The connection i use is 3.5mm to RCA, using Belkin Y cable. ( I tried using Optical, but it seem that i cant get any sound from it, dont know what happen.. may be i needto find the correct setting )
At the moment i have 2 Headset, Alienware TactX & this Chimaera 5.1, compare to the TactX, the Chimaera are heavier.. coz its bigger and it even have battery inside it . Still the weight is acceptable for me. The cushion was very confy, because its cover around my ears.. not on my ears.. that was a good thing . For the battery life, i did use the headset for 5 hrs straight, from the manual it said it can be use up to 8 hrs, and yess i think it can.

The sound produce by this headset are way better than my TactX. I think its worth the money i paid for this Chimaera 5.1,

Wireless + 5.1 =

Regarding the optical no sound part, did you select the correct input mode on your Chimaera's base station? I accidentally set mine to analog once while I was on optical and wasted quite some tine fiddling with PS3's settings Try long pressing the right most button to switch between input mode. But if that's correct, make sure you are feeding Chimaera a compatible format. It'll accept 2ch LPCM and Dolby Digital sources

Added on October 20, 2011, 7:23 pmOne more thing to add, it's better to provide a true 5.1 input signal for Dolby Surround to really work its magics. For your case, the stereo signal has to be upnixed to 5.1 first by Dolby PLII before being processed into virtual surround by Dolby Headphone, of which PLII doesn't really upnixes accurately in most cases

I'm using Onza TE, so far so good, never had problem with it, fell down once from my mid tower to the floor, but still okay no problem. Backlight also got no problem. hope this may help.

Thanks again...

Eh??? But i really saw the small metal armadillo one with glossy and the other one which isnt..... and im sure this is not due to the camera angle or lighting... the glossiness is too obvious...

omg, that is so shiny...where u get that pic from?
anyway should look like the first one, tho i dont think u can find it anymore brand new...so v2 is ur only choice now.

Well, now im trying my best to scour every places i can find... I saw the glossy one on taobao... and due to taoabao's notorious reputation for fake/counterfeits, so i need to ask properly whether the armadillo the sellers are selling are mirror version or not... but apparently i have asked 4 sellers, and 2 of them said theirs are original package with mirror finish, 1 is out of stock and the last one is offline.... so im
Now im still finding.....

Tech question as I'm not good with it. I just got a razer copperhead off my dad and I've installed the driver but my laptop won't recognize it and keeps installing driver via Windows driver update. Am I missing something?

my Onza TE analog stick have problem.. after 5 months.

if i was u, get v2.
i got both v1 and v2, only reason i use v1 is cos its heavier.
but v1 rusts.

hmm, u installed the razer driver before or after plugging in the mouse?

Save $ for Razer Tiamat 7.1
...Tired for those "fake"(virtual) 5.1/7.1 headphones

I'm just saving up for a Chimaera 2.1 and a Ducky Shine

not tiamat 2.2?

My Abyssus cursor will move by itself AFTER i stopped booming music (speaker on table) and everytime will move to the bottom right, but will stop moving after I lift the mouse.

not really a serious problem, just wondering why this happens.....

so if no music at all before, it wont move?
maybe some dust still dancing?

before booming- will not move
when booming- shake like mad
after booming- move to the bottom right by itself

Meh... we'll see first , but eyes set for wireless set up this time
