Using corsair products with Arch
For the headset modes, theres a related package called headset-charge-indicator which is a system tray icon that uses HeadsetControl. It seems to run ok on most DEs but was mainly designed for GNOME. Its on the AUR as headset-charge-indicator-git.

Is there a GUI version of these packages or some alternative
Im unsure how exactly to use this : https://github.com/centic9/headset-charge-indicator/

Linux friendly wireless gaming headsets? Do they exist?
I've got a pair of Corsair HS70 pros iirc that didn't really have any issues running without software on Linux and all I've added is https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl/ and https://github.com/centic9/headset-charge-indicator

Add support for Steelseries Nova 7
I guessing it needs to be put into a state todo this? The program https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl can query the state of the Game/Chat mix dial. I pretty much just use this dial for Discord, so at minimum I want to have it so using the Game/Chat mix dial changes the volume of the Discord application. Ideal would be having a virtual sound that gets mixed back into the sound output.

Switching completely from Windows to Linux
For the arctis, you can likely use https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl I'm using it with the nova 7 and it has 4 built in equalizers which do the job for me. You miss out on built in chatmix like sonar has but you can implement it pretty easily using pulseaudio virtual audio devices and interfacing with headset control to get the chat mix level from the headset. If you want to send me a dm once you get your system set up I can send you over a private repo I have for it!

Ask HN: What lesser-known accessories do you use with your computer?
Same here. My Logitech gaming headset works great in Linux. I do have to use some third party thing to adjust the goofy LED colors and side channel volume, though.

New PC Build, Recommend changing any hardware for Linux comparability
For the headset, this is a bit more difficult, if and only if, you are looking for a full compatibility, meaning all the functionality you would have in Windows. I would recommend looking at HeadSetControl repository if you need a full control of your headset under Linux, else all basic functionality should be available on most of the Headset market (please verify using google).

Microphone output while using headphones? I can't hear myself!
I also used it in Ubuntu with this little cli-tool headsetcontrol from here https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl which works great with the G533. It also supports some other headsets, so it might be worth checking out.

Recommended wireless headset
Everything using Bluetooth should work, sometimes with a tiny bit of tweaking. If you want a bit more of functionality, look at https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl you will find a list of supported devices.

Disable sidetone on corsair void pro usb.
I switched to linux a few weeks ago and talking with friends in discord is really annoying because of the sidetone. I've tried disabling it from alsamixer(there was no sidetone option) and HeadsetControl.

Looking for a wireless headset that works great on Linux
With my current headset, the problems I've had on Linux were the following: - Lack of battery notifications (mitigated with HeadsetControl) - Lack of surround settings - Can't use the programmable button
What are some alternatives?
When comparing headset-charge-indicator and HeadsetControl you can also consider the following projects:
Bluetooth_Headset_Battery_Level - A python script to get battery level from Bluetooth headsets
easyeffects - Limiter, compressor, convolver, equalizer and auto volume and many other plugins for PipeWire applications
