    Question Turn headset into gaming headset?

    Second dumbest question: With those In-line Microphones, can you use any old Aux extender cable or do you need a special one for dual-signal transmission? Reason for asking is that those In-line Mic's only have a 6 foot cable reach. Would love to extend that if possible. Edit: I have since...

    Question Turn headset into gaming headset?

    Follow-up question and perhaps the dumbest one yet: Lets say I went with In-line Mic linked above. How does that actually work? Does it go into the audio-out port or the Mic port on PC? Doesn't make much sense to me being that audio interfaces have dedicated ports for Audio, Mic. Disregard...

    Question Turn headset into gaming headset?

    Technically it doesn't need BT connectivity as it has Aux support. Could be used either way if I'm not mistaken. Question seems pretty straight forward to me. Looking for pointers on how best to turn this headset into a gaming headset. More accurately, a part list that would enable this...

    Question Turn headset into gaming headset?

    I found this other thing but it has a 3.5mm cable but the Bose headset is apparently 2.5mm to 3.5mm. Any way to make that work...

    Question Turn headset into gaming headset?

    Could anyone help me out with a parts list that would enable me to use Bose Quiet Comfort headphones as a gaming headset? PC does not have Bluetooth and I don't have a Mic. I'm fine using an Aux cable but not sure how to set it up correctly. Would something like this BT adapter be the better...

    Question 2K - Xcom Enemy Unknown - What actually went wrong?

    For most people the game simply wouldn't launch anymore due to either a windows update or something issued by 2K. For me, running LW mod and steam in perma-offline state, the game still ran, but only limited function. Can't actually load into the battlescape without it crashing. Geoscape works...

    Question 2K - Xcom Enemy Unknown - What actually went wrong?

    A few months ago there was some update that broke the game. Most reported the game wouldn't run anymore. My install of Long war 1.0 appeared to be working fine, but now, 2 months later, I can't load into missions without a crash. I'm confused how this happened as I have steam in perma-offline...

    Question GSC and STALKER: why did they give up further development of the X-ray engine ?

    I'm not aware of any significant rewrites from GSC. Seems the engine framework is far too antiquated to even bother with. Even Anomaly's own revision wasn't able to extract much juice from it. The engine appears to have severe processing throughput limitations. Even with multithreading it...

    Question Stalker 2: already > 1 million copies sold!

    Had my eye on that game for a while. Wasn't a huge fan of the originals in vanilla format, but really enjoyed playing ironman warfare in Anomaly. The sad irony that the game engine can't even handle that mode of play. I have some hope that there will exist something like warfare for S2 in the...

    Question Mouse cursor lagging a lot

    Not much is coming to mind.. Hardware functionality only works on a very basic level in safemode, so I wouldn't rule out hardware completely. But that is otherwise another prominent indication of a driver issue. Consider uninstalling chipset/audio drivers in safe mode, reinstalling with...

    Question Mouse cursor lagging a lot

    That might be a promising development. Hopefully that is indicative of a software issue. Might pay to get rid of any and all non-critical applications.

    Question Reviving the G700s

    Nice man. I'll see about acquiring some of those. Though I imagine installing them will be another problem altogether. :)

    Question Mouse cursor lagging a lot

    Sounds like a chipset issue. Possible motherboard deterioration. USB/Ethernet ports are usually the first to be affected by motherboard failures. It could be a number of things, corrupted chipset driver, dying chipset. Poor connections/oxidization/voltage problems. Though if ALL ports behave...

    Question Reviving the G700s

    This mouse has always had a special place in my heart. I've never found anything even remotely close in terms of comfort and ergonomics. The old Mx1000 was pretty nice too, but the G700s has all bases covered with the exception of reliability. The ergo's are so insanely good for medium-sized...

    [SOLVED] RTX 2070 Super Hot-boxing my Rig

    I have just upgraded to the MSI 2070 super Gaming X trio, And while it idles and plays some less demanding games at remarkably low temps, some games make my case into a raging inferno. Played some Kenshi (uncapped) = 35c - 41c Played Dark souls 2 = 32c - 38c Played Lords of the Fallen...
