EPBT make good high quality options
lets not just type random letters thanks
It's beautiful
More random letters?
hey next person to do it gets a free ban
Do what?
spam random letters
Heyhoy
Hey
hey
Hi
apex 60% in the future?
Arctis 60%
Brilliant
is this just one of those fast food headsets?
but more g a m e r ?
which one? @ me in #archive-user-support
1 percent keyboardπ³
What's the general turnaround time for a support ticket?
I've literally been without a headset for a week whole waiting on them to reply
i got the arctis wireless 7p headset for my ps5!!
congrats
Got a question, the GameDAC has a peel ? cause i'm recieveing it today 
my arctis 5 is coming tomorrow
nyas

is the new prime mouse any good?im thinking about buying but i feel like its too early
Reason: Posted a link
alright so my package just got moved even closer to my house
even tho the estimated date is 7 june its unlikely that it will come by then
im guessing today
When
Is
Steel series going to make a bluetooth 5.0 headset for next gen xbox with simultaneous connection
Because i neeeeeeeed iiiiiiiit
The arctis 9x aint doing it for me
If they dont make em soon i may get the 9x but maybe im just impatient
cool
like the headset
congrats
wich one u got
arctis prro
yeah
thats nice
thats the whole point of it
does anybody know if arctis prime supports equaliser
i would say a tiny tiny bit less tight would have been better
i think u can adjust it
π
no im just really dumb
yea
the icon with the headset
i looked at it quickly
i thought it was the chatdial
xd
so does anybody know?
Pretty sure it has the same settings as the Arctis Pro without the gamedac
i was thinking that too
I am pretty sure any software-based EQ can work with it
if you have a hardware EQ you can use the speakers' output I guess
be careful though cause gamedac has EQ as well so dont make any "bad" signal for your ears xD
Very helpful. A lot of people are sleeping now, you'll have to be patient.
you can always chat with EUs that are not taking a nap xD
Well it is day in most of europe
@minor flax did you sort out the EQ thing ?
Not really
@jade tartan my rival 5 just came in yeet
the rgb is so bright on my phone camera lol
Apex pro is hot swappable yes or no?
No, it isn't.
why are there so many SS haters on /r/mousereview?
SS has been releasing banger after banger after banger lately
Engine not responding with brightness on my R5 xD
if it works with your R5 then I am unlucky π
MouseReview is just a club of Logitech lovers and FinalMouse wannabes...
You can give them gold...they're going to say that they prefer silver just because of the Logitech logo...
hmmm Im using Engine 3, not the new GG software or whatev its called
brightness is working from me, from off to max and everything in between
also the rgb speed can be insane lol
seizure inducing
on the lowest setting
definitelly the pretties rgb I've seen on a mouse htough
now to see if I'll keep this over my KPA or not π€
@tender jewel how are you liking your R5?
Weird..the paddle button on the side, the macros I assigned to it work without Engine running, but for the 2 side buttons under it, they are not saved if the software is closed π₯΄
shit
i hate google finances
if it hadnt lagged i wouldve been out of blackberry with $230 profit instead of $100
No
Hey, do you have a link for the Engine software as that is what I used on my last laptop and my Siberia 650 headset functioned perfectly. But I've bought a new laptop and anything SteelSeries now automatically installs the pretty useless GG software which has broken the 7.1 surround sound from working.
Yeah, thanks callum_w, I'm slowly but surely making my way there. Just checking out the other topics in case I find something of help π
engine can still be downloaded from here https://steelseries.com/engine
Download the SteelSeries Engine 3 software for the best gaming experience on Windows and Mac.
Hi
steelseries: releases pride plates and donates 100% knowing their fanbase is full of homophobic teenage boys
Dream: releases $30 tshirt and donates a mere 10% knowing that his parasocial stans will give him the pass on being a rainbow capitalist
hmmmm
No, that is not the original engine software. That is simply a link to the new GG software which is really just unnecessary bloatware. Thanks for trying though.
It is a download for the Engine
You just have to scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the Engine 3 download.
Yesss, sorry, you are correct. I should have checked the whole page. I'm hoping this is the "missing link" that will get my 7.1 surround working. Thanks for your replies dude, much appreciated.
I don't think that the Rival 5 has on-board memory. It needs the software to cycle profiles.
For the Rival 5, these features require Engine to be running in order to function:
-
All button mappings EXCEPT keyboard and mouse button functions -
Angle snapping -
Accel/Decel -
Lighting EXCEPT disabled lighting, reactive lighting, and device brightness
Changes made to these features should be saved to the mouse, even when Engine is quit or uninstalled
-
Keyboard and mouse button function mappings -
CPI -
Polling rate -
Disabled lighting -
Reactive lighting -
Lighting brightness
forgot to not ping you, so sorry if that did lol
Yeah, macros work through Engine
Anyone else having issues with steelseries website
What issues? It's going fine for me (I'm in UK)
Um 404 error after clicking on headsets
Let me double check
maybe a pride plate restock planned for noon π
@umbral token it works fine for me. Try deleting your browser cache, it might be a caching error.
