You can still use the Arctis 1 Wireless on devices without a USB-C port by using the included USB-A adapter.
How to connect using USB-A
Step 1
Connect the USB-C wireless dongle to the included USB-A adapter.
Step 2
Plug the adapter into a USB-A port on your PC, PlayStation, or other device.
Step 3
Power on the headset.
You should now have the same wireless connection as with a USB-C port.
Does performance change with the adapter?
No. Connection quality and performance are the same whether you use:
- USB-C directly
- USB-A with the included adapter
Placement tip
For the best wireless performance:
- Keep the dongle close to your headset
- Avoid placing it behind your PC or TV
- Use the adapter to position the dongle in a more open area if needed
Summary
- USB-C not required
- USB-A adapter included in the box
- No difference in performance
- Placement can improve signal stability
