Decent Microphone?

[Scouse]

Anyone know of a decent Mic. for gaming?

I'm thinking of hosting a roger wilco base station or summat like that for the majority of my online capers - but want a decent microphone to pick up my dulcet tones....


Cheap is good too - but not cheap and shit.

Most cheap free-standing microphones I've tried have had very good sound quality. I think I use a Creative one at the moment, cost about £5.

Headsets tend to suck. I'd avoid them.

PC World it is for me then (actually - I may go to maplins instead)...


What software do you use? Roger Wilco?

Teamspeak.

Easy? Low bandwidth? Stable?

ventrilo is good for sound quality, never tried teamspeak though

Easy? Check. Low Bandwidth? Check (though the lower settings sound a bit robotic). Stable? Only tried a Base Station on FreeBSD, Windows client is stable too.

A few people have mentioned Ventrillo, never tried it, but I've never had any problems with Teamspeak.

Nah. Went there m8. Couldn't find it. Doesn't look like a gaming site at all!