Oh, so it might be a link error in the website.
@viral dew maybe something for the staff to check out?
It works from the homepage for me as well though...
I'm in the us might be a different server
I'm having no issues with it either, but I can bring it up to our digital team
Ok
@viral dew hey man, just wondering. Is it recommended to use the newer SS GG software with the Rival 5 over Engine 3? Im using Engine 3, but wondering if there is any added functionality / optimization in the newer one
I think that the Engine section of GG is just the same as the standalone Engine software, but I might be wrong.
now just waiting for my Prime to come π will be interesting to compare the Prime, R5 and KPA alltogether
apex pro 7 is hot swappable?
none of our keyboards are hotswappable
Can I still use swap the switches?
if you want to void your warranty
Something is moving around in my right speaker
can you use arctis 9 with wire?
Yeah
Hello
π
Decided to buy the prime+ mouse after seeing 3kliksphilip's sponsored video :P
my Rival110 served me well, but sadly the scroll wheel broke :(
is it good though
idk it arrives in 3 days
It burns...
?
my keyboard doesnt even have rgb lmao
I burned my finger 1 hour ago with hot glue and it still burns, horibly
haha
how is steelseries arctis prime same in sound if they dont come with dac etc?
cuz they have the drivers?
then what point is of the small dac wheel?
No, i wrapped it
cool?
what exactly are u talking about
the game dac?
yea
been working so couldnt respond at that time π
I had the corsair M65 FPS PRO RGB (slightly gaming/ mostly pic editing)
TBH I am a bit tiny so R5 is slightly bigger for my proportions π
It feels better though cause the corsair was a mouse w/o an "ass" and this one is once again a regular mouse π
- I love the RGB ( a bit bright but I guess it should be a windows glitch with so many programms running xD )
- feels very good in hand and got used to it in a week or less
- clicking sound is not annoying, scoll-click is almost silent and very soft
- wanna see if those dustproof switches can be trusted after I use it on exterior places and other events.
--> I highly recommend it β€οΈ
well then its useless for me ig, might get those primes seems nice
yeah im thinking about them too
but gotta hear them, im kinda skeptical about sound
i would be surprised if u find where to try them
aint in stock
really?
nice nice
havent came to here still i think
Im testing it out now, liking some things, not liking other things
overall its solid
fromthe website
its in stock
im on the page now
not buying it from website
I just keep staring at the rgb lmao
why not
I want to kind of keep the mouse just for the cool looks alone lol, but I feel I will like the Prime more
sending from US to eu is high paying for delivery especially when uhave 21% vat
i rather wait when they are in stock at shop
shippings free for orders above 49.99
even eu?
yeah i had free shipping
yeah
oh
im literally in the country that is the mid of europe
xd
me too
i think its jsut time to chance arctis 5, they be louder on left than right
u can balance them out
where you from D0m (I think I know hehe)
lithuania
no its bc of that dumb chat mix wheel or how its called
latvia π
it is
or not center at least
@opaque isle the good thing when sb owns a HiFi-sound quality dac is that it can route 40KHz audio source to other speakers/headsets as well via its speaker output.
Many audiophiles have speakers that can respond to 40KHz.
IMO that gamedac with the PRO version can be very useful to listen to high quality audio from speakers and other headphones (capable of it) and not stick only to music/gaming with arctis pro.
not an audiophile tho
ok looked it up
one does not simply say he is not an audiophile β€οΈ
there are apparently several claimants for the geographical midpoint of Europe, including my country and yours
lmao
yeah
literally i wont hate on game dac if it wasnt using micro usb
im in Slovakia
I dont like that port either
I prefer it to coaxial or optical though
its already time to change to type -c
or those
but example i have arctis 5 it came with that chat mix small wheel and my microusb is moving left and right in port so my audio travels from left to right etc xD
my brother has the arctis 5 π
I can never hear him ig cause mic is too low xD
i want to buy apex pro tkl but scared that new keyboard will come up π€
is there any chance he messed up with the wheel settings ?
idk i dont expect keyboards from steelseries tbh
wheel settings?
does someone have prime+ mouse? i pre ordered it and its been 1 week. no stocks here yet
I dont know ..he is miles away ..I will tell him to check them π
probably either discord or where u talk mic is turned down or steelseries software settings are changed
put i would still assume primes would require messing around in equalizer to make em good
messing around with EQ and saying not to be an audiophile π
π
fr im not audiophile but i can make equalizer perfect for myself, example now i cant go to default audio bc its literally is nonbassy and sounds like can
Great
my steel series gg clipping system is not clipping when i press the button does anyone else have this problem
Is anyone elseβs keyboard palm rest have a wonky printed logo?
A few people do
Yeah I mean if I paid almost 200 for a keyboard and they cant even print the logo in straight
Thatβs a shame
And the support guy said itβs meant to be like that apparently despite every photo online of the product has a parallel alignment
Ffs
I doubt it's meant to be like that, but could still be 'within spec'
Unfortunate, I'd say contact support but you've already done that. Can you get a replacement?
