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.
