hi guys i have arctis 3 bluetooth when i am using at hands free i can use my mic but when i am using with cable, mic is not working
I would be glad if you answer
at arctis 3 bluethooth can i use mic at streo
hi guys i need some help with the arctics pros
i bought them today and noticed there is random noise from the mic when in game and on obs when its muted or not
Wdym like when you click the button or just all the time?
is there a way you can reset your headset?
everytime im in a discord call, the mic doesn't work
prob
anyone else with acrtis 5 that have/had problems with chatmix?
problems like what
What type you have?
Arctis 5
Just chatmix beinig annoying with games and chat
Not sure about the A5s. Sorry m8. My guess it that there would be a button behind the right earphone (you need to take it off). Should be a tiny hole that you could stick a toothpick/paper clip/something small into to reset it.
@hazy cliff
You need to set up the audio in game apps and chat apps to tell the difference
What’s up
is the apex 3 only available with the silent switchs ?
like this right?
Yes. It's only available with the membrane switches. They're not mechanical either.
So one is game and one is chat, in things like discord you’d have it using chat. Then for games it would be set as games
that is set automatic?
I think there is an easier way to set it up since I don’t remember
how do i set up like spotify or chome to use it?
I honestly can’t remember right now hold up
oki
i know i can change it here but its really annoying with speakers and doesnt work all time
this is mine
yeah and then in things like discord it should be set to chat, while games are going off that base thing im pretty sure
im also not 100% on most parts of my set up so thats something too
discord is set good but its just spotify and some games that dont reconize the chat and game
then im not too sure, you could certainly fill out a ticket and hear from a steelseries rep about it
yea i just got a mail back i need to uninstall everything
not sure if its gonna help but ill try
hope it helps!
ty, how do i safe my SSE in the cloud
so, my arctis pro plastic hinge just broke, SS is not responding at all and im pretty disappointed, no idea what to do
ummm i believe it syncs to the cloud, not too sure tho
oh ok ty
When did you make the ticket Diablo
a week ago now
umm then all i can say is dont respond to it again because that would boot you down their list. Im also not sure when they would respond, it depends on the rep
ok so im not sure if im doing it right but i did the unins.exe and i need to reinstall it now. right?
once it is uninstalled then yeah
ok so i need to reinstall the drivers?
according to what the rep said, yeah
ok
Pretty sure i fixed it but how do i setup that setup is working under chat
im sorry run that by me one more time? im not understanding
well i want discord, chrome, spotify and that kind of things on the left side of the mixer and games on the other so i can change volume easy
Alright then, so make sure that you have the Arctis Game set as your default playback device and the Arctis Chat set as your default communication device under your Playback Devices tab, and then the Arctis Chat set as your default recording device in Windows recording devices.
Then in any chat apps, make sure that both your input and output are set to the Arctis Chat.
thank ill try that
and you can still respond to the ticket and ask just in case
i refunded arctis 5 , if you can pay more , i suggest you to buy 7 @gray vapor
i have arctis 5 and i never had any problem with them
i had all the music, game, videos etc on game side and discord voice and other comm on the chat side
did spotify and chrome automaticly get on the "chat side"for you?
anyone know if theres gonna be any sales for christmas/ny?
spotify ws on the game side automaticslly tho
you want it the other way around?
@outer stream the xmas sale most likely was the black friday/cyber monday one
well just games on game side and stuff like discord, spotify chome etc. on chat side
@turbid gyro ah damn rip
ooh
yea then idk how to help sorry
the chatmix dial is meant for the chat features
spotify isnt one
yea true
a while ago i got discord, spotify, chrome on one side but then it started acting up
so it is possible
oh okay
i wouldve said its probably not possible the easy way, because not really meant to be that customizable
but if you had it already...
maybe you just got lucky at first 😂 with a bug that allowed this
what you want to achieve sounds like extra advanced
and i think the inbuilt driver separates chat and game the way it does, i mean, it connects the chat side with known chat programs
that probably also use the mic
i think i kinda got it?
when chat is on the right discord, chrome, spotify is off with sound
so that is not good or perfect
ill try it out
true
best of luck 😀
haha omg
uhh i hate this
u are driving yourself insane with this
but it isnt used to be working the way u want it to, or claim to had before 😀
if on windows you can set specific programs to output to the chat output in sound settings
yea i know but when i use my speakers ill have to reset everything
but its kinda working now so im happhy
thank you both for helping me :)))
Does anyone else have an issue with GG not opening?
gg being?
their software for clips and hardware
I've had a ticket open since October 15th, my return made it to Steel Series warehouse November 6th, no representative will respond to my ticket, no refund issued. Can someone please help me ?
Hey does anyone know if, and yes when the Arctis Pro Booster Packs will be back in stock in the UK? They have been out for ages 😦
Exactly I have had my Headset sent in and it’s been 6 months already since then!!! Where is my replacement?
i bought 2 artics 7 wireless, received a box with just ONE product 12 days ago.. requested a ticket support 12days ago, no answer. Its just like that? paid $149 each, and im gonna have just one?
Do you have a separate tracking number for the second one? If you received an invoice from SteelSeries listing both purchases then you should be contacting whoever shipped the product to you
When I mute myself on my Arctis 5 headset (on the headset) people can still hear me on discord - but very low. Is that meant to happen or...? 😳
Hey, im a bit confused about my order. I placed a order on steelseries website for the Apex Pro TKL DE at the 10th Dec and payed via Paypal. Yesterday i received a message by Payplal that steelseries refunded the money for that product. I didnt received any email about the reason. Also my order is still labeled as "Preparing for Shipment". Plz help
Hi there, not a rant but adding to the feedback from other users here; SS customer service is a joke. QcK Prism Cloth dead after not even 2 months of normal use. Canned answers/templates and ticket closed without any resolution. Smh.
