exact timeline is but over time we'll be opting in more and more users and device families until it's ready to go out to everyone.
Is this a timeframe where I should stop adding stuff to the AutoSwitch app, or is it going to take a while from now, or can't say?
Damn, how long did it take? 4 years for Sonar to support auto switching? Pfff...
I unfortunately don't know the timeline well enough to say.
Anyway I can get access to the beta to bug test as I already have an app that does the same sort of thing, so I'd be good at finding bugs if any? xD
As far as I'm aware, the only way to opt in currently is to have connected an Apex Pro keyboard. It doesn't need to be plugged in all the time, but just once to allow the opt-in.
That sucks
hey folks - we updated the release notes for some additional clarity on the rollout of QuickSet (including Sonar game audio switching).
"We are excited to announce that QuickSet now enables Sonar game audio auto-switching when you start up a game or manually change QuickSet profiles. QuickSet is currently available in early access to users with an Apex Pro keyboard. We are planning on rolling out QuickSet (that now includes Sonar integration) in multiple phases over the coming months as we move from early access to full release. This allows us to incorporate initial feedback on the experience and make any changes before we roll out to a larger group. The first phase is available for Apex Pro keyboard users. The second phase will include all SteelSeries audio device users. The final phase will include all Sonar users (regardless of if you are using a SteelSeries audio device or not). We know that this is a highly requested feature from our community and we look forward to making this accessible to all users in the near term."
hey! could anyone explain to me why sometimes quickset does not apply the preset for a desired game? it is random... I tried to disable it and re-anable, but that did not the trick... right now, it is just now working the auto-switch profile 😦
Is it certain games, or just completely random when you launch a game?
To make sure I understand - when you create a QuickSet profile the game preset is not auto-applying to your device (when you have auto-apply presets ON) configuration OR is the configured QuickSet profile not auto-switching when you launch your game?
sorry about how I explained myself, sometimes English it is tricky... it is about the second explanation you gave. The configured quickset profiles are not auto-switching when I launch the games. Looks like it is happening in every game for me specifically. Let me know if you need more details. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for confirming. Any chance you noticed when it began to happen? For example after PC woke up from sleep, re-starting PC, etc.
I got the same problem if you reboot your pc this feature won't work again till you reinstall the software
i have the same problem. Sometimes it work and sometimes it just refuses to switch the Sets when i start a game or tab out of it.
Is it okay to DM you to get your GG logs?
Is it okay to DM you to get your GG logs?
I honestly don’t know, but as you can see it seems to be happening to others… if you think it is useful, please let me know if I can share any logs to you. Thanks!
If I had beta access I could tell you exactly where its going wrong :(
You'll get access in time :)
Might as well add new featured to my app in the mean time
can i go back to the old system?
Small feedback: FFXIV wasnt being detected so i manually added the exe. While renaming the profile does work the profile itself is shown as "game" (because the folder for the exe is named game i guess)

Anyone know how to set up a marco so that I can repeat mouse left click when I press shift+left click?
or is it possible?
i just bought Aerox 5 and want to change the colors and buttons. Can anyone help me understand why GG isn't opening? I did everything they told us to do on their support page with no results.
Would have been nice to give this beta to users with hundreds of dollars worth of SteelSeries audio gear too...
They will but not yet :)
They commented on availability further up #quickset-home message
Another problem is that the application icons are not displayed))
In order for apps to output to the other devices in Sonar, you'll need to route the apps to the specified device. Routing can be done in one of two ways:
-
Use the routing drag and drop interface underneath the audio outputs to simply move any apps playing sounds to the required output
-
Open the Windows sound device by going to Settings > Sound > App Volume and Device Preferences. From this settings menu you can use the dropdown to route any app.
If you are having issues with routing not working or apps moving back to another device after dragging them, you may need to check the app itself for any sound output settings. Some apps like Discord, Spotify, and Apple Music may need to have their outputs changed within their app settings rather than done through Sonar.
Is QuickSet still exclusive to SteelSeries users?