Doubt it since i think the guyβs gonna stick with the lie that βitβs not a bug but a featureβ
Ouch, sorry about that
Sucks
I mean if it was a 20 dollar keyboard youβd just have to put up with it
But on a 180 dollar keyboard
You have the right to get picky like that
Bruh i am BRITISH
Great
Why say that
hey
we don't tolerate discrimination against any region
i don't care if you've had bad experiences with individuals from any group, whether it's ethnic, religious, geographic, whatever
do not lump everybody together
anyone having issues trying to open Steelseries GG?
No
nah
No issues here.
When you've been waiting to redeem your code for a replacement Arctis Pro Wireless headset for a month now
but they still haven't replenished them
i need help with my headset (artics 7) I can't listen anything and the videos won't play D:
Every time I activate the configuration that is disabled right now the videos stop playing and I can't listen either, actually I have to disable them because otherwise I can't do anything
Did you check steelseries gg and see if your headset needed an update?
can you wash the qck prism?
When ever I turn my headset on it stays on and than randomly turns of after a couple of seconds, does anyone know how to fix this? Please help
helloo
ty, needed this lol
hello, I have a question. I still own a really old steelseries keyboard, which is not being sold anymore anywhere. Is there a way to check the price?
cause IΒ΄m really lost at the moment.
Not that I know of
hmm ok then. thx m8.
ayyy
but SS GG software is not assigning my macros correctly :/ never had the issue with the older Engine
Yes
You can use Engine with the Prime
Anyone know why this could be happening?
I just want to simply assign Ctrl + Tab to Button 5 and Ctrl + Shift + Tab to Button 4. Was able to do it with the Rival 5 yesterday. I had to reinstall GG software, now Im assigning those macros on my Prime, but its just doing Tab, now a Ctrl+Tab combo
humm ok
I'll try to install the older one
The min version for the Prime is listed in the software compatibility section of the product page. GG is being flaky for me as well!
Give me a min, Iβm not at my PC at the moment
@jade tartan nevermind found it!
its at the bottom of the page
buuut, its not finding the Prime in the old Engine
Try turning the mouse on and off or rebooting the computer.
It happens the first time you uninstall and reinstall different versions of the SS Engine.
turned the mouse on and off, restarted my PC, turned it on and off again, reinstalled SS Engine 3.20, logged in in the Engine as well, but its only finding my Apex keyboard, not my Prime
Ok...
I think I know what's happening...I use the engine from macOS, where it's still supported but from Windows GG is the only way.
ah
That's sad because I was planning reinstalling the normal Engine on Windows after work hours π¦
If you're having problems with macros maybe it's the case to ask support and in case raise a ticket. I had some software issues with the Stratus Duo when it came out and some issues with my Arctis 9X on Xbox Series X at launch. In both cases a precise feedback helped pushing a bug fix.
Specially on the Stratus Duo, I guess I was the only one using it on the Steam Link π
Yeah Ill put in a ticket
sucks
I dont know why almost all mouse softwares are so wonky
Do you believe me if I literally stopped using some features because of this?
I used to macro half of my keyboard...now I just do in-game macros when I need them and I learned basically almost every shortcut in Windows and macOS because of how inconsistent these software are...
I also don't like how much resources they pull. SS Engine is one of the cleanest out there, but Razer i. e. used to make Overwatch crash if you didn't turn off specific stuff...
after 7 years with a mouse, a keyboard and a specific headset I wanted to try something different, but I ended up coming back to Steelseries. I hope they do not start cracking software like some other companies do.
I remember that the passage from the OG Engine to Engine 2 was similarly problematic...I hope they will issue fixes to the problems GG has ASAP
lol
ok so Quick record isnt working
I press ctrl + tab, it shows ctrl + tab assigned to the button
but only does "tab" when i press the button
I tried manually recording the macro before, and now tried again and its working wtfff
rofl
Well, at least it's half a bad news π
I have had some bad experiences w certain software
picked up a G604 a while back when G Hub was relatively new
G Hub wouldnt even install and set up on my system
literally couldnt rebind anything because I couldnt launch the software
now G hub works and its great imo when it does, but yeah..
Ok, both side buttons are assigned and working now π
Placement of the side buttons is nice
And while they look tiny, they dont feel too small
hello
GG software
the arctis prime doesn't have engine support
hmm weird ok, then it should show up
hi
But i cant see it in all of my connectet speaker devices
I really don't like it...and Logitech software has never blown me away. Some of their hardware is really good though, so I never avoid considering the option.
Latest high-end products have too many defects for my taste though.
Arctis Prime are analog hadphones...they are not supposed to show in software...
What don't you like about it? It seems pretty straight forward and easy to use to me. Imo, Synapse is also fine. I haven't really observed how much impact on resources they have though. "Meh" ones would be Roccat Swarm for me (but it has some nice features like battery indicator in taskbar, you dont need it on all the time like SS to use macros, etc.), SS Engine is generally fine for me as well, just wish I could use macros and turn it off. iCue I dont really like at all. Havent used many other ones
I quite like the old LGS as well
The UI has this "old software look" with a fake sense of depth. From just a pure feeling point of view is way worse than the old Logitech software.
