In their own words
Fnatic OP Software
Fnatic OP Software is a free utility for configuring supported Fnatic gear on Windows and macOS. Users can adjust mouse DPI, lift-off distance, and polling rate, set keybinds and macros, and customize lighting effects with a choice of 16.8 million colours. Supported headsets can use virtual 7.1 surround sound. Users can create multiple profiles, cycle through them, and import or export them to different devices. The early-access product page describes up to eight backlight profiles, with controls for colour, animation speed, and pattern direction. Competition mode lets users choose which buttons and lighting effects remain active during tournaments. Macros can be recorded and assigned; the page also describes one-click actions to launch applications or open files and links. Settings can be stored in onboard device memory. Fnatic describes OP as early access and provides Windows and macOS downloads. Its help article specifies 64-bit Windows from version 8 onward. RUSH, Clutch1, and Flick1 devices have a separate Gen1 download, while the Lamzu x Fnatic THORN is incompatible and requires Lamzu software.
SteelSeries GG
SteelSeries GG is a free app for Windows and macOS that bundles services for gameplay clipping, audio tuning, device setup, and sharing. Sonar adjusts in-game audio, optimizes chat, reduces microphone noise, and balances game, chat, media, auxiliary, and microphone channels.

Moments records gameplay, shares clips, and offers AI auto-clipping for selected games including Fortnite, Counter-Strike 2, and Valorant. Engine customizes compatible SteelSeries devices with lighting, audio, macros, button assignments, and game profiles. It includes equalizer options, bass boost, virtual surround, microphone presets, and reactive GameSense lighting tied to button presses or in-game events. Sonar and Moments list Windows 10 (RS5+) requirements, while Engine offers a macOS 11+ download. The listed GG plan is a free download for Windows 10+.