I believe so
The next step is letting all Sonar users have access iirc

can someone help me with the headphones i can't hear right left when i play csgo2
so you wont need an apex pro to get access in the future? 🤔
if yes could you tell me a ballpark estimate of when it will be available to everyone
Correct
I'd like to but I have no idea when
Ah i see... appreciate you
guys do the Quick set profiles actually change for you ? it's true its a cracked game im talking about, cuz it changes when i start a Fullscreen game
nope, not one game I play ever changes the quick set profiles. I need to do it manually, when I log into windows though it gives me a notification for changing to desktop profile, thats it
the toggle option for wireless headset users is reversed
see video above, it says this feature should be off to enable switching upon powering on and off of nova pro wireless, but thats not the case, its teh opposite
device priority list cause it wasn't included in the vid
idk if this is right place for it, but, this channel says beta and this is beta feature, this has been issue for many months
I think you're misreading the text. It needs to be off when you want the line out to automatically change when turning off the headset, it's not about the fallback feature
Like the physical line out on the transmitter
Ah i understand, the wording imo is a bit confusing as i thought it was referring to the headset and system in general, not specifically the DAC line out which i forgot existed
All good, I can see why it can be confusing
dose anyone know the bestt settings for making foot stepts in r6 louder but everything else lower
So... no public quickset yet?
#quickset-home message
Where next step
It probably won't release to public until end of 2025 or later 💀
If you're comfortable with downloading a third party program to edit a GG file, there's a way to opt yourself into quickset even if you don't have the keyboard for the requirements
2. Close GG
3. Locate your GG database file at "C:\ProgramData\SteelSeries\GG\db\database.db"
4. MAKE A COPY OF THE DATABASE AND SAVE IT SOMEWHERE. This is just in case something goes wrong with the following steps.
5. Open the database.db file in the editor
6. Locate the "Settings" table in the editor. (If you're using the editor mentioned in step 1, go to the "Browse Data" tab and use the dropdown to select Settings)
7. Click on the button to add a record. Make the key "loadoutsEligible" and the value "true"
8. Write your changes to the database and close the editor.
9. Open GG, and QuickSet should be available now in the list of apps```
video of steps 5-8
this an error when opening quickset?
hmm, not too sure besides restarting GG again just to see if that helps. i never saw it
Restart didn't help either, but no worries, it's ok
oh, and just to be sure, is the editor closed? if it's left open then the DB file might be locked and could cause GG errors
Yes, it's closed
🤔
well hopefully if you followed the instructions you can just restore the old DB file
other values do get written in the DB once quickset is loaded, so it might be better to just restore the old one, but your call
I did not make a backup
Yeah, just removed the new records and loadoutsEligible one, all good.
it was worth a shot. if other people come in with the same issue i'll delete my steps just so i don't convince more people to bork their install
Thanks for the effort mate!
Thank you so much @restive rapids - it is like you were reading my mind today. The outlined steps work fine for me!
Just to confirm: On a second system where I use the Arctis Gamebuds X it works fine as well.
Pretty neat to be able to assign a hotkey to switch to a specific audio profile, helps when I forget to turn on my FPS settings and I'm in the middle of a round of Valorant 👍🏾. I only wish I could assign a Meta Binding to be the hotkey
While you cannot directly assign a QuickSet shortcut action on the meta layer (because the setup for that would exclude non-SteelSeries keyboards from using the shortcuts), what you can do is to assign a key combination to the profile and then assign the same key combination to the meta key layer key you want (using Quick Record). That will trigger the shortcut when you hit the meta key combo
what does quick step do?
Just got an Aerox 5 and realized that if you modified the "Default" config the settings are always reset to the factory defaults on profile switch. For my headset I can edit the corresponding "Default" config and it is not reset to factory defaults. I just created a different "My Default" configuration which works as intended.
Thank you so much you changed my life ❤️
I'm having issues of Quickset not automatically changing presets when games are launched
So in case anyone looks here:
Quickset profiles are not automatically switching, unless you go to quickset, click the + to add a new profile and then click "Scan for games", even if the games you are a playing are already showing in the Game Profiles section and you already having Quickset profiles for them.
There also isn't a way to remove Game Profiles from what I can see, for instance I uninstalled Battlefield 2042, it still shows there, and even says that it's installed, but I can't remove it.
why you deleted liblary?
The three-dot menu next to the profile's name when selected has a delete option
You can delete "Custom Profiles" by going to the Quickset profile, clicking the 3 dots and clicking delete, but if you manually add a game using the "Add manually" button, there's no option to delete it. You can delete the "Quickset Profile" but the game will stay in the "Game Profiles" even if you uninstall the game.
