| 567763 | 2007-07-10 23:17:00 | Hey there I have a Logitech G15 keyboard and just got a set of Microsoft LX-3000 headphones. Installed fine. When I enter a game I get a 1 second delay in the keyboard response and the game appears to lag. I have tried various sound settings etc without any success. I then plugged in a PS2 keyboard and the laggy feel increased 10x fold. If I unplug the headphones and run normal ones with the G15 everything is back to normal. I have tried running the G15 and headphones out of various USB ports and controllers but nothing changes. Does anyone have any ideas? |

| 567766 | 2007-07-10 23:59:00 | The dictaphone typist at my work use these usb headphone because some on-board sound cards volume and clarity vary so much, however I dont think usb headphones are made for gaming. I dont know what to suggest other than using proper headphones that use your sound card. |
