Opening up SteelSeries’ GG software suite, the home section appears to have become more of a store front page than anything else. It doesn’t serve much of a purpose here.
The second tab is called Moments, this is a piece of game-capture software. We know those of you who capture game footage most likely use a different software suite, such as NVIDIA Shadowplay, AMD Radeon ReLive or OBS, but at least SteelSeries give you another option.
The following tab, Engine, is where you make tweaks and adjustments to your SteelSeries peripherals. They’ll all be listed here, whether they’re connected or not.
Clicking each individual item opens up its respective settings screens. The Apex 9 Mini’s settings screens looks as follows. Here you can adjust the function of each individual button on the keyboard, with the Meta Bindings section allowing you to change the function of keys when the SteelSeries button is held down.
The Typing Mode and Gaming Mode allows you to change the Optipoint switch’s actuation point between 1.5mm and 1.0mm.
The Apps tab gives us access to a variety of different, well, apps. There’s a whole host of different things included in here, with PrismSync that aligns all of the RGB lighting on your SteelSeries equipment, Reflect which extends your screen onto your new Arena speakers, or many many game integrations that can display information in a variety of ways using your peripherals.
Jumping over to the illumination section of the software, SteelSeries have given plenty of effects to choose from, with options to create reactive effects as well. Things are kept very simple here, which is something that other peripherals manufacturers often overdo and overcomplicate, leading to a great ease of use that we genuinely appreciate.
The Giveaways section of the software does exactly what it says on the tin. You enter your email address to receive notifications of new giveaways, or just scroll through the currently active list to see if anything tickles your fancy.