Can delete the ones circles in red, can't delete the ones circled in green
And having to delete the "Custom profiles" by selecting in it "Quickset Profiles" isn't very user friendly.
oh, your complaint is about not being able to delete the entries in the My Games page, not the profiles associated with them? Got it
Pretty much, you can delete quickest profiles, you can delete custom profiles (by delting the quickset profile associated with it) but you cant delete the game profiles
Automatic profile switching doesn't work properly. It works sometimes but it doesn't most of the time. It wasn't like this when it first came out. I think the devs broke something somewhere which is a shame because it was the first time GG felt a bit less like bloatware.
Why hasn't Quickset worked since the last update? It just doesn't switch automatically anymore. Can someone help me?
@umbral python @lean wraith If you click "Add New Quickset Profile" and then click "Scan For Games" it will work until you close GG fully or restart your PC.
It doesn't work; the Quickset can't select automatically. Since 2025, Steelseries has been plagued with nothing but problems.
Yes, but if you click that button it works until you restart
The problem is, as soon as I scan for new games, it freezes. How else should I do it?
@grim wren you didnt delete all the dudes scam messages theres some around random channels
My quickset can no longer find games, everything is gone as soon as I press search it freezes, what's wrong with the app
They are trying to make the bloatware worth keeping around but in their desperation they fail. All most of us want is a standalone engine app but no, we must install either a total memory hog that tries to be an even worse Razer Synapse or we have no way of knowing which profile we are on at any given time. Razer at least does functional RGB very well, they don't even have that.
Feel free to post constructive feedback and suggestions in #1070392859125104660 so the right people sees it
come on. Let your premium headset owners use this now.
All the Quickset profiles are gone, and even searching for them doesn't turn up anything. When were you finally going to fix it? Not even auto-switching works.
I did that last year. Not many people saw it. I really don't get how people are happy with the bloatware suit.
By the right people I meant SteelSeries and they do see all posts there but they obviously can’t do every suggestion
it is not in their best interest to give us engine standalone
If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend filing a support ticket on this so they can get it on file and let you know how to get the error logs up
No, I don't know how to do that, what exactly do I have to do?
There are instructions in the post in #official-support
There's nothing there that can help me. My Quickset profiles and all other profiles are gone. Your support page doesn't even address this problem
Which is why there are instructions at the bottom of the post for getting in touch with support directly
Your support is a bot that can't help me
You contact support through the bot after it tries to help you
English only please #rules
Your bot isn't there, and all my Quickset profiles are gone, as are other profiles. SteelSeries also removed the comments on YouTube for Quickset videos. Apparently, you don't want to address this issue at all, or you can't.
The bot is definitely there and quickset is in beta so issues are bound to happen
Look for the orange chat icon
After the latest update, all Quickset profiles are gone, and it no longer switches automatically. Well, I'll wait for the next update. If nothing changes, I won't buy anything from SteelSeries again. You have too many problems with your Sonar app, it's too much.
I've thankfully had no issues with Sonar but do what's best for you :)
You may not have any problems, but others do. This is evident from the many comments that many buyers have problems with the Sonar app. Nevertheless, I thank you for your help.
For sure, that's just unavoidable. You're welcome
Why is the actuation for Minecraft’s Quickset what they are? I don’t get it..
Hello, i dont know if its issue on my side or in general but with new QuickSet when I change games and browser, quickset change profiles for each of them cuz I have set it that way, for a second I hear static noise in headset. not sure if its general issue or maybe just on my end. If someone has any info please let me know how to fix. Thank you
edit: its happening only when option auto switch is on, if I turn it of no statis noise but even in manual switching is static noise still there
someone needs to ban this jerk
Quickset automatically switching profiles used to work for me but it's stopped working. I think the last update broke it. I had a profile for Helldivers 2 that would switch whenever I started the game and switch back to my default when I went back to desktop, but it doesn't autoswitch anymore. Now I have to manually change profiles if I want it to happen.
Same thing for me, I had a profile for cs to disable the rapid tap i have for the default, and i got kicked because it didnt change. I wish there was a way to opt out
seems like quickset is more broken than I though
We ever going to get an option to remove these? I don't even have most of these on my PC anymore, but anything that gets added there stays.
And funnily enough, the things I don't have anymore still have their normal name, COD and Forza, which I do have installed still say "uninstalled" when I hover over them.
