    Hi,

    Im just wondering regarding the audio ports, ive got a razer baracuda 5.1 headset with 3 plugs for the surround and one for the mic.

    The spdif and 2 headset ports change into front rear and center/sub ports or does the mic port change ?

    Cheers

    Dark, are you happy with the headset? I'll need something with 5.1.
    I can't help you with the R3. I still haven't ordered it yet.

    well ive had it for a while but im loving it, subwoofer in them are awesome. The surround is such a difference from playing with stereo and virtual surround. Its soo detailed that i get kicked for wallhacks more then before :p

    but the problem is some laptops dont have the ports for it or just for the audio however i need the mic to work aswell wich is why im asking here :p

    Im planning to buy an R3 here in the Netherlands when they release it however i kinda need it for a tournament in the UK -.- lol

    The headset is the best ive had so far, ive had creative fatalities and steelseries siberia etc alot of gaming headsets but this is by far the best one ive had. Alot pricier than the others tho :p

    If I had to guess, I would think it should work fine for the R3. Again, just a guess. Sorry. :(
