SteelSeries is happy to announce the beta release of GameSense!

Your games and gear now become one. With GameSense, your devices’ illumination changes in real time, based off of in-game events. Ammo, health, kills,and cooldown timers are just a few things that you can integrate into your gear.

CS:GO

- We’ve worked with the team over at Valve in order to bring you the coolest experience available. Incorporate ammo, health, armor, kills per round, kills per match, flashbang blindness, and more into all of your gear.

Minecraft

- We developed a Minecraft mod to integrate Minecraft events. See your air, hunger, and health levels. Use the numpad to view a bitmap representation of your current tool selected and its durability level. Even the arrow keys indicate your directional heading.

Supported devices

- All of our SteelSeries Engine 3 supported devices that feature RGB Illumination are compatible with GameSense.

Developers

- Provide a deeper integration between hardware and software to create an enhanced gaming experience. There are no libraries to build into your game. Use any language you like. Simply define your own game events and handlers using JSON and post to SteelSeries Engine 3’s RESTful API.

New firmware available

- Apex M800, v1.23 – Fixes some irregular color writes to the zone that controls the logo and sides.

Bug fixes

- The tray icon now has a tooltip.
- Fixed a few conditions that would prevent the app from communicating with the background process, causing connection errors.
- Mouse buttons 3-8 with special playback options should now work as expected.
- Fixed restored windows being hidden off-screen after connecting and disconnecting extra monitors.

About Keyboard Packages:

Install the proper keyboard software and your system will be able to recognize the device and use all available features. This will also make it possible for owners to configure additional hotkeys.

In case additional keyboard accessories are connected, this step can also improve the bundle’s overall stability and compatibility, as well as performance.

Therefore, if you wish to install this release, simply make sure that your computer OS is supported, save the package, extract it if necessary, run the available setup, and follow the on-screen instructions for a complete installation.

Bear in mind that, even though other platforms might be compatible, we do not recommend applying this software version on configurations running under OSes other than the specified ones.

That being said, if you consider applying the present version, download and install the package. Also check with our website whenever you can, in order to stay up to speed with latest releases.
