Roccat kaves are pro as fuck.

Slight annoyance with pads and the top of my head. Small adjustment fixes it. Sound is awesome, 5.1 is pro as hell for dodging zombies and what not.

Bought Sony MDR-V6 headphones this morning, and I'm really enjoying them so far. Can't comment on absolute audio quality, not an expert; but the build quality and feel are awsum. The only trouble is that now I've effectively lost a mike, since it doesn't have any :P

Any recommendations?

[Verizana]

cheap goose-neck.

I am in the market for a new headset and I have been humming and hawwing at buying a Razer Megalodon.
just posting here to ask is there anything better than that for the sameish price/cheaper or is the headset bad and I should look for something else?

[Cividari]

Sennheiser pc350 should be in the same price range I think. I love the pair I have but I've never been much for Razer stuff that aren't mice so ymmv.

[Cosmin]

Am I the only one that uses a G700 in wired mode?

As for headsets, I prefer using a pair of Sennheiser HD380 Pro combined with the mic of my webcam, nothing beats the FCs yells in high definition sound

So I bought a Steelseries 6g v2. I have only one question for you if you don't already own a mechanical keyboard:

Why don't you own a mechanical keyboard?

[Tordin Varglund]

I have one as well and i would still use my old logitech illuminated one if it wasnt for the fact it didnt have NKRO/6KRO

I'm glad you like it, I was worried you would think it was shit and therefore blame me!

I swapped a Logitech illuminated one for it and I find it a lot nicer to use. I mean I bought the Logi one thinking I'd use all the macros and shit but I don't MMO, and the few extra buttons I need are on my mouse. So the Logi keyboard just ended up annoying me, and the smaller key size was really getting irritating.

You can get illuminated mechanical keyboards, you know...

Dont get me wrong its nice and good to type on, but for FPS gaming i prefer having lighter laptop keys to press. Other than that its a quality keyboard and i dont really mind it other than it being a lot heavier to press the keys imo.

And for me its the opposite: it feels much better in gaming but I just can't get used to those mx black switches when typing (I have tt Meka)

[Zekk Pacus]

Haven't fps'ed on it yet so can't say, but Dota and LoL feel much nicer, even though there's very few keys. Typing on it is fine to me, Browns feel nicer but not by much. Blues feel nicest but dat noise.

very comforateble, like everything with double headband or however its called, sound quality is ok, can't really say as I only have AKG K518 DJ to compare and my best player is iphone lol
I can say it's worth it's price and I like the fact that you can hide the microphone

Was looking at these then someone in alliance said they are really uncomfortable, what are your thoughts? He said they start getting bad after long periods of use.

[hXc]

for me they are quite comfortable, longest I had them on was for ~5 hours and it was fine
maybe it's because after having akg k518 on for 6 hours straight any headphones will be comfortable to me lol

also, remember that they aren't that good when it comes to actual sound quality, I myself bought them for looks and the hidden mic
I don't say they're shit, but these are not beyerdynamics or grados, but I guess in this price range they're ok
for gaming headsets I recommend going through this thread: http://www.overclock.net/t/1014902/o...#post_13493402 (I found it recently somewhere on teamliquid forums)

[Zekk Pacus]

I think the audio from the siberia v2 is 'reasonable', I own them and also a pair of Sennheiser HD215s, the Senns sound a mile better for not much more money but obviously no microphone. They're also much less comfortable for extended listening. The Siberias are like all 'gaming' headsets - light in the midrange and slightly bass-heavy. But that's fine.

Ok so left mouse button on my rat 5 just broke, I knew this mouse was POS the moment i used it's back/forward buttons (ie. they're also shit and feel like pressing a membrane button)
so I'm looking for new mouse, it must have regulated dpi (because I'm used to using exactly 1250 DPI) and well, better quality
what I found at my favourite local shop:
-deathadder
-g500/g400
-mx518 (sic!)
-(edit) ss sensei

I played once with deathadder and it felt quite good, maybe it was just a little too big
what do you recommend?

[balistic void]

No.

[Hels]

I like my Roccat Kone+. Bit bigger, but you can set your DPI to whatever, and cycle through presets.
