It's simple, then say "Windows and Mac", not PC and Mac.
But I'll try to get Engine run on Linux then
99% of people use Windows on their PC, not Linux
Which is not true
Maybe not 99, but the vast majority of PC users are not using Linux
Windows has a 75% market share lol
Yes, and? XD
Considering that every software and game I use and play performs better on Linux with only one exception being Adobe Software, I'm not gonna use Windows LOL
And that's your choice, but the vast majority of people still use Windows
I mean SteelSeries wouldn´t have to do anything if their software was open source
Also I'm not arguing with you on whether Linux performs better with a lot of software, it does. But SteelSeries doesn't nattily support it so you're going to have to find a workaround if you want to use it
Every software should be open source, but that just isn't how it works unfortunately
The only issue with that is
Hardware-Level Drivers don't really work through translation layers like Wine
There is no real workaround here
True, and it's not an argument of whether SteelSeries should support open source software, because they should, but they don't so the choices become very limited at that point
The Amazon Page literally just said "PC", so I was like "Yeah DTS:X works on Linux so I guess that would work"
The channel for 7.1 surround isn't even connecting
thats demonstratibly not true
For ME - it is.
For the games I play and the software I use, I get better results on Linux
you are aware thats like 98% more specific statement, right?
you virtually narrowed the field so much its pretty much faint praise 🤣
I talked about MY experience from the start
"I use and play performs better on Linux"
Lol
So I have an apex pro TKL and I want to buy an apex 3 I want this one just for macros. I am wondering if i am able to do that have an apex pro as a normal keyboard and then have an apex 3 fo my macros without any issues.
doesnt the pro also have macros
Of course
Yes.
Which is better? Apex 7 or Apex 5? And what are the differences from each?
Apex 7 gives you a choice of mechanical switches, while the apex 5 only offers 'hybrid' blues
Alright. Thanks!
I have steelseries mx500
It has cherry mx switches
And I want to know the spring weight
Does anyone know?
I checked the website it said 45 cn is that means 45 gram?
Hi! i have a msi gl75 notebook and I downloaded steelseries engine 3, but my laptop keyboard won't show up and there fore can't be configured
What should I do
Hey question! I order a pair of Arctic 9s and I have an email stating that they would be delivered April 23rd. My order history is saying its "Preparing for Shipment". Which receipt is the accurate one? This my first pair of Steelseries and I'm confused. edit: I completed the purchase on April 8th.
so i kinda destroyed the default SteelSeries logo on the OLED on my Apex 7, and when I use gamesense and it gets taken over it uses the marked up SSeries logo and not my custom gif, any fix?
either want it to use my custom gif or the unmessed up logo
i like how 90% of questions here go unanswered
steelseries support is terrible
fr
i'm never buying their products again
same
and theyre chinsy
learned the hard way
my left arctis 5 headphone stopped working
i like my steelseries mouse though
i like heavy mice
in just over a year some switches on my keyboard stopped working
same im looking for a new headset
i have the m750
literally scammed
i have a rival 600 i like it but the adhesive is trash
so i super glued it back to normal
yeah it is a good mouse
its sturdy
my apex 7 is just cheap though
it looks rlly nice
but its just
eh
software is a bit weird but its fine for me
god damnit
my headsets broke man
im so pissed
Are you from Europe?
what keyboard do you have?
I threatened SteelSeries with legal stuff because they didn't respond for weeks (since the EU has very good consumer protection) and they were so nice to respond in half a day to get my mouse repaired ^w^
do not buy steelseries products for anyone who is thinki ng about it
^^^^^^^ its a scam
yeah the only reason they responded is because you threatened
snapple what keeb is it
SteelSeries turned out to be a really bad company recently lol
because they cant dare have their brand look bad
if its the pro you can adjust it
m750, had it for a little over a year
Ok time to sleep got more work tomorrow lol
Gotta send my SteelSeries Headset back though :)
Bought it a few months ago but because they didn't hold right to the claim of "PC Support" they just have to give me a refund hahaha
Hey
Get a custom keyboard, always the best option (except if you don't want to get addicted to custom boards)
If you need some help DM me, I'll give you some help with it once I wake up lol
i think im just going to go for a cheap keyboard until my birthday or christmas, but thanks
maybe a redragon
lol
Idk if I should feel offended or call it preference
whats a good cheap brand?
I hate Redragons
gn
Is this possible or not?
alright thanks
Where else is better to buy instead of their site?
Amazon, BestBuy, Walmart, any local retailer that may have something you're looking for in stock
My Arctis Pro Wireless have just snapped. Any thoughts on alternatives that provide Wireless + Bluetooth? Seems only another set of extortionate Arctic Pro Wireless or ARCTIS 9 WIRELESS? I could go Corsair with the Dolby Atmos for Xbox Series X, but they don't allow me to take calls via BT simultaneously.
