The illumination of the keyboard is fully customizable via the second tab, which is the tab that the UI defaults to when launching the application. These are hidden in a side bar that is revealed only when the small "configs" button at the lower left side of the window is pressed. Although it is not apparent at first, multiple profiles (or configs, as SteelSeries calls them) can be programmed, allowing the user to either tether each of them to a specific application or to manually switch between them if some of the keyboard's keys are reprogrammed to perform this function. Selecting the Apex M750 from the "My Gear" tab brings up another window that defaults into the illumination tab. There is also an App that allows the insertion of a GIF file to be converted into a lighting effect for the keyboard, because…why not.įinally, the "Library" tab lists all of your installed games and can be used to tether specific profiles to specific games, automatically switching to them one the game launches. The two most prominent examples are AudioVisualizer that will convert your keyboard into an audio spectrum visualizer, and Discord, which will produce lighting effects based on Discord events and can even control the audio input/output of compatible SteelSeries peripherals. Clicking at the "Engine Apps" tab brings up a list of software compatible with the SteelSeries Engine 3 and that it can be tethered to override the lighting settings of connected devices in order to display their own notifications or effects. The "My Gear" tab lists all of the compatible SteelSeries devices that the software can be used to control.
The main window of the SteelSeries Engine 3 has only three main tabs - "My Gear", "Engine Apps", and "Library". The SteelSeries Engine 3 is a very well designed, flexible software package that can be used to program any recently released programmable device that SteelSeries currently offers. SteelSeries is a company that placed a lot of resources on the development of proper peripherals software and the results are obvious.