The other thing that I don't like it's inconsistency, one update could make you lose all of your profiles and it's not a thing you can control...it just happens randomically.
Roccat let's you save macros on the device because Roccat uses on board memory on almost everything. The reason why you need Engine running for macros is because the specific devices you use don't let you store macros. The Apex pro can save macros on board, so that one doesn't need the Engine/GG software to let you use macros.
Razer Synapse is just bad, interferes with games and breaks on its own randomically.
It also uses 13% of CPU on my laptop...I wanted to give another shot to Razer, their software literally removed the idea from my mind forever.
I had a DA 2013 a long while back, it just literally stopped randomly working on my machine one day. Like wouldnt turn on / boot up...Gave it to my dad and it has worked just fine ever since on his machine. Still no clue what happened there lol
Right now the only non-Steelseries mouse that I gladily use is the Glorious Model O Wireless. Their software is not amazing, but it's OK and the mouse has complete on-board memory, not just CIP profiles.
if it was Synapse or what
It could've been. Back in 2011 I bought the OG Sensei at launch and a Razer Black Widow (the first one ever made with Cherry MX Blue swithces)
Synapse was freezing/killing my mouse
I've been using a G305 for a while now (actually its exactly 3 years since I ordered it, today).
And now I've been testing various bigger ergos to find a new main
I ended up selling the Black Widow and buying a Steelseries 7G keyboard just to not have to use two softwares (and also because I discovered that I prefer linear switches to clicky ones and the 7G was one of the only few good options at the time.
I actually downgraded from a Blackwidow tournament / Coolermaster mech keyboard to a membrane SS kb (Apex 150). I wanted something linear and more quiet. But I think Ill go back to mech, just something quiet and linear
Sounds good. I used the OG Sensei from 2011 (at launch) 'til 2018. Then I wanted to try something new and I tried 6 mice in 3 months lol
I ended up using the Rival 600 and the Rival 650...but they were chunky boys...thankfully SteelSeries made again a Sensei in 2019 π
Yep I've been testing and abusing return policies lately hahaha.
Have been trying these ones in the past few weeks:
Rival 3 wireless
Rival 5
Corsair Sabre Pro
DA V2 Pro
G604
I stopped using my Sensei Ten a couple of weeks ago...just to try a new wireless mouse
now testing, Kone Pro Air and Prime Wireless
To be honest, to try a lot is good
I realized how much I love the Sensei shape using something that wasn't a Sensei again
I just cant go back to wired though, love wireless haha
the Prime Wireless has a shape which despite being ergo is not as drastic as the Rival shape...
but if tomorrow SteelSeries makes a Sensei shaped wireless mouse, I would surely buy it at D1.
I've thought of trying the GPX as well since so many people praise it, but not sure on that shape..
I have had some meh experiences with Logitech mice failing me. G305 is going strong though
I don't know...they sacrificed too much just for the sake of its weight...
no CPI button, no on-board memory, no USB-C port...
and the switches are actually a joke
are they omrons? afaik logitech dont say what they are
the Model O Wireless uses the same switches...Omron 20M (Made in China)
I've been trying to avoid those, as my g602 started double clicking
they're so flacky
I can understand why Glorious uses them...80$ wireless mouse, they need to source something available for really cheap
I'm guessing Logitech will do their own Optical switch soon
I wouldn't be so confident
Logitech is master in reselling hot water using a pretty attractive label...
razer have theirs, ss have theirs, roccat has theirs. Dont think theyll want to fall behind
SteelSeries has used both Kalih and TTC Golden Micro Switches in the last iterations of its mice
Logitech uses the same Omrons since forever...
man the front of the M1 M2 buttons on this Prime are interesting
how they kind of chamfer down
they are pointing over the shape, the weight and the partnerships
like there is a ledge on the front
Yes they are, and this kind of optical switch is really crisp!
dont get the complaints on the side button placement
The double spring switch of the Sensei Ten was a bit mushy compared to the rebranded Kalih switches of my Rival 650...but these ones really beat everything in my house!
even the size is not that bad
the rival 5 def has some weird button placement though
on the front one, and the paddle, havent used it too much. But Ill be sticking with the Prime over it anyway
I would prefer a slightly bigger size, like on the Sensei lol
meanwhile the KPA side buttons are massive haha
I never liked crowded sides in a mouse for how I use mine
even for shortcuts while browsing the web, I'm used to use the Home, Page, End, Ins buttons on my keyboard
since I was a kid, basically
I used to use the g602 and appreciated the 6 side buttons there. It was a brick though lol.
So I thought the Rival might be similar
So I end up preferring two well placed buttons to 4 weird shaped ones π
The front button is a bit too far up front, have to reach for it and break grip. The paddle is ok, but not really that practical imo. If you push it up it can kind of lift the mouse as well on the side. The normal side buttons feel fine to me. The cable is not good
on the Rival
I mostly just use 2 macros anyway
on 2 side buttons
to change tabs in browser
when I get a mouse I just set those up (like today with the Prime hue), and turn off lighting if its a wireless mouse, change DPI, and I never really touch the software much then, only to change DPI
yeah, that's another thing
lightweight mice usually don't have proper storage on board
so you need the software to save those settings...