Hello. I have arctis pro wireless. the optical output wont work (i use optical in). do it need to setup someting to make it work?
Can i put a screenshot button in the apex7 tkl?/
Yeah
Where is it in the engine? I cant see it.
Print screen is under commands...
Hello, I have strange problem, My headphones is arctis pro wireless, when I use discord with echo cancellation together It's cuts off my voice. For this I installed steel series engine 3 and update my headphone firmware, then configured for "certified enabled" on discord. After that I see discord still cuts off my voice and I can't close echo cancellation because It's managed by certified device. When I use this headphones without steel series engine 3 and echo cancellation is off, It's slightly produce echo in background what sometimes is annoying. I understand echo cancellation cuts this voice and I want leave it on. But I still can't found why It's echoing. My computer has new windows installation what I setup yesterday. All configurations looks default etc. When I use microphone with "listen to this device" feature on windows, there is no echo and cut off as expected. I saw some posts on reddit what says discord experimental features causes similar problem. Then I close all experimental features, developer mode etc. and still same. Have anyone who faced similar problem?
or you could use the command win+shift+s to be able to crop and edit further
experimental features are not fully completed so you may run into problems like this? without the echo cancellation and just normal discord settings does it produce clean sound?
Nope, my last configuration is default discord settings (without developer, experimental features etc) and installed steel series engine 3 with latest update. Also windows updated as well.
All drivers etc are updated.
Currently I use my headphones from windows default device (selected arctis pro) then I can off the echo cancellation on discord. And with this configuration I can hear my echo like %3-%5 volume level and 100ms latency.
New info, with steel series engine 3 live mic preview I still can hear echo.
so the preview will give you the best audio without any aggregate settings, and the windows update may have caused a problem with the audio settings and caused a bug or whatnot with the microphone
is there a way to make arctis pro wireless less tight? i have been using arctis 5's and it was not tight. My head hurts from using arctis pro wireless
you should be able to slide the sides up or down depending on how tight you want it
and its still tight?
yea
you'd have to ask it may be a special product thing
okay
yea
I received an RMA code, but it isn't doing anything to the price of the product I'm trying to get an RMA for
I have the arctis steelseries pro wireless. and the base stastion has burn mark on the OLED screen. any clue how to fix it and prevent this from happning again
can I stop steelseries moments from controlling my OLED on my Apex 7 keyboard?
My headphones broke a month or 2 ago and I still haven't gotten my warranty request answered
What should I do?
These were headphones I got from warranty and they just stopped working again, no physical damage
why does my scroll wheel on my apex pro ,mutes my sound and not volumes up and down
i also cant use my my oled screen anymore
Have you guys encounter, steel engine won't sync with onboard device, it shows randomly on windows notification
Anyone knows why my arctis 7 audio quality so shit when connected with 3.5mm
Sound quality was good when i used it wireless, but shit when its wired
Im just lazy to charge it thats why i use it wired
anyone have any clue how long it normally takes to get your coupon code from an RMA? i gave all required images and proof a few days ago, no response yet. kinda sucks cuz im without a headset till the RMA goes through
hi i need some help with steelseries Moments, i doesn't recognise the minecraft.exe and i don't know where it is in my documents
for me it took up to 3 days after they validated that the pictures were good and that a code would be sent to me within 2 days of that email
are you playing a cracked version of mc, if so you will not be allowed to recognize it on moments
anyone with an apex 7 knows why the rgb doesnt work after powering off and powering on the pc afterwards?
replugging the usb doesnt do anything
nvm, it got fixed after like 3 factory resets
Have you guys encounter, steel engine won't sync with onboard device, it shows randomly on windows notification
I found the Apex Pro for $60 on Facebook Marketplace. The seller created his account one month ago and wants me to give him my address and claims he will cover the shipping costs. He has also offered to pay half and half. Is this wise?
Probably not
But I swear I could refund cause the Buyer's Protection policy? Even if it's a scam?
No idea.
I opened a ticket to RMA my QcK XL on March 9, got my code on March 31. (would have been sooner but I was away for a week so they put my ticket on hold till I got back and could do the warranty process). Placed the order on April 1 and it shipped April 21 with my delivery date being April 27.
It takes awhile, but just be patient.
help pls, my mic is not working and producing a static sound. can anyone help?
dm me if you know how to fix
Woke up this morning and my artis pro wireless game playback device isnt working, when i switch over to it i hear nothing. Also the program Steelseries GG is unresponsive.