I just need someone to respond to my ticket, please. Idk how this works but my account on steelseries has the email, tomuchcamo@gmail.com
So I just ordered abother SteelSeries mousepad because the one on the left has scratch marks in it from cat and it annoyed me. However both pads are different, did I get a knockoff or are they just different ages? Seems odd that I'd get different ones ordering them both in same month or so
Amazon SteelSeries store
Yea either from 2014 or fake
And the steel should be bolded not the series
And the pad feels kind of bumpy even though it's a solid granite surface
Rip, gotta return it, not sure if I should try again lol
Damn the first time I ordered it was by Amazon this Time it was by someone called mighty tech
Reeee
just today my headset (Arctis 5) started having problems i couldnt hear anything volume was fine almost everything was fine but im not sure if there is some new drivers or not
Just order off steelseries if you can
https://steelseries.com/
Anyone got a 9x in here? I got an issue after I updated it today
I don’t know man sorry
i just got a apex 5 keyboard but none of the shortcuts that usually work work now so i can take screenshots and use emojis and stuff
is there new key binds or does it just not work
There should be a notification in the GG software if there is an update
what is the official website @vocal elm ?
on pc its a desktop app you download
one sec
the first link is the gg software which i use
is gg better
I didn't even know there was a separate software at this point
I use gg and it has all my devices on it
and I think it has all the devices, install that and try it
it's releatively new and the other one is the old software
So it may not support the apex 5 and GG should
Yeah It should support them all
Its there do-all software
Came out privately around sometime in July or sooner and then recently went public
well just today my steelseries arctis 5 stopped working sound wise
ive tried almost everything
its sorta annoying
can we call rq
im not sure if its the right one
just a screenshare
nvm
version 0.13.2 @vocal elm
alright
I still had 0.13.1
Okay so walk me though exactly what the issue is again
which device and which use cases
so 1 hour ago i open netflix and went to watch haikyuu then my headset started making this weird noise and tiny cracks so then i went to my sound mixer and searched for troubleshoots and stuff like that, it told me to disable enhancments
i did that
after that it started to search for new drivers
it said that there was new drivers but i clicked out of it and i couldnt get it to come back up
so i downloaded steelseries.gg
and still not working
the volume and everything is up
but i cant hear anything
and you have your audio output set to your headset right
yes
Did you try changing around where your headset is plugged in
yes
Restart your pc?
yep
is your volume up on the headset
yes
Try using the headphones on other devices such as a phone or something
afk
OMFG
MY DUMBASS
the game chat and audio chat thing that connects to the headphones
it was unplugged
but i love you bro thanks for helping out (no homo)
lol no homo indeed man, glad you got it worked out 😘
Its midnight for me lol but you too
I don't get it, I ordered the aerox3 2 weeks ago but it had soms connection problems so I had to destroy it for the warranty, now I had to use my old mouse again and realized I liked a heavier mouse wayyy more. Now the guy from steelseries is telling me I can only reorder the aerox 3 eventho I want to pay 60 euro extra for the rival 650.... logic ????
They acting like it's hard to make me a promo code I can use for the rival 650, it literally takes 10 seconds to make such a promo code
Good morning everyone.
I really hope that someone here can help me, because I am starting to get really anxious now. This is a Christmas gift for my boys and we are still waiting for a response from the Steelseries Support. It has been over two weeks now. What I'm worried about is that we will not get the headset in time for Christmas.
I've created a ticket(have not updated it since I know you end up in the beginning of the queue again...) and posted on their reddit as well.
Ticket ID: #886599
We ordered two headsets(Artics Pro and Artics 7), but only got the Artics 7. The partcel paper and email mentions that both has been shipped in one package.
What is strange is that we got a package that is only big enough for one Headset(Artics 7) and still the parcel papers mentions both of them. Pictures has been attached accordingly in the above mentioned ticket for proof.
Can someone please assist? :(
Thank you.
For some reason, today, my arctis 7's 2 scroll wheels have been really tough to turn, I did not have this issue yesterday. Both the buttons, but mainly the right, game / chatmix has been very tough, the sound strength less so, but still tougher than usual, anyone know an easy fix for this problem?
Hoping sumone can help me.i bouught the steelseries artic pro wireless iv i have noticed that on the chat audio it keeps making audio fade out go silent the come back after a brief period of time doesnt anyone have any info or help on this please?
There should be a chat mix scroll wheel im not sure becuase i dont use the arctis pro buy if there is you can change between the volume of game volume and chat volume
Chat as in like talking in game or discord
If not im not sure what to do
how do I turn of that I can hear myself through my headset? like from the mic. arctis 5
Hello everybody
Can someone tell me why my rival 650 mouse won't charge
I connect a wire to it and nothing happens, the wheel just flashes red
Turn off sidetone in the Engine software
thanks
Can you test the cable with something else to make sure it works? Or maybe test with another micro usb cable if you have one that's slim enough
You're welcome :)
Hi i recently bought a steelseries apex 7 tkl and for some reason the lights keep turning on and off and none of the buttons work unless i unplug it and plug it back in or reset the computer, does anyone know why?
I've tried to factory reset it, plug it directly to my laptop, but it still keeps doing it at random times and it's really annoyinh
That sucks. Make sure to make a support ticket about it
hey guys i was just wondering this, if you guys got like a headset warranty replacement and they gave you a coupon code does it only cover shipping? because i sent my headset in and they said they'll replace it or something but when i got the coupon code it only covered shipping and i really cant afford a new headset since the one that broke was meant to be a long term investment, and if i ask them to send back my broken headset so at least i can keep trying to use it for a bit longer do you think the support team would've thrown it out already?
thanks
like the email said "This is your warranty replacement code. " so by warranty replacement i'd expect like a warranty replacement headset right? and not just covering shipping?
