what about the motherboard
what do you mean its not pc
my pc is not the problem
it's wireless
oh sorry
i misread
then try using a different mic that is not the arctis
or just disable the arctis microphone from the sound control panel
like this
did you misread the problem too
the audio is bad
he has problem with hearing
yeah i know
what does microphone has to do with that
using a bluetooth headphone to both input mic and hear makes the audio bad
did you try using an audio jack?
i think its my eq settings
try using an audio jack instead of usb c
if you can
also split the jack into two with the extension cable
@wanton urchin mine worked now after the fourth reset. I was relieved. Thanks btw!

ive got the prism sync turned on and set to just the headset and mouse, but they just wont match up
I need help with the Steel series arctic headphones
I play one game on my ps4 it works fine but when I get on the second round I turns off
i have the steelseries arctis pro with game dac and the game channel keeps disspearing meaning i cant use the mixer and my friends can hear my game audio trhough my mic when this happens
can anyone help with this
do you use something like voicemeeter banana
I waiting for answer from support(Ron P. Chula) almost 2 weeks!!! Is this normal??? I don't think, that it is!!
I use Voicemod
try disabling that
I did before and it did the same
are you using wireless
Nah mines a wired one
make sure you go to control panel then sound and make sure its all connected properly
Yes but then I canāt use the mixer
Yeah but it was a £250 headset and I kinda wanna use all the features
did you open a ticket
Iām doing it now
Does anyone know how to reset the default illumination profile on the Apex 3 Keyboard via the SteelSeries Engine software?
my transmitter stopped working and i wont connect to my arctis 7
try reconnecting it
i need a gaming keyboard max 30 usd
Apex 100?
looks gud thx
it's only "gaming" keyboard I know that is so cheap lol
Anyone know when most of Steelseries' stuff will be back in stock?
Looks like most of their items are out of stock
Depends which ones, if you mean high demand like apex pro tkl then you just have to be very quick
they can go up at any time ig
Your best bet is to sign up for email notifications for when the items you want get back in stock as no one here has a solid answer @cinder estuary
Alright
No response
2nd time
Does anyone know how to reset the default illumination profile on the Apex 3 Keyboard via the SteelSeries Engine software?
I signed up to the newsletter yeah. Iām interested in a mousepad and maybe an arctis 3 wired so nothing too fancy I guess itās just a matter of when theyāre in stock
You'd probably get a faster answer just by googling it @tender rapids
Thatās the issue, I couldnāt really find a clear answer ;w;
The factory reset with the multimedia button and scroll wheel does nothing
Held it really uncomfortably for around 2 minutes but nothing
the apex 3 doesn't have an oled, does it?
Nope
rip, there's an option to factory reset in the oled menu
But the website does state that this method works on the apex 3
Will try reinstalling Engine software
I have a MAJOR MOUSE ACCLERATION PROBLEM. I literally turned off everything, so i wouldnt get mouse acclerartion. but i stil get it. but sometimes on other days i dont get it, but when i restart my it goes away. i alwayys have to restart my pc to get rid of this mouse accleration and its getting annoying, please dm me!
Can I please get some help
I got an Arctis Pro wireless, and it's fine, but the mic is REALLY bad. I knwe it was never amazing, but my friend is telling me it really is a bad mic. Is this a common thing, because I did hear the mic wasn't great, or is it something I can fix in settings or fix with a replacement? Currently I'm headed in the direction of just getting another headset, possibly from another brand

@dire cove in steelseries engine settings there is an option to override it
go to steelseries engine
gear icon top right
@tender rapids @hoary rose Did you get any resolution to the Catalina issues with the headset not showing up? I'm having the same problem with my Arctis 5: went through the steps proposed by support without suceess and haven't heard back on next steps.
I use my headset on PC
was only using mac for a short time
Sorry can't help ya there

@oak basalt Yes, it worked for me. The solution was: Enable the input monitoring permissions in Security & Privacy Settings for it to work.
Apple Menu -> System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy Tab -> Input Monitoring
Yes, that's enabled. I'll keep tinkering with it and hope support gets back. Thanks for the feedback!

