Dedicated Arctis Nova 5 Dongle

This USB-C wireless dongle is the sole replacement part for the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 headset. It restores the 2.4 GHz link when the original adapter is lost or damaged. The package contains only the dongle itself with no extra cables or accessories included. It is built specifically for owners of that single headset model.

2.4 GHz Wireless Link

The adapter operates on a 2.4 GHz connection to deliver low-latency audio to the Arctis Nova 5. It provides the exact wireless bandwidth the headset was designed for and nothing more. Compatibility is strictly limited to the Arctis Nova 5; every other Arctis Nova model will not pair with this dongle. Users needing multi-device switching or Bluetooth fallback cannot use this accessory.

Compact USB-C Form Factor

The black dongle plugs directly into any USB-C port on a PC, console or mobile device without blocking adjacent sockets. Its low-profile design stays flush to the chassis so it survives transport inside a laptop bag. No driver installation is required; the headset reconnects automatically once the dongle is seated. Buyers needing a Type-A connection or an extension cable must source those separately.
