New Features:

- The Macro Editor now supports Text Macros. You can save a block of text in the Macro Editor, and have it entered into your favorite game or application.
- SSE3 now has the ability to Live Record macros. This allows allows you to create new macros on-the-fly without having to open the Macro Editor.
- The quickset in SSE3 has a new binding type: Record Macro. Bind a key or button to this type, press that button to start recording, input a key combination on your input devices, and then press the button again to stop recording. Next time you open SSE3, you will see a list of the macros you recorded, where you can save and assign them.
- When a macro is being live recorded, you can also choose to have your device flash red to let you know that you are currently recording. As a bonus, for the Apex M800, you also have the option to flash the single key you used to start recording instead of the whole device.
- Keypress Macros can now have up to 250 events, up from 128.
- The Cooldown Timer effect for the Apex M800 can now be triggered on either keydown or keyup.
- The main background process of SteelSeries Engine 3 has had the memory footprint reduced and processing speed increased.

The illumination editing tools for the Apex M800 have been updated to include the following tools:

- Magic Wand -- selects all keys on they keyboard that have the same effect
- Paint brush -- paints the selected effect onto any key while dragging
- Paint bucket -- fills in the area of touching keys with the same effect
- Eyedropper -- samples the effect of any key and makes it the active effect, making it easy to duplicate an effect
- Undo -- will revert individual effect changes

New Firmware: Apex M800 -- 1.21

- Enables SSE3 to flash the key that was pressed to toggle live macro recording, showing you that a macro is currently being recorded.

Bug Fixes:

- Closed a loophole where you could open multiple macro editor windows at the same time.
- Fixed a specific case where device configuration windows would error when being loaded.
- Keyboards on OSX now will not require reconnecting after reboot.
- Maximizing the main window will now save the maximized state, and be recalled as maximized.
- If the main SSE3 background process is not found when you load the UI, it will now display the correct platform-appropriate name of the process.
- Fixed some playback option fields appearing to be disabled when they could indeed be used.
- The Glock Fade lighting template for the Apex M800 now has a reactive effect for each key, going from its resting color up to white on keypress.