@lean ferry
The feedback is appreciated and I'll mention it again to the product folks, but no promises or ETA
Anyone else having problem getting the Oblivion remaster insider profile to quick shift?...all other profiles i have works but not this one.
Also an option to remove uninstalled games from the list would be very nice.
What do I do with this now?
Like how do I convert it or apply it to my settings
It doesn't appear that they're converted
Having to edit the database to delete game profiles lol
It’s almost like it’s in beta or something 😅
Still, being able to delete a game isn't hard to do
Probably not but they’ve clearly focused on getting other stuff made for it first
I'll make it myself xD
Enjoy

@severe canopy @severe canopy
Hello
There was a steam scam link when I sent that
Ah fair
version 87.0.0 is out did they fix automatic quickset profile change?
Changes are listed in #gg-updates and on the tech blog.
Is possible active without buy headphones :?
anyone having issues with new GG87 crashing due to windows confliction?
NO
my s is not working well idk why but if i toutch it very hard it falters but if i toutch it very soft its working so is it like broken?
im on holiday right now. does quickset work with Rainbow six seige?
Yup
can iget help here?
v
does anyone know where i can get in direct contact with staff, like a ticket or something
Quickset game profiles just getting filled with uninstalled games that I can't delete without entering the database and removing entries..... Why has this still not been fixed....
Hi everyone!
We're gathering feedback on some upcoming features in SteelSeries GG and would love your input. The self-paced session takes about 10–15 minutes to complete.
To participate, follow the link below.
Some sections are password-protected - use the following password when prompted:
Password: steelseries2025
Thanks in advance for your time - GLHF!
it wont go thru im stuck entering the password
Try a different browser
wow quickset-beta kinda works sometimes!!!! at least its going back to my main windows profile when i quit game (sometimes)
i have the steelseries gg downloaded but it keeps telling me to reset the computer and when i try to enter it keeps telling me to download it. pls someone help me
Hi everyone!
The design team is back and looking to get some further feedback on upcoming features in SteelSeries GG.
We've added some new questions and removed the password requirement so it should be a bit easier to participate this time.
Completing the survey should only take about 10 minutes.
Thanks in advance for your time - GLHF!
Rather than adding new additional features, personally i'd rather you fix the consistent sonar crashing issues. They only seemed to become a thing once quickset was added.
Have you tried contacting support about it?
im going to shortly, because i had tried a few times in the sonar chat, as it's a sonar/quickset issue, but ill be contacting support directly when home
which keyborad is faster gen 3 full size or gen 3 tkl
Why might QuickSet not be auto-switching for me?
Fixed it with an uninstall and reinstall.
they all the same
And it's stopped auto-switching again... really don't want to have to reinstall, because I just got all the profiles set up after the last reinstall...
Is there anything else that might fix it?
Reboot doesn't work.
Toggling auto-switch off and back on doesn't help, even with closing and reopening the app.
Not sure what else to try.
Have set up shortcuts for now, but it would be nice to have it auto-switch...
Like it did for all of about 2 days.
Hello, I have been dealing with the auto switch issue in QuickSet for quite some time. It refuses to work after fresh boot UNLESS I open the application, select QuickSet tab, select the + to "add a new quickset profile", then select "scan for games". This process enables the auto switch feature for me between games/desktop until I shutdown at the end of each night. Its def not consistent even after this, sometimes you will need to alt/tab out of a game and back in for it to recognize. Let me know how it goes for you.
steelseries gg error, cannot be open
i cant open stellseries gg i dont no wy
Me too broo
Do you have any RGB software installed @karmic cedar @balmy minnow?
Make sure it's not set to close other RGB software
Which preset is a good base to start for a marvels rivals config? Recommendations?
I will have to try this, if it still doesn't work after the new update.
Seems like a lot of faff for functionality that should just work, though.
Can we PLEASE get an option to delete game profiles, i have 100+ game profiles of games and apps i don't even have installed anymore that I can't delete without manually editing the database @tidal night
I agree I could just manually assign the a hotkey for each profile or select it via the onboard screen. As for the update, just completed and still no dice with autoswitching.
You can already?
And I'm still on 92
Then I don't understand what you mean
Had to edit database to delete games I no longer have installed....
