    QuickSet - Early Access

    • We are excited to announce that QuickSet now enables Sonar game audio auto-switching when you start up a game or manually change QuickSet profiles. QuickSet is currently available in early access to users with an Apex Pro keyboard. We are planning on rolling out QuickSet (that now includes Sonar integration) in multiple phases over the coming months as we move from early access to full release. This allows us to incorporate initial feedback on the experience and make any changes before we roll out to a larger group. The first phase is available for Apex Pro keyboard users. The second phase will include all SteelSeries audio device users. The final phase will include all Sonar users (regardless of if you are using a SteelSeries audio device or not). We know that this is a highly requested feature from our community and we look forward to making this accessible to all users in the near term.