(please ping if you're going to answer btw im not on discord much :/ thanks!)
I voided the warranty of mine im pretty sure when I replaced one of the speakers
If you get a replacement code it should be for the product and shipping I think
oh ok thanks! because mine when i entered it only covers shipping :/ i'll ask if they made a mistake
Sounds weird
should i send a picture? or maybe i used the code wrong
And you picked exactly the same product?
its suppose to be the product + the code right in check out
yes
arctis pro + gamedac
if it only covers shipping its not the exact same product if its not a bug
ok thanks
I mean if this helps i did buy a headset stand and a case for it in the same order before
maybe that glitched the system or something?
this is the order from before
and this is what i see in checkout with the awfully drawn out code
the code did the discount -0.01$ and the free shipping
No clue why that is like that tbh
sad, hopefully support answers soon, tysm!
Best of luck and you're welcome :)
Is it possible to use the volume wheel on the apex pro for a certain program rather than the whole system sound?
csgo engine app will not be disabled
it says it is off
but is still controlls the rgb
try going into the csgo app configuration and flick the update event switch on the right off and on
When getting your RMA promo code did you get it in your original reply saying you were getting a code or did it come afterwards spearately? @proud stream
it came separately in a separate message from another support account or something
there was one then they said they changed it and sent another one
how long did it take for the 2nd message to come?
i just got my email that said i was getting my replacement code an hr ago
and i want to get my order placed before the christmas cutoff today
weird nothing saying anything about time frame in mine
came around the same time as the first one
Why is steel series contact only the 2" wide web forum without proper formatting and a MB cap on photos ( the dmged product i'm trying to send photos of) UGH
i responded to a dudes email for more info on MONDAY and realized TODAY my emails went no were, they never told me to return to the web page and attach photos to a hidden support query box. Overall very bad experience trying to contact steel series in a timely manner. on top of that, the submit button is too close to the add file button and i ended up sending 3 tickets because i sent it before attaching all the photos AND correcting spelling errors in their description box adds those letters to the END of the description for some reason making me start my thought over completely.
SS support definitely leaves a lot to be desired
I sadly seem to not have gotten any help 😦 Sad you guys couldn't help :/
How would we help, best you can do is contact support - I've never had any issue like that.
can anyone comment if the apex pro/ apex line oled screen should be cream colored?
it just looks very dim compared to the pause play led
Yo guys
is the arctis 1 any good
I know its bass is bad but is it worth getting?
Yo I’m trying to buy a new headset but every headset I select says to notify me because they’re not available in my region although I live in California are they like sold out or something
Pretty much everything on the website is sold out after the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales events as far as I know
Do you know when they accept orders because my mic broke and need new ones rn
If it's just maintenance it should only be a day or two. Orders will probably resume on Monday but go on break again for Christmas then resume the next week
Just a guess, of course. I don't work for SteelSeries or anything
does anyone know where th i can get different keycaps for my apex 100
dont get it bro you'd b better off getting astro a10's
Just updated my steelseries engine 3 firmware and now my audio for my series x is very faint. anyone else had this problem? something i can do to get it back to where it was?
may have something to do with the companion app
Hi! my steelseries apex 7 tkl keeps bugging out and breaking every 5-10 minutes when it just doesnt respond to any of my keys and the lights keep flashing. When i unplug it and plug it back in it fixes it for another 5-10 minutes and it does it again. I tried directly plugging it into my laptop instead of monitor, factory resetting it, deleting steelseries engine 3, and making a support ticket. Can someone help this is really annoying.
i just reset my pc to an earlier version of windows that seemed to be the only fix.
it literally just did it again im so done
reinstall your drivers and steelseries software
if that doesn't work contact support
hi, my rival 110 stops working from time to time. it locks randomly (like aimlock) when im moving the cursor around. how can i fix it or clean it
how do i set up a macro to open youtube for example on the apex pro tkl
Any idea why i cant use ''Artic pro wireless game''? it works sometimes if i unplug the USB and then it goes back to no sound after a few seconds?
on PC ofc
What?
I get no sound on ''Artics Pro Wireless game'' but on ''Artics Pro Wireless chat'' it works flawlessly
doesn't work anymore. yesterday it worked but now it's turned off and I still hear myself
Yo can anyone help me ?
I just got a steelseries rival 3 mouse and I'm running on mac. My problem is that macros and lighting don't work at all. For example, if I want to turn off the rgb lighting, it doesn't change anything, it stays on the default lighting mode. Please help
is there steelseries engine 3 on mac?
@serene goblet where are the drivers i reinstalled steelseries engine 3 and the drivers i found are on sketchy websites plus its not being recognized on device manager its just "hid device" 4 times
@prime jungle Using the search functionality in Windows, search for "Device Manager" , open it
Find the device in the device tree under 'human interface devices'
Right click and select "Properties".
Click "Driver" on the top toolbar and select "Uninstall'' at the bottom.
Ensure the checkbox is checked and uninstall the driver.
Unplug your device and reboot your computer.
then just plug it back in and let the driver reinstall
can someone help me, my arctis 7x is just broken, i connect it to my phone and it just beeps randomly and then i cant hear anything (it keeps beeping but sometimes it just doesnt beep for a bit and i can hear everything, but then it just starts beeping and i dont hear anything)
Is there anyone here experiencing issues with the latest steelseries engine 3 firmware update? With the lack of optical port on the Series X I was using companion app to get Xbox party chat to my stream. After the update any and all Xbox sound is extremely low while using the app and almost unplayable with my genre of games being FPS.