Finally someone has the prime,is it good im thinking of buying it, mainly for the tactile switches
and believe me, that 0% usage od SS Engine on the CPU is one of the reasons why I always try to give another fair shot to SS π
still getting used to it, its quite well built
The main attraction for me are the 100% virgin PFTE feet.
What grip are tou you using
This time well designed, they give enough surface and the mouse flies!
I have had some meh experiences with SS as well though for sure. Siberia V2. Headband just randomly snapped one day while its was on my head hahaha
Have you noticed the slight difference in sound between the left and right click? It's so cool that these switches have such a dinstinct sound!
I was thinking the prime none wireless because its only 60β¬ and it doesnt have 100% PTFE but yea
You can always buy PFTE feet later. I'm pretty sure GSkates will sell them.
its overall narrower and a little smaller feeling than the Kone, so a very different shape between the two
Im using the viper mini because i use finger tip and my only complaint is the mushy feeling buttons
That's why i want to try the prime
the hump is way taller, more front palm support
And im trying to find reviews on yt but its too early
I use a mix of fingertip and claw grip, depending on how fast I need to move the mouse...I almost never palm because using 400CPI or 800CPI depending on the game palming kinda slows me...
For fingertipping you should give a fair shot to the Aerox 3...or (hoping no one kills me) the Xtrify MZ1, that mouse is made for fingertipping
(and for small hands lol)
The Prime has a decent sculpture for fingertip grippers as well, but it's definitively bigger than the Viper Mini...
The aerox 3 has a lot of bad reviews tbh and the mz1 is too early in production and some copys have quality problems
That's the same with every mouse...
Yea i know the shape of the prime is weird and it will take time to get used to but i need to know if the switches are extra tactile and crisp,i dont want another mushy optical switch or a trash omron 20m
The Aerox 3 has not optimal feet, I know :/
The switches are the best I've ever tried (IMHO).
Clicky, crispy and with a well defined sound.
Interesting
curious but which mousepad do you guys use?
they are tactile, I think SS switches generally seem to be
side buttons very fast and clicky
Razer speed goliathus XL
for reference I've used (since 2007):
- Razer Copperhead (2 years)
- Logitech MX518 (2 years)
- SteelSeries Sensei OG (7 years)
- Asus RoG Strix Evolve (2 months)
- Logitech G502 (1 week)
- SteelSeries Rival 600 (4 months)
- SteelSeries Rival 650 (8 months)
- SteelSeries Rival 3 (2 weeks)
- SteelSeries Sensei Ten (1 year and half)
- Glorious Model O Wireless (3 weeks)
I've always used some QcK mousepads...in the last 2 years I've used a lot a QCK+ limited edition of CS: GO, I think it's called OWL edition...that mousepad has a tighter fabric and it's faster to use.
While I work I usually have a deskmat instead of a mousepad. At the moment I use the LTT Northern Lights (1000x400mm)
I tried to buy the endgame gear xm1r because it has kaily G8.0 but i could never find it in stock so im looking for other options the switches sounds interesting on the prime and im looking for second opinions
But im still skeptical of the ergo shape because its not generally good for finger tip
So, the Rival 600/650 mount rebranded Kalih switches
I had a deathadder and it was awful
the Prime has crispier switches.
So much wrist strain
The DeathAdder is huge though...this is more like a GPro Wireless for right-handed guys
it's compact but with a defined ergonomy
it's definitively smaller than my Rival 650, which wasn't Ideal for me in the end.
there are good sculptures for avoiding the issues you had, ambidestrous designs would be ideal, I know
So you think its worth it?i mean i just want really nice clicks and a safe shape
I think you should give it a try. If you can find it on your local Amazon, just give it a try.
I was always using Qck too never really looked at other options too much. Tried some razer goliathus and logitech, they were ok.
but now im using the mp510, very interesting pad
I have a Razer Gigantus...but just because it was a gift and it's personalized with one of my favourites Overwatch characters π
We dont use Amazon here in Greece that much i found the base prime for 61β¬ with some honey coupons on their site
I've tried both the new Rival 5 (mechanical switches) and now the Prime, both are crisp I would say yea
I think its worth it
this cordura material is super weird at first
Then try it.
I hope the none PTFE feet are not trash
the ones on the Rival 5 were aight
probably similar ones on the non wireless Prime
@jade tartan have you charged your Prime yet? does it really give ~40 hrs of playtime in a 15min charge (I think thats what they claim)
They honestly weren't in my Sensei Ten...but the virgin PFTE makes quite a difference...
I only charged it once to full battery when it arrived on Monday...
honestly it still has the green light with everyday work+gaming usage π
I'll probably try the fast charging feature the next time
It sounds like they sent Or1on the infinite battery prime on accident
The prime wireless does sound really nice
I hope I have that one too haha
Its weird that ss doesnt sell 100% ptfe for the other prime mice on their site
The Prime Wireless replacement feet are still not available, they will be soon and they fit the regular Prime so you will be able to upgrade them.
