Gaming headset?

[joffy]

Just getting back into PC gaming and need a mic, maybe a headset.

I considered the modmic, but I have the B&W P5's and the cable isn't a standard desgn...

Would a desk mic pic up keyboard noise?
Any open back headsets, £100ish recommended?
Prefer open back so can hear anyone at door etc.

Seinhesser game one seems tick all boxes but bit over budget.

I might be missing something here, but the Antlion Modmic (Uni or USB) just have their own cable that plugs into the respective input. You get some clips with it to clip it to the headphones existing wires if you want.

In terms of open-back gaming headsets, I might be having a moment but I can't think of any in the £100 range. All the ones that spring to mind are either closed-back or over that budget (Audio-Technica ATH-ADG1X). Hopefully others chime in.

Oh didn't know about a USB modmic, so thats an option. Thanks.

Do they sticky pads come off easy and once off can you reuse?

Think I might go for just a mic, HyperX SoloCast and get a boom arm if needed.