@lime wave
also how many channels does the mic have?
here my old one has 2, new one has 1
(new one being pro wireless)
set it to 48000 @lime wave
it probably doesn't transmit that well but it doesn't really matter
tried and apparently no difference
yeah
is it just generally a bad mic?
if you set most of your devices to same stuff like 48khz for example it will help your pc and reduce latency

i watched this and it sounds good
my friend is telling me it sounds nothing like that
yeah im positive it has something to do with you
do you have the gamedac version
not sure if wireless is sold without it but
nah just standard pro wireless
that is also a dac of some sorts
just wireless
try using it on a different computer
or maybe on your phone with an adapter if you don't have another computer
also did you update the software on it with steelengine
i do have another i can try it on
uhh not sure
i just installed the software and that's it
well its not really easy to miss an update anyways
aight
it will say something like "new update" within this section of the app
if you have one that is
also how are you connecting to your headphones
is it possible that you connected to them directly with bluetooth without the gamedac/station
I would say no considering the BT was connected to my phone
And I connected them to the base station
if i did it right
bluetooth tends to screw up sounds if you use it to both input microphone and output audio
so make sure you are using the base station
and disconnect it from bluetooth
So you're saying use the base station and disconnect my phone?
yeah
But then that also defeats the point of the headset lol
well the station is the point of buying the headphones
yes but then it just sounds like you talking
if you're listening to live the mic quality sounds fine
they all sound the same
if you are using the mic through bluetooth its gonna sound worse then through the station
there is no bluetooth headphone that can input microphone at the default quality over bluetooth
at least i don't think there is
No
I'm using the mic through the wireless
directly to the base station
I'm so lost
lmao
Sorry haha
I have been told by my friends the mic quality is horrendous
So I don't know if there's a setting or update i need to do, or if mine is faulty, or if there is anothe rreason like background sound or my friends annoying me
so wait
that's all
i really doubt that yours is faulty
my headphones also have terrible input and output quality whenever im using the microphone on them
when you listen to it locally, it sounds fine? i.e; through Listen to This Device?
Well I can just hear myself speak so it's kind of hard to tell
use voice recorder then
you can record it
i'll try
could just be a drop in quality on discord's side
you said you used your phone to test your voice since you can't hear it right
its probably because the phone uses bluetooth
without the station
so you should test it on your pc
What I'm saying is I have a 4 year old wired one now, and if the issue is that the mic's just generally not great, I may return it because it's expensive to have what my friends are making out is a terrible mic. But i'll try now and see if it's just me, or if it's discord, or something
i boxed it up for potential returns
i did that, they said no difference 
I'll listen myself
and see if they're just annoying me or if it's just discord
its not about being great
its about latency
and discord servers
it sometimes doesn't have anything to do with you
do you have any sort of software like voicemeeter installed
something that filters voice
maybe for streaming etc?
you should probably make sure that its turned off
That's my old headset I'm using because I boxed up the pro wireless to potentially return it
you should probably send a ticket to steelseries before returning it to be honest
alright
is the most common fix turning up the frequency to max?
no
cause i did try and apparently there was no difference
i never did that with the wired version
ah
did you play around with the station settings maybe
try using different inputs
like hi-res
The mic on the arctis is definitely noticeably worse than what i currently have, but it's not terrible
can you send the mp3
don't think it should be sounding like that
Mine?
yeah
haha all good
Is there any headset that'll work on both XBOX and PS4? I'm so pissed, I just picked up the 9X and I love it but now I need to return it. I got it because the 7X doesn't support XBOX but the 9X did. But apparently the 9X doesn't support PS4? I shouldn't have to buy two headsets, this is ridiculous. (And who decided these model names? Idiotic!)
@tender rapids friend said in discord sounds better than other day
but worse than the audio clip
can i get a daddy chill
guys i got a question
does anyone know if i can add more equalizer presets to the gamedac
and name them
rather than using "custom"
my arctis 7 mic isnt working
anyone know if its possible to make the stratus controller appear as either an xbox one controller/ps4 controller on android? trying to squeeze some extra use out of my controller and use it on the COD mobile app but it only accepts xbox one/ps4 controllers
my arctis 7 keeps disconnecting and reconnecting, its funny because this only happens when I use it on my playstation it doesnt happen on my pc, so anyone please help