I like the sound of it, lol
is there a good ss keyboard with relatively silent switches? the apex pro maybe?
The apex pro has some revolutionary features and shi but its too expensive
Ok
are the switches loud?
The switches themselves not especially, but the bottom out isn't quiet
shame
the arctis pro wireless is currently out of stock on the steelseries website. Any idea how long it has been out of stock?
It will be as loud as any consumer keyboard
Nobody knows
@cunning moth but still notcieably louder than a membrane right?
Well yeah
asking cause mine is about to break (the plastic is broken) and if it's been out of stock for long perhaps that means a new one could be released
what about compared to blues or browns
Quieter than blues, about the same as browns
If you really want it to be quiet you can use o-rings, which feels terrible and defeat the point of a mechanical keyboard but it's an option
hmm ok. is something like reds or yellows going to be even quieter?
are omnipoints linear?
Steelseries don't offer yellows in the apex line so I cant say if it will be quieter. Sound depends on the plate material and board acoustics among other things, so will vary between boards. Reds will be the same as the omnipoints.
Yes
Hmm ok
If you want a quiet keyboard buy a GMMK, Gateron Ink Black switches, some lubricant and make it silent on your own. The Apex Keyboard has an open design with a full aluminum top/body so when you hit the bottom it gets pretty loud!
If you want a silent board buy silent alpacas lol
Omnipoints are linear, and they feel like a good middle ground between yellow and black switches (as stiffness)
I find the lower pitch of the ink blacks more soothing... π
Sure, I'd much prefer black inks but they're not more quiet.
Pitch is not the same as volume
He did mention it
Thank you doc, I already gave physics lol
Yellows on a polycarb plate can be quieter than black inks on a carbon fibre plate. But it depends on the board a lot...
I've really only used blues which I hated, and browns which I found better, both the feel and the sound.
But I think I would still prefer linear
Well...Ink Blacks on a polycarb plate are still quieter than yellows on the same plate lol
I would suggest you to buy either a sample of switches or a hotswap board and try some. For keyboards the best way to get what you want is trying IMHO.
People saying blue switches are trash and loud (which is true) but never tried kailh box whites or jades,the sounds is not that annoying as blues and the tactility is noticeable and the sound for me at least doesnt go through the headset
Well...it's obviously taste. Clicky switches are really something you either love or hate, if you like them you won't mind them. π
If you want something tactile and silent DONT for the sake of you buy brown switches they are not tactile at all
Not many other options in prebuilt keyboards
I went to a local shop to try some keyboards and i saw the brown switches tag and i was like "excuse me are those reds?"
It was that bad
The tactility is still noticeable, it's just not effective
Yea noticeable if you press it really really really slow and try your hardest to notice it
So yea none existing
So the switch works for some
Iβd advise that people can like an enjoy whatever switches they like
'Preferance'
Exactly
Guys when i buy a keyboard Apex 7 in French he is on QWERTY or AZERTY?
pretty sure french keyboards are azerty
They are
Yea its preference when you try it and then decide but if someone asks me if he should buy a tactile keyboard and i say brown switches im going to hell
So what tactile switch in a prebuilt keyboard would you recommend instead
I want to ask such an interesting question. What speakers and microphone do you recommend? I just want to equip my workplace)
Budget?
If you want silent tactile switches you are out of luck,but you can find a lot of cheap brands (chinese mainly) that implement kailh box switches
I got mine for 45β¬ and yes its not a premium build but the switches are great
Ok
Zelios v2 are very tactile and silent but i can't find a prebuild with them
Zealios are not silent
And zeals aren't in any prebuilts but the ducky iodine board, which still didn't have zilents
They dont have click bar that makes the annoying sounds so yea they are considered silent if you want silent you dont get tactiles
Clicky switches have click bars, tactiles don't
If you want silent switches you can definitely get tactiles lol, zilents or boba U4s fit the criteria
Wtf is that for
we're not gonna do that
400 euro
Well, that's the point...A member asked for options and some of us tried to give options π
What did the original message say? lol
Shure MV7 + PreSonus Eris 3.5 is a possible combo with that budget... π€
okβ¦
Haha, maybe maybe
10x, dude
It was a link to a not so entertaining video
kto pl?
if you could dm what the video is about please, that would be very much appreciated
@jade tartan loving the prime in game so far
very nice for flicking and fast tracking too, so nimble
and the glide mmm so smooth
Yes! Itβs so smooth! The sensor is ace! I have the βProβ version in the Sensei Ten and literally doesnβt miss a single inch!
Wireless βΊοΈ Both me and Sigma.
yeah
love the feet on the wireless
Its not as super comfy overall as the KPA for my hand, but its more nimble
whats your hand size @minor flax
Hello friends! so today finally my Steelseries pro with gamedac arrived and i just fricking can't get over them, the "ear pads" are fricking AMAZING, gamedac is like futuristic
Congrats
Wow I missed so much when I was sleeping
Medium
And when were u sleeping
The past eight hours...?
