I've always wondering how the CPU usage on these compares to a regular headset using the audio card's interface. I suppose nowadays its probably pretty negligible though.
Also, do the USB headsets still take advantage of the sound processing your audio card is doing or does it use it's own software? Needless to say, I haven't had much experience with them.
i notice a huge difference in sound between the regular hookups and the usb. quality of sound is almost day and night (and im not a huge nit for this).
the usb does connect to my sound card. (however when i do connect it, the sound to my speakers cuts off until i unplug my headset)
it comes with its own software however its more to utilize the functions on the headset, and to open programs which you can choose.

Logitech do make good gear. I am partial to my G11. The new G series keyboard with full color screen is a lil over the top on price but it does look insane.
Logitech does make great products.
i would have went with them for my new keyboard too, but i went with the microsoft sidewinder keyboard with the detachable number pad. i play a lot of online poker and perfer to use my left hand for my number pad. having it on the opposite side of my keyboard makes it a lot easier for me.

I am also in the market for a headset - I wouldnt mind going usb for the ease of it. I am guessing if you use usb you are having your pc's onboard doing the audio processing. Curious tho if theres a DAC converter so you may plug it in to your audio card.
im not sure tbh. i have it so it hooks up to the usb port provided by the tower.
and it spits out great sound (i think this is connected to my sound card though, sorry still learning)
i have a multi-card reader on the front of my tower w/a usb, and the sound out of that doesnt come close as to the one im using.

i bought the microsoft sidewinder mouse (the one with the weights etc). ive never been fussy with the wireless ones, ive had bad experiences with them.