anyone know if its possible to make the stratus controller appear as either an xbox one controller/ps4 controller on android? trying to squeeze some extra use out of my controller and use it on the COD mobile app but it only accepts xbox one/ps4 controllers
@native creek something like that would probably require root permission since it's a driver thing
i took the stabilized keycaps off my apex pro once for a short clean and now they sound really loud?
shift, enter and spacebar primarily sound loud af though and are a little wobbly, even though the keycaps went back on fine
anyone have any solutions?
its definitely the sounds of the stabilizers, but its not a rattle its just loud
Tf did you do
It was someone else and I actually can't figure out how that happpened
where's the driver lmao
isn't this what they tell you to do during rma? cut the wire to an earcup?
my headset came with a split cable and my computer doesnt have two ports so what should i do
not even in the rear?
nope and when i plug it into my ps4 controller it starts working so idk whats the difference
i mean you can plug one of them in and it will work
but if you plug the headphones one in, only audio will work not the mic
and vice versa
huh weird, you'll need a splitter then
but also my computers audio has been buggin so i might try uninstalling it from device manager and restart
which case do you have? i only know of coolermaster that has a combo jack in the front
nah this for my laptop I make music on not my gaming PC
so ig i should get one of those headphone and audio to usb?
ohh okay
you'd need something like this https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Splitter-Extension-Earphone-Compatible/dp/B00LM0ZGK6/
i took the stabilized keycaps off my apex pro once for a short clean and now they sound really loud?
@teal spear Have you tried to lube them ?
Hi could someone tell me the difference between the apex 5 and the apex 7
cause im thinking of getting one
Anyone knows how to clean these?
@nova shard
maybe this could help you out.
are the after market pads for the steelseries rival 3 mouse? better ones
What lunatic holds shift w and enter at the same time
i use shift to sprint š
same
@teal spear Have you tried to lube them ?
@tender rapids no, i dont have any at hume
do you know any easy household alternatives? or do i really have to shell out and play dialectric grease
i saw that putting a piece of sponge in removes the rattle
For the $15k Custom-Built PC giveaway it won't give me the point for the "Join The Steelseries Discord". It keeps saying I'm not in the channel.
@summer depot The Apex 5 uses hybrid mechanical/membrane key switches while the apex 7 uses full mechanical switches. Apex 5 has some anti-ghosting but you can still run into problems with ghosting on the Apex 5 (a common one i've heard complaints about is shift+w+enter not working) apex 7 does not have any ghosting problems because it's fully mechanical
@tulip totem apex 5 is not membrane, it's fully mechanical
apex 5s are not worth it at all
either save up for an apex 7 or get something different
"not worth it at all"
now that is just a bad argument
people use non mechanical keyboards to play videogames and its mostly fine, the main difference is one lasts longer than the other
its not the end of the world if you buy a keyboard that isn't the latest version
apex 5 is a solid keyboard and will last you a good while without issues
apex 7 will probably last you longer but there isn't really anything other than that
you could probably buy another keyboard that isn't the apex 5 that is fully mechanical though for the same price
which makes you question whether you need to buy the apex 7 at all while its so costy
which the answer in "no"
My friends Rival 3 is changing DPI and clicking by itself, he has newest SS Engine. What can be reason?
what does fn button + win button do on the apex keyboards?
locks the windows key
so if you accidentally press it while gaming it won't be interrupted by opening the start menu
Just a quicky question, Does anyone know if you can use the Artic pro Wired (standalone) with the SteelSeries Artic DAC, Basically bought the Pro+Dac a yonk ago, headset broke but still have the DAC loved the headphones and sorta wanna rebuy but would that mean i have to buy with the DAC again or can i just but the standalone headphones and use the old DAC?
Awe okey Thx, just spooked as unsure if it comes with the same supporting cords 'n' such
yea, it's been a lil awkward to find the information and don't partially wanna bother the Support system as its a little slow atm
Awe amazing, Adding that to my order list now then š
Its a pitty because bought the headset previously though amazon (unfortunately wasn't able to claim insurance) but this time buying insurance again hopefully if it does go wrong again it'll be valid this time lol
yea but unfornately i bought my previously though amazon, simply because it was done through a fulfilment centre apperently my 1yr warrenty wasn't valid.. which was something triggersum but thats the price u gotta pay for 1day delivery
i assumed i was buying it though the Steelseries store on amazon but unfortantely not but! you learn from your mistakes so yea, but least its all on the way to being sorted now
Cheers tho for the help bro means a lot ^^
I have a question about the artics wirless pro, do they break after 1 year or 6 months of use? In the reddit there are numerous people saying that there headset broke off the hinge just 6 months in without doing anything bad to them. Also Is there any estimated date for them to come back in stock
