I got the arctis pro wireless, and I cant get the chat mix to work. In sound settings, and playback it only shows up as one device, so it wont work for me.

Ok, but I tried to choose different defaul and comm device, but theres only one to choose from 😦
flint obsidian
Hmm try disabling all enhancements,making sure you have the latest version of the engine installed, making sure windows is updated.
regal tinsel
I think you cant be on hires or something
@hidden wolf never tried the mouse but kb and headset are solid
flint obsidian
Other than that the only thing I could suggest is to get a ticket with steelseries on their website. @maiden ridge
I guess there's also updating the bios for the motherboard of your PC but I think that's a longshot.
flint obsidian
Sound settings, select arctis pro wireless device, properties, disable enhancements
maiden ridge
All are disabled :S

@regal tinselIs rival 110 bad or not
flint obsidian
Have you gone in the engine at all to make sure it doesn't have any notifications for updates? Especially firmware updates for the headset
regal tinsel
@hidden wolf i honestly have no clue
@maiden ridge dont you have to be in PC mode instead of hires or something
flint obsidian
Otherwise I would say it probably would be device manager which you would have to work in to see if there is an issue there. If you don't know what you're doing with that I would strongly suggest just contacting support and filing a ticket
maiden ridge
Pc mode? where do I set that @regal tinsel
flint obsidian
I think it would be on the dock
maiden ridge
And where would I look for firmware updates?

Maybe i will buy rival 310 or 110

if you're considering the rival 110 you might as well look at the new Rival 3
it's the same price and better specs-wise
hidden wolf
how about rival 310
mellow nymph
it's still a perfectly good mouse as well
hidden wolf
sounds nice
keen pine
I have the 310 and love it to death. If you're looking for a solid, high quality mouse that just works i definitely recommend it @hidden wolf
Although if you're looking for something cheaper than the 310 I agree with JHunz you should probably go with the 3
stark rampart
The shape is a key point in selecting the right mouse and only you can know which is right for you
Best case is being able to try it before buying

What do i use as my audio out on my steelseries + game dac [wired]?
Speakers [GameDac] or Headset Earphone [2 - GameDac]

use Earphone for discord/chat, speakers for everything else

inner gust
Can anyone help me set up my steelseries artics pro + gamedac properly please?
grizzled stratus
@inner gust make sure you have SteelSeries Engine 3 and download/update the drivers
Once done then it's a matter of adjusting volumes
inner gust
I think i've done them both already,
grizzled stratus
if you don't know much about frequency adjustments just play as they are or just flick through the presets
I use the Smiley preset myself
if your stuff is updated then it's pretty much ready to go
you can use PrismSync to sync it with any other SS peripherals
and coordinate the RGB through the SSE
inner gust
I just want the sound quality to be the best and surround sound to work amazingly well
itspretty mediocre so far
which given how highly regarded it is, seems poor
thin stirrup
Have you played around with the audio settings in the pc?
flint obsidian
Note: you can either have surround sound or hi def audio.
Hi def takes up so much power that you can't have both. I personally find hi def way better than surround

Hello!! i have some newbie questions regarding my Arctis 7 headphones.. hope someone can help me with
- If I keep them pulged in my laptop all the time.. it will mess the battery life?
- How do you clean the ear cushions?
that's all thanks in advance!
regal tinsel
- probably? quickly and repeatedly switching between charging/not isn’t good for lithium batteries but it shouldnt take too big of a hit
- take em off
stray axle
@regal tinsel 1) when I unplug them i keep them unpluged till almost dead battery
2) how? and how can I clean them?
thanks for answering though 😄
regal tinsel
- basically no matter what your battery life will slowly degrade. they have protection against overcharging or discharging so you may as well use them how you want

