My SteelSeries GG Experience: The Good and The Frustrating

I've been using SteelSeries GG mainly for Sonar audio controls and Moments recording. It's useful, but some issues really hold it back. Here's my honest take.

What Works Well:
  • Sonar's audio mixing is fantastic. Sliding game volume separately from Discord is perfect when friends talk over cutscenes.
  • Moments recording saves the last few minutes with a hotkey. Better than constantly recording like OBS.
What Needs Fixing:
  • Moments doesn't detect Arena Breakout Infinite. I always have to manually switch to Screen Capture.
  • No push-to-mute in Sonar – just a toggle. Have to tap mute, then remember to unmute. Discord's hold-to-mute is way better.
  • Corrupted clips: 2 of my last 21 recordings were completely unplayable. The app just crashes when trying to open them.
Simple Improvements Needed:
  1. Fix game detection for Arena Breakout and others
  2. Add push-to-mute (it's standard now)
  3. Prevent clip corruption or add recovery options
Final Thoughts:
SteelSeries GG has great features but feels unfinished. The audio mixing and replay functions show potential, but these bugs keep it from being amazing.