I'm confused, I don't even have that there. I just have Engine, Prism and Sonar 😅
Click the + to add a new quickset profile and it's all there
Oh
It even knows it's uninstalled, but still stays, with no option to manually delete, so over time as you install new games/apps that get added here it just starts piling up.
I kinda get why it's low priority tbh but it should definitely get fixed before it comes out of early access
Just makes adding profiles tedious, especially when you install as much stuff as I do. It quickly becomes annoying trying to find all the game profiles for the quickset profiles you want to make.
For sure but I would guess it's somewhat rare that people install and uninstall as many games as you do
Plus there's a search feature
Still super annoying
This seems to have worked!
And, I have a laptop, so I almost never fully shutdown. 🙂
Just need to remember to do this when I eventually need to reboot.
Hey, does quickset also automatically activate the profiles when tabbing in and out of games?
Yeah
Okay 😄 i cant get it todo it for my minecraft 🙁
can i deactivate the beta and use the old thing somehow?
the old system works the same way
yeah but it worked 😄 the quickset doesnt
No, quickset does not auto switch games profiles without a little intervention.
Just do this: #quickset-home message
How i can fix crackling sound with quickset?
Everytime I close a game, GG opens. Why?
i could cry... autoswitch kinda works
Yeah I had to uninstall and reinstall GG the other day after my keyboard profile refused to apply. This reinstall has resolved the auto switching issue thus far. knocksonwood
hey, does anybody know if quickset's still a thing? i can't find it in the news section
it would be under "home" if you have access to it
thanks for replying! i don’t see “home” anywhere in the software
i saw some vids that it should be on the left tab but it’s not there on my end
do you have a device that'll let you access quickset? right now it's just limited to certain devices. https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us/articles/30239604461197-How-do-I-enable-Quickset
So you want to know how to gain access to the awesome Quickset feature? Its simple, just connected your Apex Pro keyboard, Nova 7, Nova 3, Rival 3 wired and wireless Gen 2! Once connected GG would ...
Me: wakes up
Me for the rest of the day: Quickset for Nova Pro Wireless when?
Quickset for nova 4,apex 7 when
Just got the nova elite and have one question. Does the game hub battery always stay charged or do I have to charge it along with the headset?
wdym?
"game hub" battery?
what does that mean? like the battery in the headset or game DAC?
There’s a battery in the little hub too as well as one in the headset. Is the one in the hub always charged?
yes, its charging in there
Oh ok I wasn’t sure if it always charges since it’s connected to a console or if I had to charge it. I guess the word swappable threw me off
swappable = you can use the headset till battery in it dies and swap with the one in the game dac which will have 100% in there
so that its theoretically unlimited power
what i do i swap in the morning with the one in the base and mine last over 12h
Sweet! This is my 1st headset with dac/ hub as I call it. Still getting used to it. I noticed that there are 3 usbc ports and I’m going to connect my series X and ps5 to it. Does my Xbox have to be plugged into the one that’s actually labeled Xbox or can I use any of the ports? It says console of pc in the guide but I was just wondering.
No quick set for arctis gamebuds?
I have those earbuds too but I didn’t see any quickset though.
No support yet I read
Thanks for confirming. I thought my gg install was busted
Just out of curiosity, is it possible to purchase a separate DAC for the nova elite headset to pair with my 2nd Xbox? Probably only comes bundled but I was just wondering
You can buy a separate Nova Pro wireless transmitter, so you can if they start selling it. It would be annoying to re-pair every time you switch
It doesn’t have like a quick switch like the Xbox controller?
May I ask everyone, my quickset could switch configurations automatically when switching games two days ago, but it has to be switched manually since yesterday. Does anyone know why?
Seems that if the path an executable is installed into contains a version number, and it gets updated causing the path to change, it breaks app tracking in various apps like SSGG
hi
hello I was able to use Sonar fine yesterday but today I'm getting this message
anyone knows why?
got aerox 5 wireless, it's pretty good for first inspection i'd say
why is my keyboard stuck inn one mode
cause it's THE mode🤣
Any idea why updates are failing?
no clue but you could try downloading the latest version from their site and update through it
dont uninstall tho, otherwise youll lose your settings
I could, but I would prefer to fix automatic updates feature instead if at all possible
Do you have a vpn or anything that affects network traffic installed?
