I have a Saitek II keyboard that my girlfriend is now using... I believe I bought it back in August of last year. Anyhow, it's taken a lot of thumping and banging, and now an unbelievable amount of typing.. and it's still holding tough. If they put the quality into this headset like they do everything else, then you're going to be very happy choosing that headset. However, I bought a great headset at Best Buy about 7 months ago for under 60$ (noise cancellation/etc/whole works), and it's still doing good.. It currently holds the record for the longest lifetime of a headset that I've owned.. Let me know if you buy the Cyborg headset and tell me how great it is.