I would appreciate a tag when there's a viable response given, thanks!
Are there any known USB compatibility issues with the gamedac?
When I join a discord voice channel, the audio will drop off and the gamedac starts power-cycling itself
It'll restart maybe a dozen times before landing on only having the GameDAC Chat device available
That and I get a device descriptor request failed on the USB\VID_0000&PID_0002\8&1123E247&0&3 device that goes with it
Also this
ive asked this before but im REALLY stupid]
How do you clip to Minecraft because i have noticed that some people have but I am not able too.
i might need someone to screenshare bc im just that stupid :)
sorry
(dm me becuase i respond to dm's a whole lot faster than server pings)
Is there a way too add more configs to my steel series engine 3 app?
The newest version of GG should have fixed the Minecraft issue, but if you're still experiencing it then In GG go to settings:
Game Detection
Add Game
Navigate to where your Minecraft install is
Double click on the Launcher and it'll add it to Moment's list of games
XD your the same person who helped me last time hopefully it works :)
@weak geyser thank you so much it works, when i heard that sound i was filled with glee :)
Why doesn’t the Arctic 7 charge? Everything’s in perfect condition it’s just sucking
So I have a steel series aerox 3, firmware is fine, charged it up, turned on pc mid way though just random lost connection, now won't connect. Also tried in 2 other pcs and still the same. Works fine when wired/Bluetooth, An no firmware prompt to say there is need of one.
So, it's been a couple of months and idk why i cannot load the giveaway site(specific game giveaway page) it's blank always
anyone knows why or any help?
My steelseries arctis 7 is fin
But it’s not charging
idk
why
it says it charging but it’s not going to green
Plz hel-
It’s fixed
Hello
with the Artics 7 can i use him with the usb cable ?
Or it's only for charging
if i use only the usb cable link to my computer
that will affect the batteries ?
You can charge them while in use, but there is also a wired connection you can use if you want
Okk
But i can if i want just use the usb connection ?
for use the headset and the microphone ?
is arctis 3 7.1?
heelppp
no it's Artics 7
Can I drag click on the rival 710?
I know you can on the rival 3 so probably
Anyone know why my apex pro headset doesnt show up on SS engine?
anyone know fix mic quality in artic 1 wireless
theres arctis headsets and then theres apex pro keyboards
nothing other than using something like a thin foam or a clip on pop filter depending on the issue
K ty for the help
anyone know fix mic quality in artic 9wireless
Arctis pro wireless*
Oops
Yeah for some reason it just doesnt show up on the engine
Btw you know why artic 3 don't show in ss engine
do you have the correct drivers? all of you
and before you try wireless please use it wired for like 5 minutes to let it get drivers if it needs
wired atleast once, then do wireless
and steelseries engine 3 has a built in trouble shooter aswell
yes i now but my mic not good
Cas you know ?
can come to genral voice
ok bro
i heard, it sounds okay are you connected via blutooth, usb, or aux?
on wireless
that can hurt audio quality quite badly
i dont know how to really help improve wireless audio that much
All of my friends tell me that the sound is not good
but using usb 3.0 or aux would help alot
if you can use wired, that would be the best help i can recommend
usb 3.0 is your best bet to get the highest quality
ok
i hope it works out for ya
is arctis 3 7.1
check general i got you

¯_(ツ)_/¯
anyone good with fixing pc parts
Yo My Steel Series Engine 3 is stuck on white screen what can I do??
the "w" key stopped working on my Apex 5 
already tried factory resetting it and reinstalling the engine
my bad. thats hat i meant
IIRC the apex 5 has removable keycaps, so maybe if you're gentle you can pull the keycap off and check if there's anything physically wrong with the switch
yeah, i tried that and nothing seemed to be wrong with it
it still clicks and feels like every other key
RMA
so i tried rebinding a key to "w" and that key i rebound also doesnt work. it works as the original key after i revert it though.
reinstalling engine doesn't reinstall the drivers, so try doing that? https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042875152-My-device-is-showing-as-Not-Connected-I-need-to-reinstall-Engine-
alrighty ill try
that also didnt work
it seems that when i rebind a different key to "w" and then revert the settings back, it acts as if im spamming w for a few seconds
what happens if you set the W key to "deactivated" and set another key to W, does that other key work?
hrm. that makes the key i set to "w" work now
i'm guessing it's still an RMA problem like Melker suggested, and the W key switch is stuck "on", so if you set other keys to W, the stuck on W key is overriding any input
yeah, i was hoping it was just a software issue. i do still have warranty since i got it about 5 months ago
thank you for the help. i really appreciate it! hopefully this is fixed in a timely manner lol
Some one please help me
don't ask for help just state your problem you encounter and if anyone have suggestion with will suggest or give you troubleshoot to fix the problem
should be a toggle in the capture settings
I have a config i have made and it doesnt apply the lighting on selection or at boot, i have to swap to a different custom config and then back to the other one
I updated my headset, and now it says PS4 on the box. but im on pc like huh
just change the source back to PC
use the wheel to access the menu on the box to change the input source
you have a video for it?
just click the wheel in, it'll open the menu
steelseries menu?
the menu on the transmitter box
dude
xD
click on the wheel?