Nope, that's a thing
If it's not a common issue and no one knows what to look for I might just give up on it
not willing to waste too much time on it
Yeah seems easier to update manually
Cant even get this app to start. and it says in the errorlogs that dbconf.yml is missing -.-
Worst piece of S i ever delt with
Are you just here to vent or? 😄
Yeah well, appearently theres not much to do about it so yes i am.
I mean you could try installing GG again or doing a full reinstall
ive done all that i can find on the internet and nothing works. RE-install (with deleting all files after uninstall ofc in Program Files and Programdata)
mine works fine thanks god

🇷🇺 Hi! I'm a user from Russia and I'm experiencing a persistent issue:
SteelSeries GG launches but only shows a black screen. Processes (GG, Engine, Prism) run in the background, but the UI never renders.
What I’ve tried (no effect):
- Run as Administrator
- Full reinstall (removed ProgramData / AppData / LocalAppData)

- Disabled VPN, antivirus, and overlays (Discord / NVIDIA / Xbox / Afterburner)
- Reinstalled Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime (latest Evergreen)

- Can I enable a diagnostic/safe-mode logging before the UI renderer initializes?
so I just bought the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 headset and I'm having an issue.
At first, the mic had insane sensitivity that was picking up noise from across the house and my sound settings had zero effect on the mic. I realized there was an app I needed to install on my computer and that fixed it. However, that was a few days ago and I haven't been in voice chat since.
Tonight, I rejoined voice and turned my mic on, and it's doing the same thing. I'm hearing everything going on in the house. I haven't adjusted any of the settings in the app, I haven't done anything that would change anything, and now trying to figure out these settings and figure out how to fix it is doing nothing.
Can someone please help me, because this is driving me insane and making me regret buying htis headset big time
I'm using the mic preset "Balanced". I've tried both the clearcast AI noise cancellation and the regular noise reduction settings, nothing is helping.
Muting the headset in the app isn't even doing anything either.
Never mind, I found a mic sidetone setting that was turned way up for some reason and turned it down and it's behaving properly now I guess lol
i have a question why is it that sonar and moment both take so long to load up on my pc, is it i have it setup wrong or ?
Hello everyone! Just've set up my new Arctis nova 7 gen 2 and I have a question.
Is there any way to setup a fallback sound device without using Sonar (I can not use Sonar because it makes my keyboards mutlimedia buttons ignored)? Or somehow make the headphones device disabled as soon as I turn off them, to make OS take care of switching between devices.
How it works with Airpods for example, the sound switches to them as soon as you take them out of the case and switches back to my loudspeakers as soon as I put the pods to the case. Pretty handful.
Hello, I bought the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, it worked perfectly for two months, and now the headset isn't detecting any sound. I don't understand; it makes a sound when I turn it on and off. I don't know what to do; I've tried lots of things. I can no longer see the battery level indicator on the base.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
Dang, it’s finally here and then the dudes left us 🥲

Hi guys, my fiancee and i are both using the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Headset. We're sitting next to eachother and are dealing with the problem that sometimes you can only hear me, even when she is speaking. And vice versa. We tried the ai Noise cancelling and even tried a few other settings. Has anyone an idea or a config that would help us? Best regards.

Search reddit
How do you release a 100.00 version of your application and make no major feature improvements. Not fix any of the insane bugs that your software has and let them persist months and months after they have been reported. Your company is something else and this is why I sit in your reddit forms telling people not to buy your terrible products and to return them if they still can.
1: FIX the screen flicker problem that has persisted now for actual months. it is insane to me that every other application works perfectly fine without flickering and turning into a strobe light on my display. Somehow yours is the only one and It's not your devs fault my pasty white behind. Fix it its annoying as S*** and the 99% reason i keep this janky software off of my system. It is unbareable just like your support staff.
2: Fix your sonar application that doesn't obey headphone priority rules 100% of the time, Reduce your applications impact on startup there is no reason that it uses as much cpu time as it does to boot this terrible application.
3: just get rid of the giveaways you never do them and its literally just a scam where you keep in on there to try and keep people convinced to keep the app installed on the chance they will get free games so you can continue top harvest every one of your CUSTOMERS DATA. (Did you forget that we all actually paid you REAL MONEY for your "HARDWARE" AKA JANKWARE).
4: stop trying to record my screen BY DEFAULT when the application is installed. It feels so yucky and disgusting and makes me want to vomit everytime I put this god awful app back on my PC to install firmware or change my lighting what have you.