I can't get imagesync to shut off in steelseries engine....there's just a spinning arrow on the switch
So I have a question for the Apex 7 keyboard, I have my RGB running on one of the custom presets you guys have and all but some of the keys (just started happening 2 months ago) are now doing there own thing. For example I would have my home row blue but some keys would be like orange and just doing there own thing. I went into the software to maybe see if its for the individual key and I might be able to fix it but nope. Do you guys happen to know how to fix it. I've also tried to reset the software and reinstall the steelseries software but neither worked
make sure you click that first and apply an effect
I have
Like my backspace its green when the number row on my keyboard is cyan
and I tried to maybe change the backspace individual by it self to cyan but
it still stays as green no matter what
but if I change the number row to like red then the backspace becomes orange
and I don't do any of that slamming keyboard while ragging things. I really do take care of my keyboard and clean it out and take a lot of caution when people are near it
but I think it might be something with the keyboard itself
try closing steelseries engine and choose an effect through the OLED
close SSE from the taskbar too
Nope, Even through the OLED it's still messed up and out of sync with the rest of the keys
I was scrolling through and its most noticeable when I had it on that purple (forgot the preset name) preset the backspace the f2 and the 5 key on the numpad were green and the rest of the keyboard was purple
Is there a way to adjust the mic sensitivity for the steelseries arctis pro (outside of discord settings)? It's picking up my fan in my room
in the SSE there should be
does steelseries still make rival 600
sub chumps
Can someone make me a pfp and banner for free thatās says Solar on it? You can do what ever you want with it.
idk if that counts as self promo but even if it doesnt this is the wrong channel
in the SSE there should be
@livid cloud Do you know where in SSE?
noise reduction maybe?
Hi I have a question regarding replacement microphones for the Arctis 1 Wireless headset, it says on the website that it is not available in my region and I was wondering If I could get an idea of when it will be available? Thank you.
Or at the very least where I can contact support
Well I'm not looking for the headset I'm looking for the microphone specifically, but I guess that doesn't change much
Thank you
hello i just bought the wireless artic 1s and i got the headphones working on my pc idk how to get the mic working
it detects it and stuff but doesnt like work
Hi! Just a quick question. I'm considering making the switch from my current Razer keyboard (ew right) and I was wondering about one of the capabilities of the OLED screen on the Apex 7. Is it possible to be able to view who joined a voice channel temporarily, and if so, then switch back to displaying temps or whatnot? Please ping me with an answer. Thanks so much. :)
make sure your input is set to the arctis 1 @tender rapids
on where
its that on discord and i click test and i speak nothing works
@tough sonnet
and the physical mic isn't muted correct?
no its not muted and its brand new from amazon
i got the headset to work but not the mic
so like idk what i should do
you can try reading the setup process again and if it still doesn't work you can exchange it from amazon i believe
ok
Hello, my arctis 1s mic is not working, it only works if I talk up close to the mic, any solutions?
In the SSE im fairly sure you can turn up detection
Oof I mainly use it on console not pc
i just have my mic close to my mouth
I tried to redeem my code, but it says it was already redeemed? I asked a few people and they've said that they've seen already redeemed codes? Any help with this?
And I don't want to be mean and try and get another one. Its not really fair with the issues that have been happening
a code for what
The emblem code
there is another one tomorrow so you can try again
Would that be fair with the amount of issues that happened today? I don't think a lot of people were able to grab a acode
Hey guys so I have the apex pro and have system monitoring on but the cpu comes up as NaN please tell me how to fix this
AMD
Why cant that be fixed?
I guess they are working on it
Have tried updating it 5 times
both wireless and cable
Have tried reinstalling ALL of SSE
Including removing the devices in device manager
But everytime I try to update it, i gets told it worked, then 2 seconds later, it tells me that I need to update the mouse, because the update failed
Is your mouse connected with cable while updating?
my arctis 9x keeps giving me audio pop noises when listening to stuff and i cant hear game audio??
???
wheres game tho
Guys my sister was using my steelseries arctis 7 with the transmitter and then it randomly died, when i woke up she showed and when i plug it in it says "Avnera AV6301" i did some research and apparently this is the transmitter's bootloader mode? people with razer headsets get a dedicated dongle replacement tool but steelseries doesnt offer a replacement tool, and when i look on the website it tells me that i cant order the transmitter because you guys dont ship to my country please help, is there anything i can do to fix this
