[PATCH v6 9/9] HID: steelseries: Add support for Arctis Nova 5X and Nova 7 families
From: Sriman Achanta
Date: Wed Jul 08 2026 - 23:26:07 EST
From: Sriman Achanta <srimanachanta@xxxxxxxxx>
The Arctis Nova 5X, Nova 7 Gen2, and Nova 7 2026 refresh headsets answer
status polls, but also send unsolicited battery and connection updates
on a second HID interface (interface 5). Use that interface through
async_interface so the driver does not have to poll. Add request and
parse helpers for the Nova status format (0xb0/0xb7/0xb9/0xbb opcodes).
The original (pre-Gen2) Arctis Nova 7 family answers the same status
opcodes on the same interfaces, but reports battery capacity as a
discrete 0-4 level instead of a raw percentage. Add a second parse
function that maps that level through steelseries_map_capacity(), and a
separate device_info so the two capacity encodings cannot get mixed up.
Add the fourteen USB product IDs that share these protocols:
0x2253 Arctis Nova 5X
0x2202 Arctis Nova 7
0x2206 Arctis Nova 7X
0x22a4 Arctis Nova 7X (alternate PID)
0x223a Arctis Nova 7 Diablo
0x227a Arctis Nova 7 World of Warcraft Edition
0x22a1 Arctis Nova 7 2026
0x22a7 Arctis Nova 7P 2026
0x22a5 Arctis Nova 7X 2026
0x22a9 Arctis Nova 7 Diablo 2026
0x227e Arctis Nova 7 Gen 2
0x2258 Arctis Nova 7X Gen 2
0x229e Arctis Nova 7X Gen 2 (alternate PID)
0x22ad Arctis Nova 7X Gen 2 (alternate PID)
