SteelSeries Stratus XL Controller Driver/Utility for Mac OS

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 Joystick, Gamepad & Wheels:

Installing the controller’s drivers and utilities allows the system to properly recognize the connected device (either wired or wireless products), as well as to use all of the unit’s features, such as force feedback, custom vibrations, and others.

In addition to that, applying the appropriate files lets users configure the controller’s functions and buttons, and might even add support for various accessories compatible with the device.

As for applying this release, the steps are very easy: make sure your operating system is supported by this software, get the package (extract it if necessary), run the available setup, and follow the on-screen instructions for a complete installation.

Even though other OSes might be compatible as well, we do not recommend applying this release on platforms other than the ones specified. In addition to that, after installing the software, we suggest performing a system restart to make sure that the changes take effect properly.

That being said, click the download button, get and install the controller’s software, and enjoy all its available features. Moreover, don’t forget to check with our website as often as possible in order to stay up to date with the latest releases.