yea but in the #official-support it says that this channel is where u guys can suggest fixes
ok
does anyone have the steelseries dongle troubleshooter thingy, if so can you send it to me pls
one of the keys on my Apex 7 tkl is starting to not register every time i hit it. i swapped the key cap to see if the interior guide was just getting worn out and same issue. it doesn't always register when i hit the left side of the key but works fine anywhere else on the keycap.
Hey guys so I have the Arctis 1 Wireless headset, it works great wirelessly but when I plug in the cord (into my PlayStation) the audio becomes very low
anyway to take out a single switch on the apex 7 keyboard? one of my switches is stuck
Anyone know when Apex Pro TKL's are restocked?
no
@everyone hello people. I have a problem with my keyboard pressing F key causes the F9 F10 F11 and F12 and left Windows key to light up and make my keyboard not function correctly. Can anyone suggest anything?
don't @ everyone
and it's supposed to
holding the Fn key highlights the windows lock, presets, macro and brightness keys
Sorry @charred badger see Iām not holding the Fn key. I mean the key in between D and G
Also where is the Fn key on a apex 5?
the steelseries logo
Pretty sure itās not mapped to it no
that's weird, cause that's what the fn button is supposed to do
which layout is your keyboard? us etc
Yeah. Itās annoying. Itās U.K.
make sure the correct keyboard region is set in steelseries engine
it's in OLED & Settings
Yep itās set to U.K. English
hum weird
try factory resetting your keyboard
hold the media button for a few secs
scroll down to settings and then down to factory reset
Just tried that. Resets and still does it
send a screenshot of your key bindings in steelseries engine
huh, there's no Steelseries keybind
Damn. This is annoying
Yeah when I looked for SteelSeries button I couldnāt find it
what firmware version is your keyboard on?
Also if I hover my cursor over the SteelSeries button it doesnāt allow me to click on it
hmm, it might be really old i'm not sure
my apex 7 tkl is on 4.1.0, lemme ask my friend what his apex 5 is on
Oh wow. It should be up to date
Hello, sorry for interrupting your conversation. Im looking to buy the Arctis 5 for my Xbox. I know that the rgb and chatmix doesnāt work, but I have also heard that some have had the problem with their mic not working. I would love to get some more info on this.
my apex 7 tkl is on 4.1.0, lemme ask my friend what his apex 5 is on
@charred badger cool okay thanks for asking š
Reason: Bad word usage
is legit
audio popping
when im listening to music
i hear static
and audio pop
its rlly annoying
i don't have an arctis 9x so i can't really be of any help
sorry
Hey guys so I have the Arctis 1 Wireless headset, it works great wirelessly but when I plug in the cord (into my PlayStation) the audio becomes very low, like I can barely hear anything. Are there any fixes to that?
Is there any way to deal with the "NaN" values for cpu stats on the system monitor app for keyboard oled screens???
it's a known bug for ryzen cpus
is there any way to fix it?
Not until SteelSeries updates the engine to display Ryzen CPU temps correctly, no
is the system monitor application fairly new?
or has this been a known bug that they have just failed to respond to
Yeah I'm pretty sure, also Ryzen CPUs just have a different temp reporting system than Intel. It's not an issue with the board itself or the CPU, you just gotta wait for SteelSeries to add Ryzen support in a future Engine update
do you know how long the system monitor thing has been around?
also is there a steelseries bug reporting forum or smtn
I can't answer either of those questions lol sorry
I don't own a 9X and I've never used one personally so I probably won't be much help sorry
Hey, I just ran into an issue where my Arctis Pro Wireless battery that looked fully charged in the charging station, but was immediately low battery when I put it in my headset. Anyone have this experience? Any ideas how to rectify it?
hey! does someone know when the steeleries apex pro tkl gets restocked?
so i bought an adapter
for my arctis 9x ye
and now i cant hear anything if i use my mic
any fixes
hey! does someone know when the steeleries apex pro tkl gets restocked?
@livid rune ^^^
@cloud berry ?
i quoted your message....
@tender rapids is it connected to a laptop?
try setting a meta binding
make a macro and turn your brighness up using your laptop's keyboard
hmm
might have to tinker with ahk or something
autohotkey
are there any pbt keycaps out there rn or just other keycap options in general ig that are compatible with steelseries omnipoint switches?
i've seen some reddit posts about them jamming sometimes tho
@rich inlet yeah because of the LED position on the omnipoint switches some keycaps get stuck on them
is there anyway to avoid this problem
or do you know of some keycaps that wont get jammed at all?
Anyone had issues with the m800? I'm finding random keys are double clicking, not registering or when holding they release (not fun when defusing)
Hi, I have screen burn in my apex 7 OLED screen. Any way to fix that? Is this covered by warranty?
hi i have the SteelSeries apex pro tkl does the stabilisers "the little black things on the enter backspace right shift and space bar " move side to side because i got new keycaps and it gets stuck on the right shift
Reason: Posted a link
omg
it was not a link >:(
just POST