If you have time right now you can help me but idk if you want to
i just feel like a idiot now
i didnt do anything to get this
here'a a video, it shows how to change the source (but you'd probably want to change it back to PC instead) https://youtu.be/cDtxk_5i2bc?t=86
thank u so much man
i still cant connect the headset tho
@tulip totem i hear it start but it doesnt show on the box
I fixed it!
Anyone know if it's normal for a new Arctis Pro Wireless headset to have multiple firmware updates that have to be installed consecutively?
can someone help me my steel series keyboard keeps shutting off for no reason and shuts off my rgb fans and my anything usb related
like out of the blue
its random
Do you know when abouts the Apex 5 Keyboard will be in stock, I have to have it by a certain date
Sign up for an email notification when it's back. No one here knows when products will be restocked
No one knows
Alright thanks anyways
Well did you tweet something at them?
no
literally
I wasn’t blocked like a week ago and since then I haven’t tweeted anything to them
then did u say something to them before?
So not really sure what to do at this point. I submitted a ticket yesterday with no response yet so I can't go off of that. But I've tried to do the steps provided by steelseries with no luck.
My artics pro wireless after a firmware update unpaired from the transmitter as required by the update, now after the update I am unable to repair my headset to the transmitter. I am holding down the volume click wheel for 6 seconds as the screen says and yet it does not pair. I have tried on and off for over 2 hours at this point including yesterday. I tried unplugging the transmitter and just using DC power while pairing, using several old firmwares to repair, clicking the volume wheel then holding it down, nothing seems to work.
If anyone has a solution I would very much appreciate it.
I recently bought a Arctis 7 and used the Steelseries Engine Software with it. Suddenly I had a whole slew of problems on my hands. My headset was working fine, but when I opened and used Steelseries Engine the whole headset would stop working and space out. I tried deleting Steelseries Engine, and all of the problems were suddenly gone. How is this possible? The software literally breaks my headset whenever I use it. How?
Is there any easy way to edit a keyboards key assignments quickly and easily in a text editor? The process of assigning each and every key is painful and impossible to copy between layers. I have gone looking for a configuration file so I could edit it with a text editor but I am coming up negative
any help would be appreciated
Hi, I'm sure this has been asked before but i havent found the thread as yet, i have an Apex pro and i'm having issues with game locking certain short cuts. I'm aware that pressing the steel series button and the windows key locks the windows key and Alt-F4, but how do i disable Alt-Tab as well? any help will be appreciated. Thanks
rivalk

So on April 9th I ordered I headset as a warranty replacement. It said the headset would 100% arrive on the 27th but today it was delayed until Friday. Has this ever happened to anyone? I wouldn't be so mad about the delay but it took FIFTEEN days just to ship the headset.
Everything from the website is delayed right now because they've been having issues with processing orders and issuing tracking numbers. I RMAd me QcK on the 1st and it didn't ship till the 21st and arrived yesterday. Just have to be patient
uhmm..? I literally bought it through the steelseries website, there is no "original retailer"
Reason: Posted a link
if you can, open the ticket in your browser and check that the region on the ticket is set to the right region
the country list is in alphabetical order so if something glitches then your ticket might be listing you from Argentina
nah it's set correctly to Denmark.
But first off, I have no clue what they're talking about. I can literally buy a new one from their site right now, so they shouldnt have any issue with shipping to my country.
And also kinda weird that they're referring me to the original retailer, which is themselves haha
My code from the Steelseries website for Chivalry 2 says it's expired on Epic? What's up with that? Feel free to ping me if you answer my question.
Hi, I just bought the arctis 5 and I downloaded the software but its not showing up anyone know why?
Hello, My Artic Pro Wireless keep switching between the Artic Pro Chat and Artic Pro Game and even switches to the Artic Chat Microphone. It just keeps switching or disconnecting and reconnecting on the Playback and Recording. Video Below To Understand.
Anybody know how in gods name do I clean underneath my key caps I have a apex 5 and I’m clueless completely
@limpid flower you should be able to just pull off the keycaps, I'd recommend buying a keycap puller to get the harder to pull keys and to make sure nothing breaks.