Can I revert back to the last firmware?
since the GG update yesterday my arctis 7 have had sound issues on prolonged sounds, the best way i can describe it is that, for example, in a long note in a song their voice sounds like it going up and down in pitch slightly for the duration of the note.
the issue is persistent now regardless of what version of GG is installed and installing Engine 3 instead of GG hasn't helped either, any help would be appreciated
I'm having an issue with my arctis 7 where sometimes it'll just turn off and when I turn it back on I wont hear any audio. When this glitch occurs it prevents my blue yeti from working until I unplug the headset, Another thing that happens is when this glitch occurs it completely breaks media playback. Anyway to fix this or is my headset faulty?
update windows and have you got SS engine installed might need a update
might be several people having issues with the gg engine and acrtis 7
Yeah, I have it installed. It worked for like half of a day then randomly it cut out and nothing works now
My windows is fully updated
create a suport tiocket on there website
Alright, Thanks.

Hello I have a Steelseries Arctis 7 headset and it is where I wanted to charge it. Something broke off inside. Now, of course, I can no longer charge it.
Is there any way to fix this? I am very happy with the quality of the hearing.
thanks in advance
hi guys ive so ive bought the arctics pro with game dac and noticed there is a slight ticking noise. anyone know how to fix ?
So i just got a rival 600 but it wont work Do you know what i should, because i plugged it in downloaded the app but it just wont do anything
I got the 600
what's your OS?
Windows 10
OK. You may need to restart the computer to complete the Engine installation, leave the mouse plugged in while you do that because often times the computer will selfcheck the drivers when it boots
lemme know if you still have issues after
hmm ok
You will need to go into Start, find the Device Manager or the Control Panel, and see if it shows up
Mine shows up under Devices and Printers as a keyboard, due to the extra buttons
Ok. If you go into Device Manager, you will want to look under Human Interface Devices to see if you can find it
Do you have a yellow warning sign anywhere saying "Device Descriptor Failed"
maybe under USB?
No lights, nothing
Nope
cables are plugged in all the way on both ends?
either you got a bum cable or a dead mouse then
I think dead mouse
ok
sure, no problem
i fixed my issue from earlier, turns out if the game/chat slider on the arctis 7 is in a certain place it makes the sound go a bit funky
Hello! I have an issue with my brand new Artis 5 headset. The mike doesnt work
If you can help me, please DM me because I dont receive notifications from servers! Thanks!
You sure it's not muted?
Yes, thought im not sure how to tell if the button is on mute or not
if it's anything like mine, it should have a red band that that you can see when the button pops out when muted
Otherwise the button should be flush
does red mean muted?
yeah
alr then its not muted
ok. you have SteelSeries Engine 3 installed?
No, i do not
You'll need to install that to change the LED settings and things, I really recommend you use that
it should also automatically install the drivers
ok ill do that. Thanks!
Sure thing
does anyone know to open a website with a macro
a friend of mine is able to input a link with razer synapse im wondering if we can do the same with apex pro
I have a macro set to open YouTube on any browser, but all it does is type the URL for you and then hit enter
you still have to have the address bar selected and the browser open tho
or that
unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to open any applications with the Apex Pro macros. For some reason my Rival 650 and my SS MSI per Key keyboard have the ability to open Engine apps and that sort of thing, but the Apex Pro does not. I contacted Support about it because it's weird for them to leave it out, they said the function isn't currently supported for whatever reason.
I look at both
My Rival and the MSI keeb both have this, Apex Pro doesn't
oh wait nvm I found it
🤦♂️
lol not even official support could tell me where it was
@tulip totem thanks a bunch man
Hello, I have a Steelseries arctis pro wireless but it seems people hear me low most of the time. The sound of mic is already set at 100 and at max in the calling program (discord) detection is at -75 and krisp is activated
you run Windows?
yeah win10
it's maxed too
Tell other people to get a SS headset with Chatmix so they can hear you better
lol
IDK what the reason could be
you use it via USB, right?
IDK I don't use it since the SS mic is already so good at cutting noise
lol when i talk in the mic
not really depending on discord and krisp then i guess
I am gonna send it back if I can

Has anyone any problems with their Arctis Pro Wireless for the PS4 slim lately ? My headset was working flawlessly then one day it just decided not to connect to the PS4. The headset itself is fine when plugged in to pc or using the Bluetooth function. But for some reason the PlayStation isn’t detecting it. I’ve tried them in a different PlayStation and still have the same problem so I’ve ruled out it being a PS issue. Can anyone offer any advice please ?
yo guys blackshark v2x or astro a10
or arctis 1
help
there is no S/N on my rival 650
just blank
how am i supossed to do the rma now
it used to be there but it wears off
what should i say to support ?
you still have the box it came in?
the number should be on it
Please I need help with my rival 3
Oh so yh that'll probably be the sn
yeah
Never seen such a long one
you should probably delete that picture since you can get the serial from the barcode
:)
i deadass had to make another steelseries account
for that rma
bcz they wouldnt reply to me
he sent one message
i replied an hour after
and since then nothin
waited for like a solid 8 days and decided to make another account
¯_(ツ)_/¯
arctis 1
Is there a secret key combination on the Apex Pro keyboard to lock and unlock my Windows key?
Mostly looking for an unlock 😅. Both the left and right Windows keys aren't working today
does anyone know how to fix a buzzing noise in the microphone of the arctis 5's on ps4 ?
Why is my System Monitor turning off constantly?
It turns on for about 10 seconds until it turns itself off
I'm using a freshly installed version of Windows 10 too, not sure why it's doing that
Arctis 1. Insane value.