Hey guys, i bought a rival 500 mouse 7 months ago in June 2019, worked like a charm. However, yesterday my mouse sensitivity was just randomly sent through the roof and clicking the CPI button at the top didn't work. On top of that, i uninstalled the engine and then reinstalled the same engine i had, and then uninstalled the driver. rebooted my computer, and then reinstalled the driver, and nothing changed. Even when i save buttons to certain keys, they work. The CPI button works because i bound the button to the letter 'A', and i was able to type in a into a search bar. but when i try to change the CPI by typing in the number or using the dial to make it to what I had before, it doesn't work. Can someone explain what is going on?
I submitted a ticket but the guy hasn't replied in like hours, so idk what to do.
@stark rampart can you explain at all? ;-;

Has anyone purchased a mouse recently? I see a promo for a free bungee and QcK Vector
flint obsidian
I bought the 600 a year ago and had a terrible experience with it. Since then I heard lots of horror stories regarding it from others too
delicate crystal
I legit have a 100 thats been going forever
I wanted to try the 500 since Ive been bugging for an MMO mouse
flint obsidian
It's what my brother termed the demon mouse.
delicate crystal
Im actually terrified that I might screw up the weight systems in the 600 so I wanna stay away from it lol
flint obsidian
"When plugged in, the Rival 600 causes my Windows computer to begin experiencing an issue where it doesn't respond to any applications other than the primary one. Any attempt to alt-tab results in clicks not responding etc. If I want to have it work in multiple applications at any given time, I have to close the primary application and hope the one I want to switch to is the new primary application.
For example, with a game open the mouse will stop responding entirely to other applications, and the game's mouse cursor will start glitching out instead of switching to a normal cursor as you would normally expect.
Another issue is that even Windows itself is detected as a secondary application to other applications that are already open.
This issue carries onto my Bluetooth Microsoft Sculpt Mouse I own after the Rival 600 is plugged in. The only way to reset this behavior I've found is to restart the entire computer."

Those cost a lot
stray axle
not if you buy it at the right time
steelseries keyboards cost a lot outside of the states as well
their boards are a meme

because of the cost and the sub-par switches compared to Alps customs.

again, for the money you can get a Ducky with some nice PBTs
steelseries are a joke
buy their pads not keyboards.

And can you make a list of criticisms for their keyboards?
stark rampart
So you used it for 30 seconds?
stark rampart
I don't know what specific store you used it at, but some stores do not maintain their keyboards at all
But I mean you can dislike the keyboards all you want :)
stray axle
i used the keyboards on different occasions
fervent igloo
Bring me a list of your criticisms about the steelseries keyboards, and maybe then we can have an actual discussion.
stray axle
i doubt it's the condition.
sure
you can go to the mechanicalkeyboards site and find one with those Alps
there are some apple based keyboards that use those as well IIRC or some other stuff that is not on top of my head
all sell for well below steelseries with arguably better switches.
fervent igloo
and compared to other MX switch keyboards?
stray axle
you probably know you can get far with something of the quickfire ultimate caliber
but cherry blue is kind of loud and feedback is not quite the topre
of course this is all my opinion
fervent igloo
You sound blissfully unaware of actual keyboard stuff
stray axle
do i?
fervent igloo
Yes, you do
stray axle
explain then.
fervent igloo
Ok, Cherry blues use a click jacket, they're clicky and have tactile feedback
topre however
stray axle
i use topre
fervent igloo
are electro-capacitive
stray axle
i have been using topre for the last 5-10 years.
fervent igloo
and have more tactile feedback
fervent igloo
No, i'm still using membrane
fervent igloo
Tactile =/= clicky
fervent igloo
You're not great at articulating what you want to say about keyboards
stray axle
because it is morning?
i mean you have a membrane and you never used a topre in your life
fervent igloo
so i'll just put this down as you're just crapping on steelseries keyboards for the sake of it
fervent igloo
I have knowledge about Topre
stray axle
i clicked their switches "only".