If something were to break what would be and won’t a puller scratch my keycaps
Most pullers just grab the sides of your keycaps and pull it up so they wouldn't scratch your keys. @limpid flower
and I personally have never broken my keys while pulling so i would guess the stem on the keycap itself that connects it to the key switch is most likely to break.
Ok guys, I don't know what else to do.. I've reached out to Steelseries CS multiple times about this and have received only one unhelpful response since April 13th. Long story short when i received my Arctis 9 headset in the mail i tried it on every system i had, PS5, PC, and Mobile using Bluetooth. The headset works great other than the included Microphone. None of my devices seem to register the mic. I have muted and unmuted to make sure and still nothing. I received a response from Drew at Steelseries stating " The microphone is highly directional, so it must be placed properly to achieve the best sound quality and maximize the noise cancellation. Ive further explained that I know how to use a headset but never got a response back... That was on the 14th... Any advice?
If I open my rival 3 mouse does that void warrenty?
anyone know if you can cancel an order on the steel series articis pro
Anyone know how to fix a Rival 600 out of the box not turning or registering movement on the screen but still being detected by SS engine?
i know this may sound stupid, but there are two holes under the arctis 3 that both look like mircophone places, try both of those holes out
how to stop this shitty static noise on the arctis pros
"best high end gaming headset" good one
whats causing it
whats causing what
if i knew what was causing it i would have fixed it
i just opened the things installeed the software and it still has this
try reinstalling the drivers, performing a system reset, etc
bruh i just installed the drivers lol
I'm using artic 5 2019 series. I was using old Steel Engine and when I check the app it says "not connected" to my headphones. I delete the app and install new app from steel series' site. GG I mean. But now, I can see my headphone at the engine page. Can you help me? https://prnt.sc/127oisu
The arctis 9 has an extendable mic that does not pick up any audio
Hello everyone, I wanted to ask you, I bought a mouse from SteelSeries today, and downloaded the SteelSeries GG program, it is necessary to register there, is it possible to use it?
Anybody know how to clean the keycaps cus I yoinked em out with my fingers
can anyone help me?
it sounds like your headset wasn't being detected before the update, and it still isn't after the update. is your headset connected over USB?
So on my arctis one wireless, it picks up my breathing and my talking and plays it back to me in real time. This is really getting on my nerves as i dont like my own breathing, amplified, played back through the headset. There is no delay, its instant
i think you can turn that off in engine/gg?
What is engine and gg?
Steelseries software
Yo
So when I play brawlhalla
I play full keyboard and some keys don't register
On Apex 5
for example press W and A then pressing . makes the . not register
Anyone know how to fix it?
I've asked for help on the server multiple times but I don't get any replies
the apex 3 and apex 5 don't have full rollover, meaning that you can't press multiple keys at once. it's just how the keyboard is designed and the only way to fix it is to buy a keyboard will zero key rollover like the apex 7 or apex pro
Isn't that what ghosting is supposed to be?
yeah it's the same thing. the apex 3/5 have anti-ghosting "zones" but it only applies to certain keys, like WASD and 1-2-3-4
if you try to press multiple keys outside these zones then they likely won't work
i've heard too many stories of people trying W + Shift + Enter to know there's no zero key rollover
I have an Apex 5 and I’ve never had keys not registering like that
It was like this when I got it a couple months ago and I stopped playing brawlhalla because of it
I would check on my board if I was at my house
try press w and a
But alas I am not
I was going to recommend that you contact #official-support about it to see if they can figure it out
I contacted them already
When did you do that?
10 minutes ago
It's not but it's been going on since I got it and I thought it might've been a software problem and just ignored it till I came back to brawlhalla
Is there a full list of compatible hardware for steelseries engine?
I only see the most recent hardware on the website
yes
I'm using it rn

Yo, anyone else recently not able to hear any audio playing through optical channel?
Using the Steel Series Arctis Pro wireless, was working if you selected 'PS4' under source. For some reason, today optical input source stopped working and have a feeling it's because they updated it for ps5 support.
charge it
I did that many times. I tried restarting PC, I tried restarting headphones, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling discord, I tried updating drivers, I tried basically everything
@young elbow do you happen to know what my issue is?
no clue
it has yellow glowing, wich menas it have 50% +-
discord sensed the headphones the moment I connected them.
just FYI, the optical output is only active when set to PS4 input. the assumption is that if you're using PS5 you won't have optical since there's no port on the console, so it's turned off when you set it to PS5 input. If you use optical (from your TV or AV system) then you should set the input back to PS4 mode.
