Spotify Steelseries App

23 Oct 2019

by The SteelSeries Engine Team

GameSense™ is a framework in SteelSeries Engine that allows games & apps to send status updates to Engine, which can then drive illumination, haptic & OLED display capabilities of SteelSeries devices. One simple example would be displaying the player's health on the row of functions keys as a bargraph that gets shorter and changes from green. A recent update to Spotify for Android removed the app's widget from the homescreen. You can bring it back with SpotWidget, or Tasker and KWGT. Give your setup the glow-up with Steelseries. 👉 Simple-to-use keyboard app and faster keyboard with swipe to text. 👉 LED lighting Keyboard with effects: Neon effect, led effect, Slide effect, Top down effect. 💯 Colorful keyboard skins with effect as 1 million led litghting on your keyboad. 👉 Amazing effects distinguish this LED Keyboard 👉 Keyboard sound: Turn on/off key.

If pairing your Arctis 1 Wireless wasn’t already easy enough!

Hey folks,

We’ve packed a bunch of ‘quality of life’ improvements in our latest Engine update. Notably, improvements to our Arctis 1 Wireless pairing user interface.

We have also received some feedback on our Spotify App integration that was released in August. While many gamers love it, we have seen some connection issues as our user base of the app grows. As such, we are taking it offline until we can implement a solution that can scale to all of our users.

If you have any feedback for us or awesome Engine feature ideas, get in touch with us via our SteelSeries Discord #product-ideas!