I would argue that a lot about keyboards comes down to preference

Yep

but steelseries switches feel horrible to me
stark rampart
I don't work for SteelSeries but saying SteelSeries keyboards are a joke is a bit silly imo
stray axle
they can't manage to re-applicate blue / greens properly
yet their keyboards cost a fortune
stark rampart
I disagree
stray axle
i don't know why you're disagreeing, did you use the boards?
stark rampart
The one you linked earlier. Where's the wristwrest? Backlighting? USB passthrough? Dedicated media buttons?
stray axle
again, i'm talking as far as "blue / greens" are concerned and not the others.
stark rampart
There's more to keyboards than switches
fervent igloo
so you're focusing on one number out of 100
fervent igloo
Which is why your criticisms and articulation is utter crap
rare wolf

stray axle
there are good steelseries products

utter crap yeah OK, let's completely discount the fact of the keyboard feeling bad compared to the other options at the same price and then focus on "media buttons".
i mean it might be fine as a red or black replacement, but it's no proper blue replacement.
stray axle
when are where is the question.
you can't buy realforce right now as it is all out of stock.

"the fact of the keyboard feeling bad" pretty sure thats entirely subjective.

woah i can agree with you on that

Topre is more expensive than steelseries, so lets move on to comparing a 2001 honda civic to a lambo

first of all why are you talking in pounds?

Well why are you using liras if the keyboards are from japan???????

except united states market and japanese are the most available
with the latter being the utmost.
i'm not using liras
i would if the board was available on sahibinden
fervent igloo
Ok this has gotten to the point where it's just you spouting crap, so cya
knotty zephyr
@stray axle It has come to my attention that when you said the pound was a currency nobody used or cared about as most imports come from other countries, you did not suggest a different currency. May I suggest swapping to Chinese Yuan as China is a large exporter? Regards, Phantazm.

