Pairing Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE to a new Dongle - Troubleshooting

Pairing Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE to a new Dongle - Troubleshooting

I am trying to pair a replacement dongle(ordered directly from Corsair) with my Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE, but the pairing wizard never enables “Start Process.”

I see both devices, the headset and the dongle. When I go to the dongle and try to pair, the start process is grayed out.

What I already tried:

  • Set headset switch to Wired/USB mode (not wireless)
  • Powered headset off while still in Wired/USB mode
  • Connected headset directly to PC with USB cable
  • Plugged dongle directly into rear motherboard USB ports (no hubs/extensions)
  • Tried multiple rear USB ports including USB 2.0
  • Tried at least 3 different USB cables

Pairing process:

  • Opened dongle → Connections tab
  • Set Mode to “Multi-port” and "Playstation"
  • Under “USB Wireless Receiver Pairing,” the Pair button becomes clickable
  • Clicking Pair opens the pairing wizard

Problem:
The wizard says:
“Connect all the devices you want to pair with…”
and
“Connect Slipstream wireless USB receiver…”

But “Start Process” stays greyed out permanently. Only “Cancel” is clickable.

So:

  • Headset is definitely detected over USB
  • Dongle is definitely detected
  • Pair window opens correctly
  • But Start Process never enables no matter what I do

Has anyone seen this before or found a fix?
