Anyone use a desktop mic? - zaneyard - 08-21-2010
I love my gamecomm from plantronics but they made the plastic too rigid and it snaps every other time you have to take it off your head
so instead of returning it to them for a replacement, i'm thinking of using my sony studio monitor that i don't use and just get a desktop mic to go along with that
anyone have any brand recommendations?

is it usb?
and does it really matter if it's USB?

An analog one is probably a better bet. And if you're using it with speakers in any source games, use a mute script.

only problem with those is they are so loud and they don't have a inline volume control, so i had to lower the volume down to 10 on my mixer in windows.
also caff, where do you put those? no stand it looks like.

ok, thanks so far guys. I'm still deciding on what i want to do at this point as i'm pretty sure i can send my old headset back to plantronics again and get a new one. old headset was a bit more comfortable too...
i bought that mic you linked caff, my plantronics is out of warranty i think

I used to use an array mic like Caff's, but use a headset now. If your soundcard supports it I can just send you mine.

your mobo/soundcard has to support stereo array mics for it to work, but most do now afaik so you're probably fine.

w/e it's an asus mobo it should support that kinda shit
