Before choosing this model
- This is the PC and PlayStation edition: SteelSeries sells the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless for Xbox, with an Xbox jack on its base station, as a separate box.
- ChatMix works only on a PC, with SteelSeries GG installed.
- SteelSeries says not to use the mic while it's slid into the earcup.
- SteelSeries lists Switch in TV mode, not Switch 2.
- A dongle that fits a console's USB port doesn't mean the console takes the mic: check which platforms its maker lists on this page.
- No stand or arm needed: the mic is on the headset.
- Use the cable in the box; you only need an adapter if your computer lacks that port.
