SteelSeries has surely designed this section pretty well considering how populous this side is.ĭid you wonder why is that 3.5mm analogue port there? I found out that its used to connect another 3.5mm jack based audio device to playback what you are listening to on your Arctis 5! Before you jump and say that's pointless like I did at first let me tell you its quite beneficial for watching movies when you can just connect one device at a time to your cell phone, iPad or even the PC so well that's about the only benefit I can think of for this and it quite useful atleast for me. Even though its small but it easy to find and press due to its protruding nature and springy feel.

The mic mute/unmute button is right adjacent to the volume dial and can be pressed in and out for the desired functions. First of we have the mini USB type B port for connecting the headset to whichever device one desires to followed by a volume dial which is textured and has soft clicks to it making ti easier to adjust volume and also gives a nice feedback to the finger tips.

The right cup houses the entire IO panel and the retractable mic.
