![]() So this doesn’t help you to find a button in the dark when the Sound Pad is not currently playing any sounds.īut once everything is set up and working, the Sound Pad does seem to work pretty well. They do light up, but in my experience, this only happened when the Sound Pad is actively playing a sound. One other thing that isn’t quite as Nyko describes is the backlit buttons. My voice was picked up on the microphone and passed through the Nyko Sound Pad, and all of the sound effects played adequately as well. But with a wired Turtle Beach headset, everything worked as it should. ![]() I would imagine with the Sound Pad the controller is taking mic audio from the connection in the controller and not an additional mic from the wireless headset. Game audio would play through the Arctis, and I could play sounds from the Sound Pad, but I couldn’t get any microphone input from the Arctis to my Xbox. Once everything was secure, it seemed to work correctly.Īnother consideration is that I couldn’t get everything to work correctly with my Arctis 9X wireless headset. With both the Sound Pad and plugging in a headset, there were a couple of instances where I needed to plug in the connectors a little bit more. My first tip is to make sure that everything is securely plugged in. Unfortunately, there are some quirks in how everything works. Of course, the icons on the Sound Pad don’t correspond to the button number, so if you’re changing the sound, you’ll need to remember which icon it has replaced. Because of the hexagonal layout, this is a little confusing at first, but it’s easy to figure out. The buttons are labeled from left to right in rows. To customize a sound, save it as an MP3 file and then rename it to the corresponding button sound name. In there, you’ll find 11 files named from “sound01” to “sound11”. When plugged in, the Sound Pad will mount like a USB thumb drive. Use the micro-USB cable to connect the Sound Pad to a computer. You do need to do this through a computer, though. If you find the noises aren’t what you’re looking for, though, it is relatively easy to add your sounds to the Sound Pad. ![]() There are 11 default sounds with the 12th button being a cancel button to stop a sound from playing. With whistles, chicken sounds, crickets, and air horns, the sounds seem to cover most of the bases for typical soundboard effects. For me, it fits fine and doesn’t get in the way of any buttons on the series 1 Elite controller that I’m using.Īlong the bottom of the Sound Pad, there is a volume dial, 3.5mm jack, micro-USB port, LED status light, and power button. The Sound pad is designed to fit between the grips of an Xbox One controller. The 12 buttons give some nice feedback when pressed, and the accessory fits tightly against my Xbox controller and don’t feel like it will come unplugged or fall off. In the box, we just find the Sound Pad, a micro-USB cable, and some instructions.īuild quality seems reasonable on the Nyko Sound Pad. Naturally, there isn’t much to the Nyko Sound Pad.