my point stands - most topres exist in united states or better yet, japan.
and then korea some.
i know this before i look for some to buy for myself.
you seemingly do not.
fervent igloo
I know where most topre boards come from, but there's stock in the UK
stray axle
yes there is
leftover stock
you get some and then it goes OOS and you can't buy anymore
amazon works like that in the UK as far as topre boards are concerned.
and the prices are probably insane anyway.
it is more or less same for U.S but the boards cost much less
and i'll tell you a lot more people buy them from U.S
fervent igloo
Or i could just buy second hand from MechMarket
stray axle
second hand is not an option for everybody
stark rampart
Correct me if I'm wrong, but to me it seems like you're here to just talk about how terrible SteelSeries keyboards are and occasionally mention that you like the pads. Is that correct @stray axle?
stray axle
i do not want somebody's dirty keyboard.
no i am not
it was the topic so i wanted to give out my own opinion.
stark rampart
that's all you've been doing so far
stray axle
well the topic is topre boards
stark rampart
and whenever someone disagrees with you, you just dismiss it
stray axle
and it is general.
i am dismissing it because i know that the majority of topre boards exist in the united states
people don't buy from japan because they use the japanese layout.
stark rampart
Well I for one am not in the US
stray axle
doesn't change the matter of fact
stark rampart
And SteelSeries is not even a US brand
fervent igloo
Oh, what's the Japanese layout called? ANSI is american, ISO is european, and what do the japanese use?
stray axle
you will be importing it.
fervent igloo
Lets see if you're knowledgeable
stray axle
steelseries sells literally everywhere
stark rampart
I won't be importing anything
stray axle
it's called UDK
fervent igloo
JIS
stray axle
seemingly i know more than you do.
UDK
for topre
you have the buttons like KANA and stuff
E / J to switch back and forth, seemingly i own it and you do not.
and if you're not importing it, you're left to other choices anyway
fervent igloo
buy off of mechmarket
fervent igloo
Their loss
stray axle
you can just buy a leopold with topre for much less.
not really.
i mean a fully packed steelseries board costs like 1500 TL here
or maybe even more
i think i'm importing a leopold with topre for $200 to start off with.
rare wolf
Im quite interested in the Wooting two lekker keyboard, i could then just move my apex pro to the office. Sad that its a limited availabilty product
earnest forumBOT
JD#3973 has been warned
stray axle
"Wooting two Lekker Edition - full-size analog keyboard
PRE ORDER €199,99"
looks like a high profile topre
"unrivaled analog input features and optimized input latency"
i'm not sure i'm in for this much wooting on a switch that isn't known
might as well wanna take the jap professor route and get a topre based board
do you want hi-pro?
rare wolf
I dont need to constantly cry about price, if it interests me i just buy it. The only reason im interested in it is the different keybinds depending on how far your press the key
stray axle
that seems like it's gonna be some wooting blues in the morning or late at night
doesn't seem convenient to me at least
also do you want hi-profile keys because it seems to have high actuation position
not everybody's thing
rare wolf
You can adjust the actuation position
stray axle
yeah but you can not literally change the physical thing
the board itself is a hi-pro
from what it looks like.
and yeah they likely did it for that trick
i'd say you probably would have better luck with a leopold over that board, and i don't mean this just because i prefer topre.
finding all white topre boards is kinda hard these days tho
especially from leopold.
rare wolf
seems like the actuation distace for the topre keys is quite far, i much prefer a shorter distance
stray axle
the actuation distance in topres are in coordination with the keycap weight
the R2 is based on the realforce RGB which feels awful for a lot and me
if you're looking for a topre, with fast actuation, i'd highly recommend one with variable 35, 45g etc keys, one of the older boards
rather than the all 55g ones or something.
i don't remember very many leopold boards with white layout btw, topre's own are there though.. if you can find one in stock right now.
rare wolf
seems like the shortest distance they have is 1.5mm
stray axle
you get used to it after couple days
shame they don't make U.S layout in all 30g.
because all 30g makes things much easier (i have my keycaps swapped)
if you want white board though it becomes harder to find at cheaper prices (no leopold pretty much) anyways.
rare wolf
Or i could just buy a short distance actuation keyboard like i already own, not to mention you keep reccomending these topre switches but the reason i like the look of the wootin keyboard is it's different binds depending on how far the key is pressed.
stray axle
you know swiftpoint Z does that too 😄
deep click
which i never bothered to use..
well i did use it for couple times actually
rare wolf
A mouse?
rare wolf
let me quickly replace my keyboard with a mouse
stray axle
the buttons on the back of the left right click can be deep clicked from factory
so you deep click those and then browser opens
and some other stuff
it's a pretty functional mouse actually
shame the weight and the build quality are not up to the functionality.
there is this "gyro" mode exactly for replacing your keyboard, it's for flying games
the mouse basically acts as a joystick 😄
you keep it in mid air or some other stuff i can't remember.. i'm not using it anymore lol.
there is a bunch of stuff about gaming and nowhere the keycap weight is mentioned. sounds like hogwash to me.
raven forge
Is SteelSeries ever going to make desktop speakers?
golden obsidian
well that would be cool
raven forge
Yeah, i'd impulse buy them if they ever came out
I have the arctis 3, but i don't want to wear them when i'm not gaming
golden obsidian
i wont because i blew through my money with my arctis 3 and rival 310
raven forge
