Light Mobile Mousepad/Headset

So, when I'm at home I have my Platronics 377, Razer Goliathus mousepad, and either my Logitech G9 or MS Habu to use. However, I'm looking for smaller, lighter accessories. Here we go.

Sound: Looking for in-canal/earbud headsets with a microphone and 3.5mm analog connectors. I'm sticking for earbud style since they're easy to stow into a laptop satchel. Brand doesn't matter. Preferably black. I'm no audiophile, so I don't need ultra noise-canceling pieces. Just something cheap and effective. Hoping for pricing $25 and less.

Mousepad: Ditto my reasoning for the in-canal earbuds. I want something small. I was looking at the Razer Kabuto, since it's small and can also double as a screen protector, but I'm wondering if there's other pads with similar size/function/features. Again, brand doesn't matter, and I prefer black. Also hoping for $25 and less.

Mouse: Kind of optional, since mice and general are easy to stow as it is. Small mouse, preferably wired with selectable DPI if possible. I do have a preference to Logitech, though I'll see other suggestions. Black, please, haha. No more than $35. (Again, purely optional. I don't necessarily need a new mouse, since my mice can be fit into my satchel as is. Just want an idea.)

 

earbuds w/ mic what comes to mind for me are the astro products.

Astro Gaming | Professional Gaming Equipment | A*STAR Ear Buds

logitech also has the ultimate ears products with a mic on some models but I think they are for phone use so you would need an adapter to use for pc.

pro-tip - if you have the non voice model (like me I have 2x Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi 10's) you can just buy the replacement cable for the VI version and convert it to the type with the in-line mic.

mouse pad - maybe get just a QCK Mini from steel series since they are cheap, reliable and well tested mats.

Mouse - The Razer Orochi would fit your needs except the price. I got mine on sale for like $50.00 though so sales do come around now and then.

 

$80 for the earbuds is a bit steep for me, Vicious. I'll definitely look into the QCK though. Seems like a good suggestion.

 

yeah Astro is much like Razer, a boutique brand so its expensive stuff but should perform good.

I think voice earbuds for PC use is sort of rare, most of what you will find is made for the phone market. Most of them could be converted but maybe not quite the same quality as one would want for gaming/computer use.

 

Hmm. Could I get a decent set of earbuds and then a separate mic? I think that's what you suggested. If so, know any good combos?

 

For cheap earbuds, there's the JVC Marshmallows or the Sennheiser CX300.

 

Maybe these...

I'm quite partial to the katana (and I am just kidding by the way, dont actually buy these)

 

Heh. Nice one. These bring back memories of Lego

 

Definitely take a look at the razer Moray+'s the earbuds with the inline mic. They are perfect for my laptop, small portable, inline mic, converter to make it pc compatible. I got mine on Cowboom for like, $35.

 

The Razer Vespula is a good portable mousepad. It's solid plastic and very lightweight with two sides; a smooth Speed surface and a more coarse Control side. Just drop it in your backpack next to your laptop. I prefer hard surfaces for portability over soft ones because soft pads rely on you having a flat hard surface to rest on, which isn't always the case. For example, with my Vespula, I can use my house on a couch or bed, or even my pant leg if space is that limited.

For portable audio, the Moray+ are earbuds with an integrated mic. I've heard good things about them, but never owned them. Not sure about the price.

As for a mouse, the Orochi definitely meets all your criteria except price. Cheapest I'm seeing it is $70 on Amazon (Razer's official price is $80). Still, it's a top-notch portable gaming mouse. Or you could just do what I did with my DeathAdder for years and put it in a sock.

 

Does your laptop have webcam/microphone built in? That's what I do with my Envy. Just good headphones and the built-in mic.

 

I like the Logitech H165. Has decent sound and a mic. Cheap.

 

I think my M11x does. I've always been partial to using a mic though. Eh.

 

i hate built in mic on laptops they always suck hardcore

 

They do tend to pick up a TON of ambient noise too.
