So I want to ask for some opinions from everyone about whether the A710 is really good for those needs or not. listen to music, play valorant, csgo, naraka, use for android, ios,..... can anyone please give me some reviews, I can't find anyone in my country to review this product chief. Thank you very much

How Does the DigAura RX870 Keyboard Stack Up for Gaming?

Their website says "low latency connection as low as 3ms". Is that good enough for gaming keyboards? What about 16 million RGB lighting color options?

Group Headsets for Late-Night LAN gaming?

My partner and I sometimes stay up late and play video games, but we need to be quiet for the owners and other 2 tennants.

We typically play on the PS4, so what's the best option for a group headset setup we could use to hear the same thing without being loud?

It doesn't matter if they're rechargable or cord powered, as long as they can connect to the same device wirelessly.

General question(s) about storage for games

Any recommendations on hard drivers to use for game storage? HDD vs SSD is also a question I have as well as what any of you find to be a reliable brand of storage medium to just hold the enormous size of some new games taking up my free space.

Need help deciding on a new microphone

Why get a new one? I've had this really small Samson Meteor mic for ages, and I've finally decided to move off of it onto something new.

The main thing that I want to look for is a mic which can handle white noise (as mine has plenty more than i'd like) one that can be farther away from my keyboard to avoid picking that up, and one that isn't 120 dollars and up, though cheaper is more appealing.

I am thinking of getting the Hyperx Duocast, or the Quadcast, but I have seen the Fifine A6T show up a bit, and it does seem quite appealing given the very cheap cost in comparison, coming with an arm for only like 50 bucks, but a lower price can also mean lower quality, and I would be willing to buy a mic stand for the other microphones if it meant a noticeable difference in the sound of my keyboard in the process.

Of those three, the Fifine A6T, the Duocast, and the Quadcast, which of those seems to be the best option, and alongside that, are there any that you may recommend instead, and why?

Need help deciding a headset

Hey y’all, I’m gonna be getting a new headset while I’ve got a coupon to target, but I’m undecided to which one to get. I’ve been torn between the following

Razer Blackshark V2X Steelseries Nova 1P Corsair HS55 (and the HS35) And in a price jump (but on sale for $159), the Steelseries Nova 7P Wireless.

I’m looking for something I can move between PC and PS5 with great sound quality, obviously budget isn’t the highest thing (the 7P is just a shot). I’ve tried on the 1P and the V2X and like both of them, so any suggestions? Thanks!

Decision Time

RIG 600 PRO HX vs Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX vs Xbox Wireless Headset.

Help me decide. Platform is Xbox. Other choices welcome, but that's the budget and I'm okay with that. No need to upsell me. Thank you!

UVI Gear Mouse Lust Software

Hello, A few years ago I bought the UVI Gear Lust (Came in a Life Of Boris Bundle).

Back than it came with software for the mouse and keyboard (I still have the keyboard software if you need) but now they require UVI One in the app store which I hate and also can't use on my Windows 7 antique laptop.

Does anyone has the original Lust software?

Please Please help me.

Upgrade recommendations for Headset and Mouse

Hello there all, as the title suggests, i'm looking for some advice on getting some potential upgrades to my mouse and headset.

​

My mouse is a Razer Deathadder Chroma that i've had for... 7 years? And my headset is a HyperX Cloud Core Pro that i've had for about 5 years.

The mouse sometimes extra clicks and the headset has kinks in the wiring and is also losing some of the faux leathery stuff that touches the top of my head (i CANNOT think of the word for what it is currently, forgive me)

For recommendations, i'd probably prefer items that are a similar feel (like in the hand and on my ears/head) Thank you to anyone who comments on this in advance!

[Opinion][PC] Looking for speakers

I finally have a decent gaming setup and I'd like good desktop speakers to go along with it (headphones are not an option). My initial budget is probably $200 but that is going in blind. If I'm completely off base for what decent gaming desktop speakers cost, please point me in the right direction. I give first thought to Razer simply because I know it will interface with the Razer device management software I'm already using. Otherwise, no preferences. RGB or any lights are unnecessary. Thanks in advance.

Foot Pedal for Push to Talk?

Just what it says in the topic. I have 0 unbound keys between my Tartarus gamepad and my MMO mouse when I play FFXIV, so I'm looking for footpedal I can bind to something on the keyboard. I got one once but you couldn't hold it, it just activated then immediately released so I couldn't use it for PTT. Anyone do this and have recommendations?

Cheap mic?

Hello all! I have a Fnatic gaming headset, but sadly the mic doesn't work anymore. I don't want to change my headphones since they still work well, but I need a new microphone for Discord calls and such, nothing fancy, I was even thinking about a wearable one, but I dunno where to start. Any suggestion for something as cheap as possible that will not sound completely trash?

microphone suggestions for side by side gaming.

Hello, me and my fiancé game in the living room of our small apartment. He has a corsair virtuoso where i believe i have the razer barracuda. my mic does not pic up him at all but for a while his has been picking up my voice and I never realized how bad it was until we played lethal company.

The problem is that we don't want to get him a new headset. he likes the way it feels, how it sounds ect. but since he can remove the mic bit I was thinking of getting him a standing microphone on his desk so I don't echo all the time. I mean you can hear from the opposite side of the apartment and I've tried adjusting sensitivity but then you cant hear him (he talks quietly).

What microphone can I get that wont pic up my voice but wont hurt our wallets? Its not a necessity but it would defiantly be nice hence something that wont hurt the wallets.

Headset recommendation

Hi, I have a steelseries arctis wireless, but I'm having constant issues with them. Recently BT went down and can't pair them. What I need is a simultanous PC connection and BT pair with my phone.
I also used the infinity power (charging one battery while using other one). I am considering switching to arctis nova pro wireless with infinity power, but their customer care is shit and generally I'm afraid this gear won't last me long until it's bricked. Is there something else that tickes all the boxes above?

Please Help!!Wireless headset not working in game

Hey everyone. I need help!!! I would first like to say I have a PS4 and the Pulse 3D Wireless headset. All my settings for both the console and the headset are fine. But when I get in a game like Call of Duty, Fortnite, Apex, etc. it does not work. I can hear but my teammates can not hear me. It works out of the games just fine. but if I'm in any lobby it does not work. If I'm in a PlayStation party it works but not in the game lobby. Also, when I'm in the games the mic shows muted but the headset itself is not muted.

Any advice or tips will really help.