Nice
If you look at when I send messages you can figure out when I sleep
Yeah, I'm currently active now
saucy is awake wooo
everybody run
Great
my intimidating persona didn't scare you off? darn
i'm so excited
yeah i have six inch yellow canines and i smell
lmfaooo
i'm skittish and known to bite
Understandable
Sheesh
honestly i wouldnt be surprised if that were true
saucy is a bit saucy at times
i meant the skittish & known to bite part
somehow steelseries support is dead
I tried it a few times, i dont get a response even 2 weeks after ive been starting contact
I also didnt get any help on how to fix my issue but ..it is "member support", I dont have high expectations π
if I wanted more immediate response I would have opened a support ticket
yeah, ill wait if they response this time...
What's your ticket number?
lmfao good timing i guess
:(
it comes that with the gamedac you cant use colume controls on keyboards
but the apex has such a nice volume wheel
:(
the volume wheels on the apex keyboards are really nice
i like the little texture on them they feel good
but yeah the gamedac locks the audio from changing on other sources
TBH I tried as well to somehow map and take over gamedac volume control with VDJ or traktor DJ but I couldnt make it happen xD
Hmmm :/
my best option besides the sidewheel is to place the gamedac next to keyboard so it is easily accessible like the apex wheel
however, I am a speaker-guy so rarely do I use headphones at home π
spotify has its own keys to control volume

hello
Hey
anyone know if the arctis pro hard case fit any of the other arctis series other than pro?
does anyone here have the artics pro wireless
i need some help
my headset isnt connecting to the box when i turn it on
@ionic stone please use #archive-user-support or #official-support :)
ok ty
i got a new discord update
its pretty cool
you can put a gif on top of your pfp
its not working for alot of people tho
It's only rolled out for some, still in beta
yeah
you have to buy real nitro
Nitro classic seems to work fine
no
Ok then
but do you know what the name for the cord that you connect to the dongle for the steelseries arctis 1 is
you can get it on the steelseries website
we also sell them on the website, all accessories are 40% off with the current sale so if there's anything you're looking at on our website you can also get it at the same time
saucy
get outta here
sorry
don't get it on the steelseries website
that 40% off is important it's almost 50%
usb c to usb a adapter right
?
yup! any usb a to usb c will work if you're looking at ones on amazon
make sure you have the male and female ends correct
also, just so you are aware, the wired arctis 1 cannot be used wirelessly at all, just in the case you are trying to use the wired one wireless
dont want you spending money on something that wouldnt work
Has anyone ordered direct from steel series and received free accessories that are on offer with 3 headsets? I'm 9 emails and 1 month later and still being ignored or fobbed off when chasing for them.
Can you dm me your ticket number?
Arctis Pro Wireless Out of Stock = New Arctis Pro Wireless? :^)
just waiting on a shipment for a restock
you'll want a usb a to female usb c, so a usb a that plug into the pc & then a usb c that would allow something to plug into it
we also have it here https://steelseries.com/gaming-accessories/usb-c-usb-cable
amazon has filters
just make sure you look up female usb c to male usb a
just choose a longer length
@viral dew I had a ticket ref import tax query which was resolved as didn't pay any, I added in about free items and apart from check my promo section of email I've had no response.
Robert from Customer Service is as useful as a chocolate teapot. 13 May email thanked me for order and accessories would be shipped etc...nothing
you'll want to make an actual ticket with our web shop support through #official-support
that's who can help you
when going to make the ticket make sure you add in your order number & they'll be able to look into it for you, they might ask some questions but they'll be able to send out anything that wasn't shipped
@viral dew just DMd
thank you :]
Why wouldn't it
Or actually now that I read about your problem it won't
You just need an extension, so usb-a to female usb-c. Look that up like klex told you to.
ooh
so i have to get like this and thats it? https://www.amazon.com/Upgraded-Basesailor-Compatible-Chargers-Standard/dp/B079LYHNSR/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=usb-a+to+female+usb-c&qid=1622854962&sr=8-3
or would i need to get that and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DMH8FCF/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A1UKCDH6PA7SVL&psc=1
because the one on steelseries website is 20 dollars
That's just an adapter
look at second message
I have, and I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish
nevermind ill just get the one on steelseries site
Good idea
i really dont want to order it on steelseries because its 17.50 dollars + delivers in a week
Ok
Probably
Guys I have a question
My new arctis 3 mic is EXTREMLY quiet
how do I fix it?
@here
1, that wont work 2, #archive-user-support or #official-support
Guys, I can't find information on the sale of arctis pro pride in my country (Russia) on the site. What do you advise me to do? Or is this model not on sale in Russia?
Sold out
hi
Hey
i use this product for everything
Ok
Cool
Hi dude
Hey, are you talking to Russian?
Hi
Probably theyβre not getting to russia
You know, we have strict laws about pride propaganda
Limited editions rarely get to russian market
A Caps lock indicator for The Oled scren would be nice
Im not used to it having no indicator but only the changed colour
hi
w company
Keep it in english
And homophobic slurs are not tolerated, whether they are in English or Russian.
