• Thank you to everyone for 100 GG updates! To celebrate GG 100, we have a few major updates to share with you.
• Updated Home page for audio devices: We’ve revamped the information displayed in the Home page for the Nova Elite and Nova 7 Gen 2. EQ status at a glance, including your QuickSet profiles, and quickly check your battery levels. This new revamp will roll out to other audio devices soon.

• We’ve made using your SteelSeries devices* with Sonar even smoother! Here’s what’s new:

  • Effortless Onboarding: The first time you connect your device* Sonar will automatically set up your device in Sonar. No extra steps needed.
  • ️ No More Double Equalizers: When you use Sonar with your device*, Engine’s Equalizer will automatically flatten. This means you’ll never have two equalizers fighting each other, so you get pure, distortion-free sound.
  • One-Click Fixes: If your device* isn’t set up correctly in Sonar, you’ll see a notification right on the home page below your device card. Just click once to fix it, easy!