i just using insomnia trying post something, but i don't know that operation will create an "app"
š
yeah makes sense, i mistakenly made an app too
but anything that uses the sdk will become an app
cool
is Insomnia like Postman?
YES
but i think it's more simplicity
it's easier with lisp but i'm 45% through a c# course i can't learn another language rn 
insomnia looks a lot simpler
yes
omg your pfp is so cute
oh nyoooo D:

I left my Rival 650 plugged in to charge overnight (Left my PC on because I was rendering a blender animation). When I come back it's off, normal, but I can't get it to work anymore. I tried using the connect button, un-plugging and re plugging the wireless adaptor, tried unplugging everything wireless including my headset from steelseries EXCEPT for the wireless mouse adaptor, then using the connecting button. It flashes blue then shuts back off. I bought this a week or two ago from the steel series website...
Now I have to use my crappy 20$ mouse I had before this.
Any ideas how to fix?
DM me please.
Nevermind, I tried the same way I fixed my oculus rift S. Try every USB port available...
Turns out, I can only use one certain USB port or else my mouse goes bye bye... IDK why it had this glitch in the first place.
I had a similar problem with Rival 650, but it's extension USB Hub's fault, not mice itself, I believe the mice need more power or more reliable connection
Does anyone know how to get the mute button on the Arctis 3 headset to work? I use in bluetooth mode and it works for about, 1 call...
My steelseries apex 3 keeps not being detected on my new windows 10 pc. My rival 3 works fine. Most of the time it will be detected if I simply unplug it and plug it back in, but thatās not the case this time. Please help.
my rival 600 lights are being weird and its not letting me save any settings in the engine
My mic isnāt working
what headset
I'm having mic problems too, arctis 1 wireless, in wireless mode
Only in wireless mode, wired, no problem
Nevermind, I tried the same way I fixed my oculus rift S. Try every USB port available...
Turns out, I can only use one certain USB port or else my mouse goes bye bye... IDK why it had this glitch in the first place.
@dapper valve It may be a god idea to check your Drivers, you may need to clear some out. I've had this happen before and fixed it by removing old drivers and old devices
Arctis 1 nentindo switch wireless on dock
Same, doesn't work on dock or handheld
either
In general, mine doesn't work in wireless, I hear audio fine but mic doesn't work
I can hear myself in my mic but other pepole canāt hear me
If I buy a usb c to lightning cable can I use my arctis 1 on my iPhone
I believe you can but don't take my word on it...
I don't see why not
If anyone has a solution to my problem @ me or dm me
@dire kraken Possible solution, check the mute button on the back of your headset that mutes you or in-game settings. You might have some form of push to talk on for your game (Never used Nintendo switch in my life)
Make sure two way chat is enabled, etc.
Could it be my dongle? I hear all audio fine, but I can't speak
Is Windows detecting the mic properly?
Ree
same
@weak geyser I don't use my headphones on PC, only on switch
Do you think if I clean it it might work?
Nevermind, problem with the game, even with correct settings voice chat was broken
You play Fortnite
I'll be honest, problem with the game wasn't the first thing on the top of my head, it was fine minutes ago yesterday prior to problem happening, and yes
Same, I have 1 wireless, I always use wireless, never been a problem, I actually plug em in yesterday and use the headphone jack adapter thing, my friends could hear me yesterday if I plug em in, but in wireless, couldn't hear me
I always use wireless first they could hear me then I got back on they couldnāt and voice chat settings where fine
Wait, were experiencing same problem in the same game with the same headphones?
Yep
Bruh
Yep, Ik, status just tweeted they fixed it
how do i apply imagesync on my keyboard? i have the apex 3
steelseries engine > apps > imagesync
true
oh true, it has zones
so i cant use image sync?
No I believe so.
I guess you could but as the Apex 3 has only zone lighting instead of per-key rgb, the image would be not understandable
Hello, welcome to tech support, how may I help you?
Reason: Mass emoji
mass emoji
Yeah apex 3 has zone lighting