I have the same stuff too, but my rival is the howl version
golden obsidian
oh
stray axle
desktop speakers like what?
if you're talking about Creative kind of stuff, you're simply much better off with a pair of yamaha HS5 or adams or similar
i don't see why the speakers have to say Steelseries on, i mean i have steelseries gear, some mice, steelseries bag.. they make mouse primarily after all.
and i do like some of my steelseries stuff contrary to what some people here might think.
edifier is not bad at all either.
stray axle
"Apex Pro | SteelSeriessteelseries.com › gaming-keyboards › apex-pro
$199.99 - In stock"
look price then lol
rare wolf
Look price then lol what?
stray axle
at the quality
somebody mentioned that the boards are not japan
the company might not be jap, but literally they make everything in china with sub-par quality to anything leopold
and the leopolds go for similar prices
so you're basically for lights and stuff. real smart ain't?
i mean re-mapping exists
you can say you don't like topre actuation, but there are tons of other keyboards with non-adjustable, faster actuation.
rare wolf
Wanna give them examples?
stray axle
and most of those boards sell for well under $150
sure, look at literally anything cooler master.
you get most the gaming / useful stuff with them
maybe not all apex has, but if you want cherry, they're legit decent.
you could go out of that way and get a ducky or something too, or maybe even DAS for that money.
rare wolf
CM switches have a larger actuation distance
stray axle
CM doesn't make their own switches in the keyboards i'm talking about
they use cherry blues and stuff
rare wolf
Yeah their cherry mx red low profiles that they use have a larger actuation distance
stray axle
but i'm not on about those
rare wolf
give me actual examples
stray axle
cherry blue is arguably one of the fastest / easiest clicking switch out there
you won't find anything easier to actuate on pretty much
other than speed
rare wolf
Actuation Distance: 2 mm
stray axle
it's extremely easy to spam micro / macro on blue
doesn't matter because the keycaps are extremely light
rare wolf
Lets keep rolling out those examples with an actuation distance shorter than 0.4mm
stray axle
unless you're a little girl, you can spam the heck out of a quickfire.
you know..
the steelseries board doesn't have as light-going switches as blue
blues are easy as heck to do counter-strike tricks on
if you WANT to press stuff consistently, like for RPG games, blues are perfectly fine.
rare wolf
yeah..... Pressing a cherry mx blue 3x the distance of an omnipoint it totally faster mate.
stray axle
are we really discussing this i mean i have used quickfires for decent periods
i know what it is like.. it's almost feather-weight keycap.
the thing uses some plastic keycaps that are light as heck.
i wouldn't be surprised to find those keycaps to be 30g or maybe even less.
rare wolf
As opposed to the Lead keys SS uses?
stray axle
IDK what that uses, but i do know that the keycaps are light and the actuation goes real fast
just the noise and the feedback aren't up to topre level.
rare wolf
Cherry MX actuation force is apparently just as high as omnipoint switches
stray axle
yes but you're completely dismissing the fact that the quickfire XT keycaps are overly light
you can have the longest actuation on earth, stick some 20g keycaps there and it will be easy.
rare wolf
A lightweight key doesnt mean anything if the switch behind it is what is providing the resistance
rare wolf
Yes, ive used Red blue brown and black. Not green
stray axle
then you probably know how easy-going blues are
open parcel
is it possible to hack razer products so that i can use the steelseries enginge?
stray axle
don't bother
razer's software is trash yes
synapse is still crap
steelseries engine great.
stray axle
that will be even more "not possible"
rare wolf
I know how easier going omnipoint is than cherry blue
stray axle
well then looks like you have to use it direct.
but how does it feel?
that is the question
stray axle
if it's not tactile / clicky like i personally want it to be.. then i wouldn't bother
rare wolf
Good, because i only have to brush them to get an input out of it
open parcel
returned the keyboard the same day
open parcel
that's why im still using a razer keyboard
stray axle
what do you mean by "brushing" marine?
stray axle
which one is it?
open parcel
Razer huntsman elite
stray axle
oh it's that opto-mech stuff, optical switches they use in mice / KB
open parcel
yep
rare wolf
As in my finger only needs to hit the key rather than actually try to press down on it
stray axle
that's probably not bad as far as feel goes
stray axle
but the software and the build quality is likely questionable
i bottom out my topre and i'm fine with that 🙂
open parcel
i haven't even gotten to try the software, but the build qualety is good
stray axle
yeah well it's an overpriced razer after all
open parcel
that's correct
stray axle
even if it does feel great.. it's no insert boutique keyboard here
open parcel
lol
stray axle
mechanicalkeyboards seems to carry some good stuff
open parcel
i will never in my life switch to linear again
i was able to write 5 words or so before i just coulden't
stray axle
you need leopold with all jap keys xD
would prolly be great
i like how their profile looks.
open parcel
but back to my question, is it possible to hack it so that i can use one of the most amazing softwares
open parcel
oops
stray axle
the keyboard should have an in-built ROM
open parcel
...
stray axle
you should be able to virtual machine a windows while you're on MAC
it's easy
just open a VM page of windows, do it from there if you can
open parcel
whats VM?
stray axle
virtual machine
stray axle
there are probably programs to do that on mac
for example, if you're rocking win 10, you can VM win 98 in it for keks
there is a program that lets you open a page of win 98
i know people do such things on macs
to make their stuff work, it could actually work or it might not
go to BIOS and make sure virtualization is on, then install the software and move from there.