You can’t buy the mic by itself due to it being built into the headset. So you’d probably have to get a whole new headset if it’s not working or get an external mic. You may be able to RMA the product at https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us if need be
I found the blackshark v2x for five dollars cheaper than the arctus, typically its 15 dollars more.
is it still the better choice?
You talking about the Arctis 1 or Arctis 1 Wireless?
For the normal Arctis 1, the value is amazing. For $50, there’s nothing like it.
For the Arctis 1 Wireless, it’s even more convenient and better value. For $100 you get full wireless on all platforms. Great sound. Great comfort. All around probably the best value headset for $100.
But considering the BlackShark goes for $60-70, I’d say you should go with the normal Arctis 1
talking about wired but thats the thing, the blacksharks are going for less than the arctis atm its 20 dollars off
Is the Arctis Pro Wireless compatible with Xbox One S? Ping me if you have an answer, please.
No but the arctis 9x is probably the best option for xbox
Thanks 👍
And it is still wireless
I have an xbox but I also have a pc and I was just wondering cuz I plan to get the pro wireless headset
Says on the steelseries store that it's compatible via USB
Ig I could've just looked here for my answer about xbox xD
Thanks anyway m8
Yea its not as good on pc but it works
They designed it for xbox
I use the headset and its amazing
And it lasts a long time ive had it for a year and it works as good as new
And the battery is good so i reccomend it to anyone that plays xbox
Or any of there headsets
bro can somebody help me with my apex 7 tkl supports taking so long to respond on the website and ive been trying everything
Whats wrong
for some reason it just randomly doesnt respond to any key presses and the lights flicker on and off
the only temporary fix ive had was to unplug and replug it
ive literally tried everything
Yo wassup
i uninstalled the drivers then reinstalled, restarted my pc, rollbacked my windows to an earlier version, uninstall steelseries engine 3, and its only temporary\
Oh
it happens again at random
factory reset it
i tried
I think it might be broken
Contact support becuase those are the only solutions
Or get a new one
It could be a USB issue
when i got it it was working perfectly and like 4 days ago it started happening
Have you tried a different USB port?
i have both usbs plugged into 3.0 ports on my monitor
yes
tried plugging it into my pc too and it has the same issue
how long would an RMA take since its around christmas
Im not sure
Try wiggling the cable to see if that has any effect. If it does then it's a faulty cable
right now im using it to type its working currently
Yea or a broken keyboard
ill try that the next time it does it
Ok
Well try to contact support about it and see what they say
It might take some time but you should get a new one

Probably at least 2 weeks, right now the warehouses are shut for maintenance and they are all working from home, meaning that it might take some time
idek if its a hardware or software issue bc restarting the pc and not touching the keyboard fixes it
also when i rolledback windows to an earlier version it worked perfectly for a day
I would say hardware
Might be a finicky microchip in the keyboard
Yea
at first i thought it was like a power issue or somethn but ig now
not*
it just happened
wiggling it didnt work
i had to unplug and replug it
Yeah, sounds like a faulty chip
do i have to pay for an RMA or no
how can i check if i got this under warranty
Did you buy direct from SteelSeries?
ok
Probably a rare defect, a new one shouldn't have the issue
And if it does then you know it's the PC not the keeb
the reason why i think this might be a software thing is because when i first got it it never did this but as soon as windows auto updated to a newer version this started to happen but when i rolled back to an earlier version it also did it
i saw a post on reddit w someone with a similar issue and he had to reset his windows
It may be a driver conflict
That is and was one of the biggest issues with any windows update
tbh i dont even think an RMA would be worth it because if i dont have a keyboard FOR A MONTH its going to be worse than just replugging it in
i might just reset my windows tbh if it gets that bad
like full on reset
Reinstalling the OS from scratch might be the best solution
Also gives you a chance to clean off any old programs and stuff that's piled up and doesn't get used
Try plugging it into a different device and see if the issue is still there
If so its a hardware issue and if not than its a software issue
Amd then reinstall the os entirely like he said
@prime jungle ^^^
the only other device i'd think would work that i have currently is like a switch lmfao
i dont have an xbox or anything
wait
ill try to play fortnite on it and see how long i have to play before it does it again
im going to try rn ty for the ideas
so far the keyboard lit up and there’s no flickering so far
the only compatible game is fortnite and i need to wait for it to download since i barely touch my switch
i’ll need to wait
i have an old dell but for an actual laptop no
like by old i mean like 2003
but so far with no use the keyboard didn’t shut off
shit i think i need an adapter for switch
lemme check around my house
i have an issue with my arctis 7. i’ll let it charge but if it’s off while charging and i unplug it and turn it on, the headset shows low battery. i’ll have to plug it in and turn it on and then it will show full battery. anyone know why?
I have the arctics 7 the charging port if fired do u known where i can it repair?
visual bug, your battery is charged. when you plug it in to charge just leave the headset on if the light color bothers you
Hello, I have a question, why I cannot update Steelseries GG from version 0.12.1, it keeps saying I have an update and it doesnt start install when I run it
I had this problem too. I uninstalled, reinstalled, then uninstalled and reinstalled again. It fixed my problem. If it doesn’t work, go to https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us
I had this problem too. I uninstalled, reinstalled, then uninstalled and reinstalled again. It fixed my problem. If it doesn’t work, go to https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us
idk in first case why do i have steelseries gg instead of just steelseries engine
If I were you I’d RMA it on their website and try to get a new one https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us
lol
I mean i dont even use the clipping thing
You could just uninstall it and download Engine?
does the steelseries gg have any impact on game performace at all?
for some reason im having high pitch sounds come out of my keyboard but if i turn down the lights all the way it stops?