does anyone else experience crackling/static, and popping while on the wireless mode w/ the arctis 7?
No
this problem has never occurred before today, and its effecting my learning capabilities, it always pops and crackles whenever my professors speak, whenever I play video games, or when I listen to music
its pretty consistent too
it always occurs whenever there is audio playing
regardless of the source
but it doesnt happen when i use the 3.5 mm audio jack

otherwise its not working
Are you saving the config?

Have you tried deleting the config and remaking it again?
And it still gave you issues?
yes
Okay, I do not know a fix, so just submit a ticket via #official-support They should be able to better assist you there. I haven't had that issue.

Contact support

The mute button on my apex 3 isn't working, and my sound will randomly mute.
please @ me with a solution
Is there any way with prism sync to have the reactive press fade back into the colors that were already on the keyboard?
@solid forge you should talk to normal support for that
@north phoenix from what I have found no
Thatās what I thought too š¦
@late socket when I scroll on the display there is not notification option
Itās just illumination, macros, profiles, and settings
When I go to settings it says display, about, and factory reset
it has to be in the uhh engine then

heya folks o/
Got an old sensei mouse, bought it back when starcraft 2 first came out (Just had its 10 year anniversary!) and I've been using it as a spare over the years. It still works really well, but theres a problem now where the left mouse button will click twice in a row sometimes, or just stop dragging something when I'm holding it down. Is there any way to fix this? Would I need to open the mouse up, and are there any tutorials specifically for fixing a double click situation like mine? Any tips or advice would be super helpful and appreciated, thanks in advance!
Anyone have a solution to the Rival 700 mouse wheel problems?
It works by blowing some air in to it, but only for like 10 min
I have an Arctis Pro Wireless. Will there be Support on the Series X for it?

Neither of those @lime bane

are you using a release or a pipeline build?
try the link i sent, the last build since the other two failed
@stiff jay the apps control it fine right?
My keyboard is coming today

I have no idea if it works with the apex pro

Sorry? @charred badger

PrismSync is the only thing that works

Do you have any third party RGB software like icue?

