is this a good mic to use for commentary on gaming videos?

i would go with something better i got this for the same reason and it broke in a few mins of me opening the package and the few minutes it work it had crappy quality

I've only used it to make one recording to test the sound and it seemed to work well enough for that, although I am not sure how much background noise it would pick up if you are in a noise environment, since I don't think it has any kind of noise cancellation-type anything.

its a cheap affordable mic it has worked on everything ive tried it on thus far

The microphone seems to be very good quality but I'm not sure if it will work well for your application.

This would work really well for that. The only problem I could think you might have. The mic picks up everything so is there is a lot of background noise you will hear it all

btw after writing my last comment i went to www.macspeech.com and checked out their headsets and some of them look really good. pricey though i'd stick with the usb microphones and pic one from their page and go for it

Its okay for recording gameplay but lasts for about year then quality drops, i have a test video of it on my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cM-w-1L0J-I

I would say yes. I've used it to put in audio after we've recorded our podcast. The quality of mic is great. The first thing to add would definitely be a pop filter. And get nice and close. Would be worth trying out to see if it matches your voice however.

Yes, this will work fine for voiceover. A very good mic for such its size, able to record with clarity, and have a build in noise cancellation (it work pretty well, though not in the extreme setting with lots of surround noises).

You can't do commentary. Aver media made the second version that does have a microphone input to plug in a microphone and do commentary. Look it up. It's called "aver media game capture hd 2" hope this helps

Yes a good one .You will have a perfect stereo output depending of the mic you use. Good for interviews use a unidirectional mic or any live event choose an omnidirectional mic

The quality of the mic is very good the volume rocker on the side helps for the cobition of the background noise from outside , ive used it for videos, voice over the quality is very good if you are starting with the podcasting industry , upgrading will be needed as the quality of sound may be desirable with a little more expensive mic , I would suggest a Blue microphone or the Mammoth brand more expensive but the quality if the best

Yes. Great mic for an affordable price. If you have a mic pre it makes it even better.

Yes. I am a YouTuber and use this and it sounds crystal clear. I also use this on a desktop, like you mentioned

Yes it's a great mic. I used it with the Scarlett 18i20. Also with a mackie mixer to outboard beheringer compressor.

Yes...I use mine for gaming and Skype. Should be plug and play but you may have to go into control panel and set up the microphone.

I use it for Dragon speaking. It has good quality sound. For gaming you might want a full headset for stereo sound though.

I would think so. I've used them for movies and such. You have to mess around with the volume because dialogue tends to get muddy, though. But once you get it set they work well for movies so I'm assuming they will work well for gaming.
