    I know many people buy "Turtle Beach", Secura's family effectively all own one (ie: her dad and uncles who play CoD) and they even got Secura a pair and she doesn't even really play games which require them which was amusing, especially as she mocked them for it.

    As for Razer, I have the Razer Naga mouse and the Blackwidow keyboard. Both so far are working very good, though the keyboard does have a tendency to "clackety-clack" when I am typing.

    I mocked them all for it, and it's funny because now I wonder how I ever managed without them, especially as I've only had 'em a month or so. They're mainly aimed at FPS games sure, but they do bring a new dimension to games like Fallout and the like; no more will a Deathclaw sneak up on me with padded footfalls, muahaha!

    I have to say though, I think that the sound amplification is a double-edged sword, really. Turtle Beach are fantastic for the occasions I play MP (since I can follow the sounds of footsteps, voices and even 'silenced' gunfire), but they're absolutely awful for Zombies, where a single game can last hours on end.

    The other night, I had to remove them outright because the constant groans, roars and footsteps of hundreds of zombies was simply too overwhelming for my delicate ears, let alone the whining/'flirting'/outright fail of the teenagers I was inevitably paired up with via the random public match system. >.<
