the keyboard have 4 cables which are 2 usb, 1 audio and 1 mic right? the two usb, the one with razer logo is the power and input cable for the keyboard and another one is usb extension.. connect both cables to your pc usb port to power up the keyboard and the usb port on the side of the keyboard. connect the audio (green) and mic (pink) to your pc audio and mic port so that you can plug in your headset and mic directly to the keyboard.

i owned a tiamat 7.1.. the sound quality quite nice with deep bass.. if you're a bass lover, this may be a good choice for you. you can feel the headset rattling on your ears with bass sound at full volume . for me, the headset really give you a true surround sound.. its totally different from virtual surround. you can actually listen to each one of the drivers with any surround songs/movie or games. so does the headset give you true surround? yes it is!

but, if you compare the headset with desktop true surround speakers, the feel is totally different. im also using desktop surround speakers, with this speakers i can get the 'real' surround sound which means, i can tell wheres the gunshot coming from either from my side, back or front. but with tiamat, its hard to tell wheres the gunshot coming from since all the drivers are situated directly to your ears.. its like putting all the 5.1 surround speakers at only to your right and left, thus make the 5.1 surround inefficient. but after few days of usage, you will eventually get used to it and will benefit from the surround sound of tiamat.

IMO true surround sound will work properly with correct distance and angle of the sound source.. which tiamat lack of it. so my advise is, if you really want a surround speakers, go get a real 5.1 desktop speakers.. but if you prefer headset, then try tiamat 7.1. please noted you need to have 5.1/7.1 sound card/integrated mobo sound to make use of timat 7.1 surround features. even though tiamat 7.1 still works with stereo/virtual surround sound, it just not worth it. go get a cheaper stereo headset instead.

edit: even though the headset a bit heavy, its still comfortable to wear for hours of gaming.. but your ears might sweat a bit.

mind sharing where did you bought it?

is it both rgb? still waiting for taipan chroma version come out to the market..

looks very interesting.. tri colour quite good actually but that 'gaming' design is a bit let down .. i always love razer minimalistic sleek looking design.. that aggressive design make it looks like a cheap rm30 'gaming' mice.. and also that version seems like a downgrade to the original taipan.. haiz just need to be patience a bit more.. i got a dream that ming will bring it out next year