@tulip totem I'm using a PC
after the update you may need to refresh the input source by setting it to another source (like AUX) then back to whatever input source you normally use
since it defaults to PS5 source after the update
K my problem is solved
my dial doesnt work

Hello guys, I have a problem with my headphones's Mic (ARCTIS 3) My microphone making annoying sounds.
god it sounds awful, those headsets sounds like 3$ earphones #archive-user-support
Tysm

can somone help me with my keyboard?
these give me tinnitus literally
this headset is not good for even talking with people nor does it handle pitch noises well
and whats the deal with steelseries engine software?
cant even type in 3?
just goes right back to 2
I got it, I had to click around different ways to get to the giveaway.
good
I have a question about the Steel Series Engine if anyone can help
what is it
I want to set my Aerox 3 mouse to only have 2 DPI settings is that possible?
Yeah but it has 5 settings
hm.
I could just make them the same but Its a bit of a pain to swap back and forth
I like 800DPI for mobas and 400 for shooters
maybe download a hotkey mod or something
thats not a bad idea
logitech has a button on a mouse where when you press it it lowers your dpi
its like 300 dollars though
so
lol yeah
Yeah I have a few spare mice and some of them have seperate buttons for increasing and decreasing DPI
so why not use those?
well, do you?
I still have to test it out in game but I do enjoy how lightweight it is
in my oppion you should return it and get a honeycomb geowolf on amaazon
You think so?
they are hella lightweight
I havent heard of that one
I always go with wired
ah so then get a honeycomb geowolf
even though the difference is one millisecond its still something that can make a difference
Im gonna send you a link to the amazon page i found If thats ok
let me know if thats it
sure!
does anyone know why steelseries shipping is so bad right now?
I ordered a headset like 13 days ago
and its still preparing for shipment

@fiery nova that support thing doesn’t help at all
Then click 'contact us' and get official help
Do you want guys have a phone number
They do not
bruh
but like I’m pretty sure this is an easy fix
by chance do you think u know ?
I’m pretty sure it’s not a broken thing it’s just something in the keyboard that like doesn’t let me type
If I did, I would have told you
This
No
Ok then
lol
ok
do you know what modes there are and to change it ?
i don't
which is why you should contact support
standard procedure is to make sure you're not using a usb hub, reinstall drivers, restarting computer
try normal troubleshooting steps
u got no 2nd keyboard?
nah
just buy a 5€ keyboard
Good evening.
I have a problem, unfortunately the headphones cannot play the audio of 2 programs at the same time, for example I can only hear discord and not the game I am playing.
I have Arctis 9x steelseries connected via bluethooth to the PC.
Has anyone happened the same thing?
Have you checked the gamechat balance?
yes
Just with bluetooth, or have you tried the 2.4ghz connection
I checked the audio from the control panel, the engine steelseries program and also within the game
Bluethooth and Cable
Try contacting official support then
ok thank you 🙂
this might be relevent https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us/articles/360057526291-Why-do-I-lose-Bluetooth-audio-when-taking-a-call-
Useful, unfortunately I have both profiles set to default but it doesn't work
Thanks anyway
how do you activate the engine services
What do you mean?
it say to customize the device settings I need to enable it
#archive-user-support The optical cable is kinda too short is there a bigger one i can buy??
it's a standard cable, just search optical cable on amazon
hey guys, currently thinking about buying the apex pro tkl as my corsair k63 wireless is dying (charger only works at an angle and makes noise, bad stabilisers) and the apex pro seems good for what i will be using it for. does anyone know if it is possible to 1. put in new stabilisers and 2.sorbothane foam mod it? skeptic about this since it has a screen which seems like it would be harder to remove to change the keycaps
also are gat reds still on the arrow keys or have they been changed to omnipoints, i play rigs of rods so i do use the arrow keys
the omnipoint is only on the standard QWERTY keys
Ah thanks
okay, i dont mind as theyll probably still be smoother than my cherry reds
so is it possible to take it apart and foam mod it, and change out the stabilisers?
cause there arent any tutorials on youtube so im not really sure at the moment
It might be possible, but could also void your warranty
i dont really mind warranty as long as its possible to do
well i mean its probably possible since apparently this guy managed to do it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iGUfIws3k4
ill try if i ever see the apex pro in stock
If I open my rival 3 mouse does that void warrenty?

Hey, one of leds in my rival 600 is shows wrong colour. Does anyone know how to reset the mouse ? Uninstalling / Reinstalling SS engine doesnt help

My brother has the arctis 9x and is using it on his computer but only the audio that works is the bad quility one. does anyone know the reason y

Hi! Does anyone know a fix for my Arctic 7? My mic is suddenly not working and producing a static sound. I can't find a solution on their website. So if anyone can help pls lemme know.