Just wanted to say that i recently had my Arctis 7's mic stop working and i opened a ticket. Even though the serial sticker on my headset had fallen off, and i was only able to provide the serial no. pic from the packaging, i still got it replaced.
Just wanna give some credit where credit is due, amazing costumer service experience and i now got my replacement Arctis 7, and i can finally use VC again 😄

Thinking of getting a wireless one, but Steelseries keeps teasing us with that stupid Flashdrive Card, don't want something new to come out right after I purchased. lol

Hello
stray axle
i use a Skoll and until Steelseries develops a perforated grill mouse, i'm not ditching it for anything SS
i have used rivals for couple years but the leather texture picks up dirt and sweat like there is no other day
technically rival used to be great mouse save for the rubber on sides getting worn out after a year or so of usage
but that is so 2014
as far as headsets are concerned, i go by plantronics when it comes to gaming headsets.. and corsair virtuoso is, according to TPU's sound tests, like THE best microphone gaming headset. it's pretty expensive tho.
or just be not lazy, get an interface with an actual mic like an audio technica elite series
buy proper handheld upright mic stand while at it, would be useful for karaoke and whatnot.

@gaunt tapir Rival 600. Apart from the side grips issue, best mouse I ever used... Went from lowly Gold Nova 3 to Legendary Eagle in CSGO
stray axle
Hi,
#I got steelseries Arctis pro wireless ,
When I insert empty battery in charging slot, sometimes it shows it’s full ( even though battery is empty)
I have to remove & insert multiple times to get it to display empty battery.
Anyone else having this issue ?
Pls tag me if you reply to my post so I can get notification. Thanks
stray axle
rival 600 lolw
how about no? it's somewhat heavy and expensive
wait for model D.
if you want good palm grip
if you have mid to big sized hands, you could alternatively just get a Skoll
model O would work too
fallen apex
I already have a rival 600 I think it isn’t heavy and I am 13 years old so and I think this is the best mouse I ever had
fervent igloo
@stray axle yea you're just here to crap on steelseries, not worth listening to anything you say in regards to peripherals
stray axle
well that's OK, i'll leave you to mice with forms of silicone that pick up on dirt after 5 minutes of usage
when even a perforated grill mouse holds its structural integrity better lol
i'm not saying it is horrible though
i'll leave you the conclusion, i have a 700 and old rivals.
the new rubber is nowhere as bad as the old stuff (it lasts much longer) but i'm taking a Skoll thank you.

you could just get a desk case

all that is gonna cost big money though

@stray axle The Apex 7 has cherry mx switches (red/blue/brown) where as the Apex 5 has clicky mecha-membranes
stray axle
meaning you want the 7 if you can

Ahhhh might be alright then

the stuff i'm talking about is MADE by cherry
the boards that are created for point of sale machines
basic keyboards
but with legit cherry stuff on em
i ordered one and then cancelled. it was going to be my very first mech.

I mean, the Apex 3 is membrane but at least they are decent domes

yeah but like you can pretty much almost get either mech or half-height mech for that money

if money is so much of a limitation then such examples on ebay are everywhere.

yeah that's what i used to do back when i imported stuff

unless it is something very important.

I got a Apex 750M and Rival 310 for like £80 about 2 years ago

Yeah important from other countries rarely ends cheaper xD

i don't bet that a lot of stuff can get stuck in customs

there is not a single topre in stock down U.S right now.

so if you want topre, you're basically ordering it from some asian country

maybe britain amazon IDK
or germany amazon.. back and forth.