Yo guys hyperX cloudX or arctis 1 or blackshark v2X
Hi All, I've owned the Arctis 7 but due too a issue with the mute button I switched to the Arctis Pro Wireless.
Is the fit of the headphone different ? The pro feels smaller and higher on the ears (and different earcups (they feel smaller)) ?
Can some one help me with this ?
I'm still in my 30 day trial so thinking about ordering the 9 instead because I liked the bluetooth
My arctis 7 is making crackling noises on my ps4 help
On the 3 numpad key, the R in the RGB isnt working... So if I set the RGB to that specific key solid red, it just turns black, however blues and greens work fine, but for a colour like purple I get blue because there's no red. Where can I get this repaired/replaced?
Hi! just a question about my Arctis 3 Bluetooth headsets. I plug it in but there is no charging sound or change of the led light. Any tips? Is it actually charging?
i'm gonna get an arctis 7 wireless, what's the difference between the 7 and 7p? i own both a pc and a ps4 and i just wanna know what the difference will be on pc if i get the 7p. i've searched it up but i haven't seen too much about what the actual difference will be on pc
you might be doing something wrong, someone else can probably tell you what, as i don't own a steelseries keyboard. if it's just broken, you can likely get it replaced from the place that you got it from, depending on their refund policy and if you have a warranty
I have the apex pro tkl and now my media key isnt working to pause and play things
happening to me on my old headset, for me, it's because the wires are breaking
Recently purchased an arctis pro wireless and the oled display seems to have issues when I enabled discord integration for messages. The screen will occasionally invert vertically or becomes completely unreadable. Sometimes the screen scans too. Only fix I’ve personally found is power cycle the transmitter (or full reset if the screen is visible). Is this happening to anyone else? Any suggestions?
you might've set it up wrong, or it could be a defective product and you should be able to get it replaced wherever you bought it from
It works fine most of the time. Thought it was fixed with the most recent engine update but here it is again
So its the headsets fault right?
My Arctis 9 wireless headset keeps making an annoying buzz sound sometimes when it's connected to my phone by bluetooth. I have all latest updates installed & amplifier isn't causing it.
The buzz sound doesn't happen at all when headset only connected to my pc via wireless transmitter.
I already got new pair from finnish electric store after they and steelseries support both figured out that previous pair shouldn't have this problem but this new pair has exactly same problem. Is the whole product batch defective?
My arctis 7 is making cracklig noises on my ps4 help!!
My arctis pro mic is playing my game audio even when its muted
my friend is able to hear my game and music on discord
Hi, everyone
I have problem with my headset
the problem is my headset is NOT show up in engine 3.11.14
show me like this
how are you connecting it @frank wasp
thanks, ive submitted a ticket to steelseries over this because its probably something that can be repaired quite cheaply and i dont mind paying 20 bucks for working RGB
I am having a similar issue with my Apex 7 and I contacted support and they wanted to RMA the whole thing. I am outside of my warranty period so I am out of luck (unless of course someone from Steelseries would like to do me a solid and help me out on this) but that is what I would do if I were you.
I may just retire the apex 7 and get the next model up but it is indeed frustrating
When is the warehouse available again?
thank you i found the issue is my headset is arctis 3
perfect
For some reason, Steelseries lubes their TKL version of their Apex pro instead of their full sized keyboard... I have the Steelseries Apex Pro.
Currently, my space bar is very clacky and its annoying my a little... I was thinking of lubing the stabilizers but I don't have any lube. Are there any alternatives to lube such as hair serum or anything else I can find instead of lube? Ping me for any answers
so anyone know how to uninstall a driver from a transmitter
support have really messed me up...
@tender rapids np
@normal stratus most likely, but there might be other issues that could possibly be your fault, check with steelseries and see if you can get official support
I have an arctis 7 driver stuck on an arctis 7p transmitter contacted support about a month ago and they basically sent me the wrong headset driver which screwed up my transmitter and I can't get a replacement due to them being out of stock...
trying to see if I can force a bluetooth driver onto my transmitter so when I plug it in instead of saying "Arctis 7" it says "Qualcom" then the steel series engine should pick it up as having a fault and give a repair option.
though atm whenever I plug in my transmitter my computer thinks its an Arctis 7 transmitter...
so now steel series engine just detects it as a transmitter for the wrong headset.
wish there was sort of way I could force a driver on it but the way steel series have their software setup makes that impossible for me
So it seems my issue is firmware related and not driver
which would explain why whenever I plug my transmitter into any type of PC it comes up as the wrong transmitter in the steel series engine.
How would I go about getting Steel Series drivers for the Arctis 7p
since it's automated...
Hello, my Arctis 5 doesn't change colors anymore, it just stays a blue color. PrismSync works fine but I prefer using the gear settings over it because I don't want all my devices to be the same color. I've uninstalled GG and I've unplugged and re plugged back in the headset but the color still stays the same. I'm really unsure how to fix this
anybody try to use their arctis pro wireless on an xbox series s yet?? im still struggling to find the right method or should i just bin these expensive headset and just wait til I have money for a compatible one?
I haven't tried it yet but worst case you can use the included cable and plug it straight into the controller
ahh true the mobile audio connector works and it seems like it picks up the mic too. So I guess I need to bring my controller with me to the toilet when I need to pee. truest form of wireless gaming
💩
idk why but i was checking out a the software and i was checking how the clips work and it stays like this
and i even loaded up minecraft, and among us
plz help
Wondering whats the other keys' switches that aren't Omni Point
Red QX2
thanks m8
bruh
Yw
Hey everyone, I've been having a bit of trouble with rgb on my Apex Pro 7. The J key is always a different color and I facotry reset it and nothing changed
I’ve had my Arctic pro wireless for a month or 2 and I put the battery in the charging dock and the battery icon didn’t show up to mean it’s charging
Nvm it’s working now but sometimes it doesn’t charge when I put it in
Hello! I have a Rival 3 but it keeps getting stuck, how can I solve this problem ?!
btw i bought yesterday
how do you install the drivers for the Stratus Duo?