5: What ever happened to the system temp sensors I was supposed to be able to map to my OLED display. That i was promised was a feature of this keyboard. That you blatently advertised online and on the box and then I install the keyboard and what would ya know. You removed the feature. Why because you were using winring0 driver like everyone else because you were too cheap to have your own driver signed. Get with the program, the entirety of windows open source developers have moved to Pawn.io which wont give your drooling users a windows defender notification. Implement the feature I paid for. I am still extremely mad about this and literally thinking about it right now I am actively getting angry with your company again and may just spend my entire friday in your reddit sub convincing people to throw your products in the garbage, or better yet not buy in the first place, or even better than that, return theom from where they came. as its an all day thing that your new customers are in that reddit thread asking questions about your products from the community because you have no idea how to support your own product stack. Your company is terrible your software is terrible. Your hardware is mediocre at best and i hope you go out of business for taking advantage of your customers the way that you do. I would NEVER recommend anybody that I care about buy any of this terrible integrated hardware software stick that you sell as I would feel like I was doing them a dis service. Im done now im going to go hangout in your social media forms for a few hours and let some of this steam off.
Hi, I accidentally hid the keyboard in the Steelseries GG app, how do I restore it?
anyone know how to stop the clipping software from picking up discord ? my clips keep getting ruined thanks to me being in vc's and people talking over it
Why there's no update for Arctis Nova Pro?
Hi all... How can you request a game to be added to the sonar pre-sets? I'm wanting a quality pre-set or any advice form anyone who has one already for Elite Dangerous 🙂
Hi, I'd like to know if quickset will ever be available without having one of the currently required devices?
Specifically I'm just interested in Sonar's profile switching based on which game I'm playing, even if that capability has to be a paid feature.
I'm not particularly interested in the devices that unlock quickset, but would still really like to use it for Sonar profile switching.
where are we to get support. all the support channels dont allow you to chat?
Read the reason it gives you :)

Hi, I installed the app that has free Discord Nitro and logged in to the app, but Nitro won't work. How can I get Nitro for free?

hello, im not exactly sure what channel to post this in but im having trouble with my DAC not charging my batteries, no icon is showing up displaying the battery is being charged, thanks for any help
#❓-casual-support probably but try charging the battery in the headset. Make a support ticket on the website as well #official-support
hello, why giveways are on when u cant use them ??
Specifically regarding QuickSet profiles as the feature came with my headset, so this is about audio and not keyboards:
I am able to create quickset profiles to change sonar settings for applications in the games channel on the mixer, but if I have applications set to the media channel, I am unable to link the media sonar settings to specific quickset profiles.
I would like to be able to use an audio profile so I have a hotkey to change between my music sonar EQ and my movie sonar EQ as they use the same application to play. I would also like to be able to switch to a completely raw profile on Game, Media, Aux, and Mic to see the differences quickly for making adjustments. I would be able to achieve this by running all my audio through the Game channel, but then I lose my audio separation.
Having the ability to link media sonar settings to the quickset profile in the same way that game sonar settings can be linked would solve this issue without forcing all audio sources to be on the same channel, but it doesn't appear to be supported by the software as far as I can tell; am I looking at this the wrong way or doing something wrong?
Does anyone have any presets for the SteelSeries Alias microphone? And how do I make it just pick up my voice instead of background noises?
@brittle depot Could you pass this on to any higher ups, there are Steelseries phishing emails. Not sure if its a leak on your side or if I've been sent this from a email list seperated from steelseries but thought you should know
What makes you think it's not legit? steelseries.gg is a legit domain for them
I also got it on an email address I only use with GG
So I'm pretty sure it's legit
The survey platform is also something they use
sorry then
All good, it's great to be vigilant

what do i do about this
i've used three different cords. they all work. my ports all work. so i dont get what the problem is. it even counts it as charging when plugged in. i used the wire that came with the package.

quickset is enabled for arctis buds now, but for some reason its not switch profiles when i load respective games
anyone else have this issue?
nvm now its working magically :/
Has there been any talk/plans of adding Quicksets for the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless?
"Future updates will expand access to more keyboards, mice, headsets and beyond."
Nothing specific as of now but it sounds like it's the plan eventually
Nova 3 Wireless, Nova 5 Wireless, and Gamebuds have received access
That's good to hear. Thanks!
