Well, I have a decent headset for all my gaming needs, but for most of my games to be a proper experience, I need a microphone.
I have a budget of...let's say £35 for now, but I will be able to push that to around £50 if the gear is really worth it.
I am obviously only interested in microphones, no headphones. I was thinking of one to fit around my ear maybe?
Something to note: It cannot be wireless. I had a wireless mouse, and because quite a few of my games take almost everything my laptop has to run, it did not work properly. My wired mouse works just fine, so I am guessing it will be the same with microphones.
All I really need is a microphone that will transmit my voice smoothly to the other 3 people playing Left 4 Dead 2 with me, and various other games. My current Mic. - built into my laptop, is stupidly placed right above the speakers, so it sends everything the speakers are outputting as well as my voice.
I am asking here because, simply put, I have searched around the interweb and spent hours looking through catalogues, but as with when I needed a decent mouse, I have no clue where to begin. Information is scattered and no forum website seems to have a clear-cut answer. So, I'm sorry if it seems I am dumping a search on you guys, but really I'm not aiming for that.
Better to ask a group of people who will know what they're talking about than buy the biggest pile of crap because I don't know what to look for, eh?
Any help and results is/are much appreciated. I will hand out cookies like there is no tomorrow =D
