Could this work as a gaming microphone?

I use it for Dragon dictation. The mic is great for that purpose, but it's sensitive to external sound sources so I'm not sure it would work with speakers your playing game audio. If you do try it, play around with volume settings to get it right as sometimes too high or low volume affects recognition of commands.

you need headpohones or earbuds to use this as a gaming mic. otherwise the speakers will provide too much feedback and it will sound bad.

Yes. It is just a microphone. Make sure to switch the gain to low so that people don't get annoyed by your breathing noise.

Nope, it works well connecting single-plug gaming headsets (and some earbuds) with laptops & Notebooks that have separate mic and headphone jacks. Totally useful for that, it's what I bought mine for and I use it daily.

I use it for gaming and commentary and it's great if you are recording, or if you have other people making noises around you because it cancels it out and only records you however this mic is very low. That is a common complaint about it, no matter how many settings I try to adjust, there's no way to increase the volume any more. I have a hard time talking in game, and everyone says my mic is too low. I gave it to my boyfriend who now uses it to record his songs, and play acoustic guitar. For this purpose it works flawlessly with great sound. I recommend the Blue yeti for gaming and commentaries, my gamer friend swapped from the snowball to this, and I plan on doing so too.

The quality of the microphone is amazing so, as long as you are speaking reasonably clear. It should work perfectly!

There is a built in microphone, whether the one I use for skype and other things is the same as that one would use for gaming, I don't know. But, you can just go to start and look for microphone and find it there.

yup. use it to skype with friends while gaming all the time. however it does pick up noise from farther away too, so if you're looking for something super high quality, i'd recommend something else

Most likely not. This is more for an in home studio recording. Additionally, the area around the mic that picks up voice rather small, you would need a mic for every 2-3 people.

I believe so, yes! It may require an adapter, but I think you should be fine to use this mic!

You should be able to do all that, at least that's what they claim. I wouldn't recommend this product . I got 2 headphones and both the mic didn't work.

No you wouldn't. It works as a gaming headset and regular pair of headphones the wires disconnect from the mix amp piece.

I use this as a wireless mic for video recording interviews/podcasts/etc. I recently tried to tie it in with an amp/speaker system for the speaker at an awards banquet and had no luck. To be honest, I had very little time to attempt to figure out a way to make it work. It may be possible. It just didn't work for me in that capacity.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the computer's mic port is for input only. There is a separate port for audio output. This connector is made for headset ports which have both. So unless your computer has a specific headset port, I don't think this would work.

You mean can it be used just for general voice communication? Absolutely because a lot of things designed for gaming are made to be very reliable because it's a very intensive activity for your computer and peripherals.

Yes, make sure you select it as your default audio output with the USB dongle. If not you can buy a cable where you connect the red&white plugs into it and it comes out as a dual 3.5mm output for audio and input for microphone.

Though the computer can see the headset as the mic, when I checked how loud the computer was receiving the voice input, it was only seeing it as a whisper, even though I was speaking very loudly.In short, you can set it up, but it will be useless.Sources: Quick test using a Win7 comp and Windows Recording Devices