You're welcome :)
What engine profile presets for the APEX PRO are coming next?
I’d love to see some ARPG presets, or one for BL4.
Or maybe some more general game presets like ARPG, General Shooter, etc.?
Another idea: a kind of "build-your-own" preset generator?
Or even a small example collection of properly dithered black & white GIFs/images for the OLED display?
Asking for a friend 😅
Btw: I’m absolutely happy with the APEX PRO (Gen 3).
Configuring it can just be a bit… tedious sometimes 😂
Insta-QuickSet for the inpatient: https://www.reddit.com/r/steelseries/comments/1qvqvjj/waiting_for_quickset/
when will it be possible to rearrange the profiles so we can put the most used once into the front and we dont have to press on the "+5" symbol to chose the profile because it was added the most recent
because if it was added very recent the chance is very high you will use it now very often....
geez GG is slower in programming than scum game developers....
Hello
I saw the quickset on the application but got a little disappointed that it only gives option to set the game preset on sonar for my use it would have been nice if it turns on the streamer mode automatically and switches the mic preset because I'm using sonar streamer mode currently to set my inputs and outputs for my VR inputs and outputs then switch my mic profile to the one I use on my VR headset.
My use for quickset would have been
Open Game > Quickset changes sonar to streamer mode (I have different inputs and outputs there) > Quickset changes mic preset.
hi everyone
hi i need help with GG softeware that my clips does not have any audio but when i export it the audio works
Can someone help me? I just want to set the Windows sound bar to lower all audio modes at the same time. When it freezes in gaming mode, I have to manually switch to the output device or media, since gaming takes precedence, and there's no way to organize the outputs through the software.
Can someone please save me? I can not figure out my Streaming Set Up for the life of me. It's been too many AI conversations, missed items, store runs, wild goose chases for products and multiple all-nighters. I will list my equipment below. My biggest headache right now, beyond the OBS inputs, is how to best capture audio. I'm confused about the function of the base for the Steel Series Arctis Headset.
Core PC
MacBook M4 Max — 3x TB4 ports, main streaming/recording machine
Lenovo Yoga 7 2025 — if needed, backup laptop/secondary encoder
Cooling
Laptop cooling fan — under MacBook for extended stream sessions
Small table fan — keeps airflow over gear/desk
Video Capture
Elgato 4K X — 4K60 HDR HDMI capture, VRR support
Audio Gear
SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless — headset + base station
SteelSeries Alias USB Microphone — USB condenser
Elgato Chat Link Pro — if needed, analog ground-loop isolator
Connectivity & Power
j5create JCA399 USB-C Hub — 1x HDMI 4K144, 1x USB-A 3.2 5Gbps, 1x USB-C PD 100W pass-through
Acer USB-C Adapter — if needed, 3x USB-A ports + Ethernet
Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter — charges MacBook through JCA399
240W USB-C cable — 96W brick to JCA399
j5create 2.5G Ethernet Adapter — USB-C to 2.5GbE for internet
Rocketfish 12-Outlet Strip — 1x USB-C, 1x USB-A, 4,680 Joules surge protection
Networking
Eero WiFi 7 — 2.5GbE WAN/LAN, mesh router system
TP-Link 2.5G 5-Port Switch — unmanaged 2.5GbE splitter
Gaming
PlayStation 5 — game source
Display
TCL 2025 85" TV — 4K display for gaming/monitoring
Cables
USB-C to USB-C — 4K X to MacBook
USB-C to USB-A — for Nova Pro or Alias [you need to choose one for JCA399]
HDMI 2.1 — PS5 to 4K X, 4K X passthrough to TCL
Ethernet CAT6/CAT6A — Modem → Eero → TP-Link switch → devices
I would suggest you use the audio monitoring feature in OBS to be able to listen to game sounds, alerts etc. Use a minijack cable from the headphone out of the Alias to the line in on your Nova Pro wireless for sidetone (unless you don't care about hearing yourself)
The main challenge would be getting mic sound into the PS5, if that's needed?

Anybody else who doesn't get the update? 🤨
GG still says that 108.1 is the newest version 🤷
Don't worry about it, we're just doing a slower rollout than usual on this update
It's the same for me; i'm still on 108.1 and it doesn't help to check for updates manually. Hence it's now not only one update but two that are not available to us: 109.0 and 109.1 ...