armory crate?
Did you enable or disable FULL SDK Support
Do you have any third party RGB software like icue?
@lime bane only SSE can control arctis
cant remember
I had no idea, if icue has an option.
I really don't pay attention to software like that.
icue only has asus integration
it seems like engine apps work fine
Ignore what I said, Rafee knows more about this.
oki

can you change the mic volume on engine for steelseries pro wireless?
yea it shows up as avnera
it is and i brought it up to support and they sent this:
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out. Try doing a clean reinstall of both SSE and your device drivers using the following steps.
Please note that this will delete any saved configures within SSE, so please save them to the cloud.
Navigate to and run: C:\Program Files\SteelSeries\SteelSeries Engine 3\uninst.exe
We will need to uninstall the existing driver( if there is one) completely. To resolve this issue, please take the following steps:
-
Make sure your SteelSeries Engine is up to date. Install the latest version if you have not already. It's very important that the latest version of SteelSeries Engine is installed PRIOR to taking the next steps. Please find the latest version at: http://steelseries.com/engine
-
Using the search functionality in Windows, search for "Device Manager" - click and open it
Note: If this does not work, search for "Control Panel" and navigate to Device Manager -
Find the device in the device tree
-
Right click and select "Properties"
4a) If there is a second or multiple entries related to the device, you will need to repeat this process. -
Click "Driver" on the top toolbar and select "Uninstall (Advanced)" at the bottom.
-
Ensure the checkbox is checked and uninstall the driver.
-
Select Uninstall Device.
-
Once this is done, replug the device and the driver will reinstall
Let me know if the issue persists.
Download the SteelSeries Engine 3 software for the best gaming experience on Windows and Mac.

hi, i invited my friends over to play, and my friend adjusted the dpi on my steelseries rival 3, and now i cant get it back to the previous dpi which i was using
can someone help me?
yes the one next to the scroll button
to change it up or down?
the button that changes the dpi
my friend pressed it multiple times
and now i cant get my old dpi back
got steelseries engine?
uh no
Looks like this and you can get into the setting on your devices
so if you get it it should show ur mouse
and probably the keybinds
i am not too sure cuz i use logitech mouse
does anyone know what the default dpi for the mouse is
Idk but i would recommend just testing to see what you like
and maybe you can like feel that its normal
Worked?
use aim master or something
if you always overshoot your targets, lower your dpi
if you take too long to reach your target, raise it
The colors on my rival 3 are messed up
Whenever I make it orange it turns yellow
Whenever I make it red it turns orange
@ me if you can help please
yo, need help

it never stops after i finished my "press"
for exapmle , i make 100 clicks for a macro , then i start to press to use it , after i done it , it never stops till 100 clicks end
and it wasnt like that
it'd stop before the last update
after i've done the clicking
are the settings changed about the macros?_
cuz it was like 500clicks per sec but now , max 34
i have the apex pro and im having insane keyboard input lag to the point where as im typing this sentence i can only see the word apex how can i fix this
I posted this on r/steelseries but Iām yet to get a response so Iāll put this here too.
I used to use my arctis 7 all the time on my computer with the wire but about two months back I learned how to use them wirelessly. Recently the port broke so Iām trying to use the wire but itās not even detecting it. Iām seeing the name of the mic which is still the same but when I try to use it there isnāt any audio picked up. Iāve tried seeing if itās the default device and seeing if apps allowed it. I even downloaded the software from the website and it doesnāt even show up there. I know the mic isnāt broken because Iāve been using it wirelessly and with the wire on my laptop. What can I do to hopefully fix this? Thanks.
Please ping me if you have an answer even if Iām offline so Iāll see it later
heya, i have an issue with my arctis 5 2019 (most likely software) is there anyone that could help me?
guys
can someone tell me how can i make a new macro for minecraft
my last macro settings has been broken after lastest update(from engine)
can i have confermation that i cant use imagesync on my apex 3 keyboard?
yes, imagesync relies on keyboards with per-key lighting, since the apex 3 rgb is split into zones, it's disabled
apex 5, apex 7, apex pro and their TKL variants
ok thanks
Hey my mic isnāt working on my arctis 7 Iāve used it before wirelessly and it works with the cord on my laptop which is a MacBook but on my Windows pc it doesnāt take any input but I can hear just fine Iām pretty sure itās the default mic and every app has it allowed
Ping me if you have a solution on how to fix this
i just got a steel series engine pop up on home screen is this normal