You say you don't know what that means, yet your linked steam profile quite obviously shows you're Russian... Curious.
That is never ok or allowed here
what s the best $100 keyboard ?
From steelseries?
hey, does anyone have an arctis 5 here? im kinda having trouble with the sounds and all. it sounds like im listening with a tin can lol. like the sounds are distorted of some sort
You already asked in #archive-user-support, you don't have to do it here as well
not only
What do you need on your keyboard?
mechanical switch
I did it! I have a SteelSeries product!
nice :)
I am so far, pretty impressed with my Arctis 1
So much better than turtle Beach. They never last more than a year. Will this be better? I hope!
How do you like the sound?
Crisp, clear and volumous
nice
Yeah, I got this because Viva La Dirt League
Ehm okay?
Lol, sorry @lean saddle It's a YouTube channel that heavily supports SteelSeries.
Oh okay
yes
i meant that there are many mechanical keyboars so what exactly do you want?
recommend me
YOu prefer any brands?
no
The last one ive got was the Sharkoon Skiller Mech SKG3, its only 60 with mechanical switches in any from you want
and something from these brands : hyperx/logitech/steelseries/corsair ?
what about hyperx alloy origins ?
its okay
Until whens the sale, a friend of mine has asked.
We don't know for sure when sales will happen
Okay thank you so much. β€οΈ
Guys I have a very important question
Is there a jack splitter in the arctis prime box?
Because my laptop has 2 jack ports
One for the mic and one for the sound
Anyone please?
I need help finding a discord pfp
Why
Reason: Posted a link
yo any keyboard owners, how straight is the logo aligned on your palmrest?
Parallel
perfectly?
Would you like me to find a set square?
sure lol
Yes, it's perfectly straight
Got the Apex Pro, pog
Congrats
cool im back
from the mute
for typing "sutututu" cause u cant type car sounds right? π€ͺ
Perhaps
Sadly i gotta agree u shouldn't type car sounds
i litrally wrote "sutututu" and got muted with no warning lmao
No u did got warned before
Or maybe someone else
But someone who wrote "stutututu" got a warning
Anyways imma go to sleep
Night
Then it was me
gottem
...
What
is there any way to activate a paint brush tool for configuring illumination for the Apex pro in the steelseries.gg software?
Not to my knowledge
dang, this thing is kind of a hassle to configure otherwise :/
I swear
No matter what I do
This keyboard will treat me like a piece of shit
Non stop
Everyday it's something new
And for what?
What did I do
Where did I go wrong
You do realize you cursed right?
Yes
Yes I am
There is a Jin that follows me around my apartments
And mimicking my mother's voice
I run away from it knowing my mother is at work
And my keyboard hates me
I have a Love Hate relationship with steelseries
Thatβs better. Thank you for not cursing I appreciate it
I'm literally cursed
My keyboard stopped working again
I just fixed it
5 minutes ago
Well maybe check your keys, and see if the cable is wacky and if it needs to be fiddled around with
Itβs probably a connection issue to your computer
No, some keys don't rollover
Hmmmm
I was playing battlefront 2 and I was holding w and wanted to press e
E didn't register unless it was pressed by itself
It came in a bundle and I probably don't have it
I don't have the box anymore and I opened a ticket
Well if you talk to a service agent, they will ask you for the cereal number and itβs on your keyboard, and then they can see if you have a warranty registered
Thatβs what I suggest
holding either shift or ctrl (forgot which one) and dragclicking was the best bet for me
anyone here finger tiping the prime mouse?
i want to buy it for the tactile clicks but the ergo shape scares me im going to make a bad buy
Should I ask my dad for the artic 1
And no it's not cuz I like fortnite it just looked like a cool headset lol
Hey is anyone using arctis 7p for switch + phone (discord) setup? How do you do that?
There is a extra 3.5mm cable i think for use on mobile
i wish the new prime headset had usb connection
3.5 is kinda trash if you dont have a soundcard
and i always get static noise
I just got an idea to get just more use of the omnipoint switches. What if Steelseries could update the Software so that you could have 2 different actuation points activated, like for a racing game maybe to have half and full brake or something like that
guys my steelseries gg is not opening anyone know what it can be?
i have apex pro tkl
my health mointer is broken
the app
when i turn it on it gets for like 2 seconds then it turns off
can anyone help me pls
ok
Anyone have any idea when the affiliation program will be open again?
No, definitely don't get your hopes up
People just aren't awake yet
Well there are europeans
gf
how long does it take for support to reply to a support ticket?
Surely you're not blaming steelseries for the shit you did with your board?
I know
Idk
They work on tickets Monday through Friday
ok thanks
DM a mod
ok ty
also report them to discord if they're scamming, sending malicious links, etc.
Mostly this. There isn't much we can do about them
Please donβt randomly tag staff, mods or Creators like that @fringe yarrow
disabling DMs from this server will also help you if they are DMing you
How are y'all doing this fine evening?
hiya
nice
That's great :)
Hey