I recieved a chatmix replacement and it switched from pro to 5 
Hey so in the introduction of Apex pro they said we could control or music like from spotify or something i can't find it on apps or on tthe oled itself has it been patched i heard people saying it was for the 7th apex
Hey guys, someone has idea about FN keys on laptop to put working in SS Keyboard?
The spotify functionality got removed due to problems with spotify I believe
everyday my mic sidetone turns on, but says it is turned off. then i have to mess with the settings a lot until it finally stops, but the next day its turned on again
Have you made a support ticket about it?
ill do it right now
Great :)
Just keep in mind that you'll most likely have to wait a while
With covid, christmas and all
Okay thanks
You're welcome :)
🥸
Is it getting stuck down or up when you click it
I don’t have personal experience with the R3 so I have no idea. I’d create a support ticket and RMA it if I were you. Better to get a new product than live with a potentially flawed product after you fixed it.
so i have a rival 110 and ive been having this issue where it freezes randomly for a fraction of a second - not very long, but enough to throw me off in game
ive determined its an issue with my pc but have no clue where to start, any ideas?
yes i did
thanks
is there a way to thisable the battery warning on the headset or only make it beep twice
or change the sound of it
to sth less penetrating
hi, i'm having trouble turning on the screen on my Apex Pro keyboard. Can anyone help me?
the OLED screen?
yes
have you got the engine?
yes
go to the OLED screen tab on your keyboard and check there is a GIF uploaded
hi im trying to play red dead redemption 2 but for some reason i can hear any sound. Apperantly its becasue im using a artic pro wireless headset. Does anybody know a solution for this problem??
does it work on other stuff?
yes it does but on forums i red thta people are having the same problems but i couldnt find a solution
i tried turining it of and back on but it iddnt help
oh
it is totally off
umm i think that would be a problem with the hardware, might not be, but i would advise emailing #official-support
damm oke ill try that thanks
to be honest until a few hours ago it worked perfectly then without having touched anything it does not turn on anymore
yh idk, sorry
no problem thank you
Hello Guys
Hi all, anyone have an Arctis 9x that stops charging? Looks like wires curled up inside charging port
@reef dragon send a picture if possible
Hmm, hard to get it in a pic it is such a small opening
I'll try
You can just see on the R side of the port a curled up copper wire
idk bout your issue but I have another i can fix
Your headset hanging in the back please dont hang it by the elastic strap lower that below the hook thing and rest it on the metal part
my numpad 0 just reacts as like a toggle hold left mouse click even though it is set to numpad 0 in the launcher
why is my rival 300 wireless blinking pink
i have changed batteries 3 times
i dont think this is the problem
it feels like it just doesnt like me
Sometimes they dont
Theres a dongle right
yepp
try re seating it in another usb
like if you have a usb 3 port
instead of 2 may work better
it hasnt worked on any of my usb ports
it worked fine for like a week
but then i dropped it onto the couch from like 1 feet and it started blinking
Can user support be helpful if you find a monster
is there a problem using the monster?
😁 That the lab
I dont know much about it I use the rival 600 but if it has batteries check them swap em around and maybe try restarting the mouse cause on some you can do that by holding the dpi button
yeah
@graceful vine how long have you had the mouse
about 2-3 week
Oh
Dang its still a virgin
Wtf
lol
It is
Try to contact support maybe
ive had my mouse 2 years
is ear a new measurment of time?
xd
ill have to write that down
i think its weird how there is nothing saying why its blinking pink
ive had my headset for like a year in a half or so
you would think someone would know why
Wouldnt want the government to steal it
yeah i looked it up didnt see anythin
you should just put it out of its misery, try throwing it at a wall may fix your problem
Lmfao
@graceful vine i would say contact support and you may be eligible for a replacement
Or just throw it
It always seems to work
yeah i say (dont) throw it always seems to take care of it
@graceful vine where did you order it
takes you away from the current issue
a local store
Nvm
in norway
On the support
so i have a rival 110 and ive been having this issue where it freezes randomly for a fraction of a second - not very long, but enough to throw me off in game
ive determined its an issue with my pc but have no clue where to start, any ideas?
when my mouse was working i had the same problem, i connected my mouse to an extender usb so it went further away from other signals and such, and it almost completely stopped after this
@pseudo oxide
yeah
Reason: Bad word usage
I just bought the Arctis Pro Wireless today, excited as I had heard a lot of good things about them. The audio is amazing, but the mic quality is a big turn off, it sounds like I'm purposefully trying to give people permanent hearing injuries in the live mic preview and the discord mic preview. I don't know if I just expected too much, or if I'm doing something wrong. Help?
really?, i have the arctis pro = gamedac (the wired one) and the mic isnt super good but its really decent for a built in mic, no one ever said it sounds bad or anything
if anything go to the base station (the box thingy where the batteries charge) go to the settings on the base station
i think theres a little button besides the big volume button
hold it down for a few seconds untill the menu opens
find the audio tab
select it by pressing the volume button in
and scroll to the mic volume somewhere
and turn it down
/ up
thats all i can think of
if u still have the user manual u can probably find exactly how to do it
idk if its the same on both dacs or not
but its the same idea
lowering / raising mic volume
i use my mic volume on the game dac on 5
when im not using my dedicated mic
which is why you should always watch reviews of the product you're about to buy, also it's wireless, the world isn't there yet where you don't have to sacrifice the bandwidth for a mic for sound and vice versa
if you're using bluetooth, it can't carry high quality audio and mic at the same time
so it kills the mic quality
I have just bought the Arctis 1 Wireless and have come across 2 problems.
