Set up the Brainwavz dual controller holder and wireless base station dock for your SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. Step-by-step with checkpoints.
Quick answer
Mount the Brainwavz dual controller holder and wireless base station dock on a flat, stable surface near your PC or console. Then seat your SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless base station, load two controllers, and store a spare battery so everything charges in one place.
Why a combined dock beats separate stands
A single dock for your base station, controllers, and spare battery cuts desk clutter and keeps charging cables from tangling. It also gives each item a fixed home, so you are less likely to misplace a controller or forget to swap a depleted battery.
The trade-off is compatibility. This holder is made specifically for the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless base station and fits the Nova Pro Wireless, Nova Pro Omni, and Nova Elite models. It will not fit other headset brands or base stations, so check your model before buying.
What to check before you start
Confirm you have the correct base station for your headset. The dock is designed for the SteelSeries Nova Pro Wireless family and is not compatible with other models or brands. Also clear enough desk space for the dock footprint plus two controllers, and make sure a power outlet or USB port is within reach for the base station.
If you use a standing desk or a tightly packed setup, measure the dock’s footprint first. The product listing does not specify exact dimensions, so check the store page or contact support if space is tight.
Step-by-step setup
- Choose a stable, flat surface: Place the dock on a solid desk or shelf near your gaming setup. Avoid soft or uneven surfaces that could tip. Common mistake: putting it on a mousepad or fabric, which can cause the dock to slide when you insert a controller. Check that the dock sits flat and does not rock before adding any devices.
- Seat the base station: Align your SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless base station with the dock’s cradle and press it gently into place. Do not force it. Common mistake: inserting the base station upside down or at an angle, which can prevent proper contact. The base station should sit flush and secure without wobbling.
- Route the power cable: Connect the base station’s power cable and route it through the dock’s cable management or behind the desk. Leave enough slack to move the dock slightly if needed. Common mistake: pulling the cable tight, which can lift the dock or strain the connector. Tug gently on the cable to confirm it has slack and the dock stays put.
- Load two controllers: Set each controller into its designated slot, aligning the grips or charging contacts as directed by the dock’s design. If your controllers use charging contacts, make sure they touch the dock’s pins. Common mistake: forcing a controller that does not fit, which can damage the dock or controller. Both controllers should rest evenly and not overhang the dock edges.
- Store the spare battery: Place your Arctis Nova Pro Wireless spare battery in the dock’s battery slot, following the orientation shown in the product images. Common mistake: inserting the battery backwards, which may prevent charging. Confirm the battery is seated flat and the charging indicator (if present) lights up.
- Test the setup: Power on the base station and check that your headset charges. Then dock each controller and verify they charge or sit securely. Common mistake: assuming everything works without testing, only to find a loose connection later. If a controller does not charge, reseat it and check the cable connections before troubleshooting further.