I had that happen to me, but the issue came from using a USB hub. Connecting it to a normal port solved the issue.
Bluetooth on the arctis 7s?
Hey! for gamesense, how can i set more game events? Like this:
Cuz currently this is what i have
Yeah
The arctis 7s only connect over 2.4ghz
Yeah, ik. I haven't had a problem with it until now.
So you don't really mean bluetooth then
Ah yeah.
What I'm saying is move the wireless dongle out of a usb hub if you are using one. Otherwise contact official support
When you did that, was it only the mic not working for you? Or the whole thing?
Just the microphone
Still didn't fix. 😦
As I said, contact official support
You don't have to ask that 4 times, if I knew I would tell you
does anyone know if a displayport 1.4 cable wil work with a 1.2 screen

Hi
I need to put the actuation of the spacebar and the capslock to 6 but I can’t without put the all of the caps to 6 why
does the arctis pro wireless work on an xbox series s with the 3.5mm port
Hello, I have a problem
The steelseries engine's enhancements are broken
My headphones don't get any sound quality enhancements, and my mouse feels like an office mouse
Like when I use the mouse on a PC without the engine
And somehow the headphones still have their added 100ms delay
Which I haven't figured out either; my Arctis 5s have a latency of ~100ms more than my cheap ones
my headset is not showing up on the engine how can I get it to work
Same after the GG engine install
what connection method? are you using any 3rd party passthroughs either?
2.0, 3.0?
3.0
does everything display correctly on engine?
Yes
Question.. tried to update my Wireless Pro and that failed.. now my Transmitter and headset itself is poobutt.. the Engine can see the Transmitter but my PC itself cannot
anyway to fix it?
and have you tried looking for device drivers via device manager
id try and use device manager and see if it has driver issues via corrupted install or smth
There have been no updates
I have
have that issue as well with my arctis Pro Wireless.
Already tried a few different versions of the old engine 3, for which I had installers, (13.6.2,, 13.19.2 and 13.20.0).
after that tried the GG one, doesnt help either.
the wierd thing is that the headset actually works as before for me, it just does not get recognized by the engine software anymore for some reason.
on a likely related note, I also get a usb device called (Unknown USB Device (Set Address Failed)) in device manager when the base is plugged in. and I have now tried all USB port on all my devices , all of them have the same issue with that wierd device and the steelseries engine refusing to recognise the device.
looking into the properties of that device I get this description by windows:
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
The USB set address request failed.
To any drivers since I last checked
things can still happen, id try atleast,
My mouse is also like hyperspeed
it cant see what it is,
Really weird
try and plug it in to something else you have and then put it back in your pc
anything else I can try before writing a ticket? also drivers are up to date according to windows uodate.
look what i just said
did you accidentally use your DPI swap buttons?
some mice have combo's like mine does
Nope
pressing m3 and m5/m6 can swap dpi
did it already. have the same set off issues on three different machines
I made sure
so is it gameDAC thats having the issues?
check your windows mouse settings
would try to contact support, as I should actually be still in warranty
make sure pointer speed is normal and check for mouse accel curve
It's no longer in the Sound Settings but under the unspecified?
if you mean the base station of the Pro wireless, that seewould be correct
Did that too
thats what i can reccomend, if your pc cant see it, thats ambiguous but, alot of pcs, id start to think its the dac
Darn mouse hates me, I'm planning to get new one soon
Scroll wheel started acting erratically back in February, have to use my touchpad
And it's not unique to my PC
check here in device manager
I need help setting up an arctis 9x headset for PC. I have the xbox wireless dongle and have tried everything but cannot get MIC to be recognized by windows or the headset to work at the same time as the mic. also the side mic will not turn off and the audio is lagged so it messes me up. I just spent way too much money on this for it to not workt he way it was advertised
Doesn't show up there anymore
try and locate it else where and run the troubleshooter
have you checked for the surface?
is there anything lodged with the wheel or the sensor?
Encrypt im trying to look into the issue a bit more, im seeing it leaning on SSE 3 alot
the funny thing is: the only actual issue is that it is not recognized by the engine, windows still recognises it well as ever before and it still works as intended.
aside from the very few thing that have to be done in the engine like equalizer tuning iirc.
my old tower and my laptop show the headset, but list it as not connected (they did recognize it at least 1 month before I first used the headset on the new tower),
my new tower doesnt list it at all
is that the old engine or the GG one?
i know most abt SSE 3 rn, havent got into SS GG yet
id just get SSE3
have the 3.16.2, 3.19.2 and 13.20.0
encrypt, try and check event viewer to see if theres anything in applications,
id get the newest one
dont send anything with personal pc info and shiz but make sure theres no errors, if there are and they are related to the gamedac lemme know
for the unknown set device adress failed device?