- If i plug the microphone in the headset it gives some signal that it is plugged in but when I talk it doesn't do anything.
- When I wanted to download the SteelSeries Engine it downloaded perfectly fine. But when I wanted to start installing it on my pc the setup program needed permission from the pc, which i gave, but after i did that it didn't do anything. Not in task manager not in nothing.
I have already opened a support ticket but they want me to return the headphone when i think, if I can get to download the SSE I can fix the mic.
Does anyone know how to fix one of these problems?
I did, and in every single review they said that it was an amazing mic for a headset, not mic with constant loud buzzing an popping.
I've had this Arctis 9x for about a year now and sometimes it will just randomly turn off. It doesn't really bother me too much but it's weird. I'll be watching netflix or something and the headset will turn off
i've had this issue with my 7, even if something was playing in the background, i just turned off the option for the headset to shut down on its own
Right, that is so weird
yup
but that was the easiest fix i could think of on the spot
so i rolled with it
im just glad that option exists, unlike other headsets
Thanks for the help, going to pick up a stand alone mic today so thats that. But I do have one more problem. I have two EQ configs, one for gaming, one for casual use like music and show, but whenever I switch to the other one it automatically switches back after a bit.
anyone know how to increase the sidetone more with the arctis 7? got mine turned up to max and i can only hear my voice when i turn the volume up all the way
Hello does anyone know a fix to my problem? im using the steel series rival 600 ive had it for a couple months now and just like 5 days ago it started to bug out what I mean is that after it being on a usb for like 10 mins it would dissconnect itself and I would have to move usb slots it didnt bother me much but now its all of a sudden whenever I plug it into something it says device not reconized ive tried a diffrent mouse on my laptop and it worked. Please someone help me
Please someone help me it would mean the world
he guys so so my arctics are picking up mouse clicks how to i eliminate background noise ?
Here's a dumb question. How do I update the GG app, without redownloading it from the website?
Is it possible to use aux and the steelseries box at the same time when i set the aux in it turns the headset off.
any1 know how to fix steelseries engine not affecting arctis 7 at all?
and surround sound 7.1 not working
I'd imagine that's the only way to update drivers for anything on a computer. You can't get an update from thin air 
Glad to see we've got a comic in the audience.
Oh dear
does any one know when the Steelseries website is going to open up again
it says that there warehouses are temporarily closed for routine maintenance
maybe new year but who knows nothings been said yet
Thx
np
Should I get Wired or Wireless? @proper thunder
i prefer wired but up to you
There is no 650 one
i like the 710 thats what i got now
Hey everyone I'm still having some trouble with my apex 7
The J key is still occasionaly a different color and its really frusturating
check in the illumination tab in the engine that ALL of the keys have the same illumination settings
yah its all keys, i've even tried a factory reset
So most of the time that this happens is with reactive layers and Gradient effects
Even with a single color its still slightly off
Most of the times its just a completly different color. With the single color its like a darker varient of the color
Oh no I didnt see that
What does it mean if my Artis 5 Wired Headset's mike is glowing red?
Your on mute if red not sure about glowing red
this is very weird, when i first boot my pc my steelseries headset and mouse light up but when windows loads they both shut off
the mouse seems very glitchy as shown in the vid i have attached
try uninstalling engine and reinstalling it maybe
alright
but make sure to backup your profiles first
ok i will try that now
thanks!
i uninstalled and rebooted but they still are not working :(
alright reinstall it
make sure that in the software the lighting you want is the default profile
pretty sure on a restart it always uses the default one
im too lazy to type this out again so heres a screenshot
i have managed to fix it
somehow plugging all the devices into a usb hub has resolved it
weird
Yep probably back open in New year
i wanna get the apex pro for my friend but every time it arrives during january
i check everywhere and its the same thing
That's because everything is backed up with tons of holiday orders right now
oh right
Can someone explain why all of a sudden when I get my Arctis 9x when I’m in a call it mutes everything but the call

Hi! i just bought the ARCTIS 3 BLUETOOTH, and i tried to connect it but the sound tab called ''Headphones (Arctis 3 Bluetooth stereo) doesnt work, my audio is shitty af now
How can i fix this?
Is there a program i can use the edit the sound that comes out of the headset?
Which headset do you have?
Arctis 3 isn't compatible with the SS Engine, but you should be able to change it through windows settings
I have an arctis 3 myself
Lemme check
Alright I got it. Are you on windows?
yes
Is that the only change i can make?
if you're honest, is the music quality good for you?
I'm fine with my sound quality, but I never turned that thing on. I tried it, but I could only hear noise from the back of my headphones for some reason
okay

Hey guys, anyone got an idea when orders can be taken again? Need to order my areox 3 wireless before the end of the year (:

F,
I need it before new year.
Hi all, my family bought me the Apex Pro for Christmas but accidently bought the us layout instead of the UK layout. Can this be changed with a new keycap set or is there more to it?
whats the difference between them?
@loud timber u can just return it and buy the same one in uk without any loss?
A few subtle differences, the @ is in a different place on the UK one, the enter key is different, backslash is in a different place etc
@tender rapids it was bought online and the UK version is showing as out of stock so not an option unfortunately
@loud timber wait?
or i mean if u want new keycaps anyways just buy new ones
and change it in settings if that works
in the windows settings thing
Well that's what I'm asking, if it's just a case of changing the caps or if the switches would need changing
have u taken it out of the box?