it was code 43 yeah?
accoding to device properties in device manager
this sounds dumb, are all the pins okay on your dac?
has anyone had issues with arctis 9x not recognizing a mic on windows 10?
the only ones that one has (are in the usb port and those are fine
ah, im trying to see if its a hardware or software thing
windows sees it right? but what as
whats it say on device manager?
thanks guys
check device manager, see if it needs updates, sorry im kinda multitasking atm
can you show me whats in driver and events?
and that is under USB contolers for some reason, but only shows up when using the base on any pc.
is usb 3.0 enabled in bios?
some need it enabled
driver
DAC may see 3.0 and try and send 3.0 signals and the usb female may expect 2.0, leading to data nto being seen
it is. or schould be as it I can get full usb3 speeds
ah if your getting your full 3.0 speeds your fine,
the port in the base cant phxysically do usb 3
mini b
mini b
wasnt exactly expecting that
the one from early digital cams
yeah the one that looks like it charges DSi's
thats strange to see on a game dac,
maybe try and use a 2.0 cable
interesting to know, opens up more possibilties
it is a USB2 cable. there isnt a USB3 version for the mini plugs
and the steelseries porovided one is usb 2
tried usb 3 and 2 on the old system, same results.
any problematic drivers in device manager?
will have a yellow warning thing
⚠️
like that
only for that device that only shoews up when the base is plugged in
for which I already sent the screenshots
while the base is plugged in, attempt to uninstall it via deivce manager, and restart your pc, it should reinstall the drivers automatically and possibly fix it
Encrypt does your headset connect to the hub?
from what ive seen the problem is that windows can see but cant understand what it is
somewhere somethings getting obscured so
define hub?
if you mean the base station/ batery charger with an oled screen?, then yes
Kk
dacs workin fine to see whats connected
mine shows the same as yours.. but I can no longer connect my headset also
refuses to connect to the station
asides from the uncooperative behaviour from the engine an that wierd device, tha whole headset still works as intended
Mine doesn't 😦
even reset the base today, didnt help.
bought it 18 minths ago iirc, but still in warranty as I am in europe
hey my rival 650 wireless flashes red for a firmware update but after installing the update it resets and makes me update again, how can i fix this
charged fully before updating?
it is wired
am actually waiting for the one joint toe break, it has been feeling a bit worn out for a year now, but still holdding strong
while updating
let me check
above 50% even if wired
not on iphones as far as i know
but not even a hairline crack so far
if its in warranty like you say id get a replacement,
yep
restart SSE3 and reconnect mouse via wire and attempt again
dont move mouse during install
idk if it says that but my old g502 hero made me do the same
ill try it
I just hope they help even though I did buy it one the webstore from gamestop for the price of 190 € back then, and not via steelseries directly
I've had this, you'll probably need to use a recovery tool
tell me how it goes
I can send it to you and some instructions if you want
that would be great but let me try the first method first so i wont waste your time
i suspect they wanted to get it out of the warehouse, as it was listed as sold out once I ordered it
warranty regulations are better in EU, 2yrs and better policies i believe,
yeah
id go with melker, hate to admit it but theyre much more experienced than me in here and they had the same issue
well too late for that uninstalled it
ah? uninstalled what
wha
damn
well
kinda different
that makes more sense
welp, you are kinda restarting it, just, taking it out first
yeahhh
hope it works though, and if it doesnt, contact melker abt the repair tool
ah?
it doesnt progress and doesnt let me exit cant see it in task manager too xd
2 years, worst case is that I have to deal with the gamestop customer support, although steelseries actually did link to them directly on the product page back then
oh ok its working
you using the windows uninst?
nvm
i think most if not all RMA go through SS directly
okay, good to know. i just hope they can replace it in a way that does not leave me without a headset for a day or more, am kinda depending on a working one in these times
you can use it w/o the dac right?
via bluetooth? right there was that totally forgot that option
imo worst headset i've owned lol
wire or bluetooth depending on model yeah
most of the problems i see in here are dac, or arctis
loist theheadphone jack cable sadly
is it a specialty wire or aux 3.5 ?
and cant easily replace it as trhe headphone jack on the headset is an audio OUT
Seem's to be.. and its super aggravating lol
the audio in is a special one
aux male? ON the headphone?
you dont see that every day
^
yeahh, people have rather unsavory things to say abt their headsets
can connect another pair of headphone to it, i think it was intended as a way to listen to music witha second person? i dont kow what they intended to to with that
i cant see the male port on it?
its under the Mic
can you show me
and are those aux?
