It's worth pointing out that software is the one area where this headset differs significantly from Logitech's cheaper G230 version. When setting volume levels for the surround sound, it goes from a scale of zero to 11. In spite of my criticisms, I have to give the G430 credit where credit is due. Add in the surround sound, and you have too many choices to manage without being able to save profiles. You can control general bass and treble, or dive in and fine-tune 10 different equalization settings. This is somewhat baffling, since the various options are fairly deep. If you want to craft a rich soundstage for cinematic action games and a focused one for multiplayer shooters, you'll have to manually redo it each time. That's why it's such a shame that the G430 does not offer many of the features that come standard with other Logitech peripherals.įirst and foremost, unlike with Logitech's mice and keyboards, you cannot make individual profiles for games. For making profiles, linking games and fine-tuning performance, it has few equals on the market. The Logitech Gaming Software is one of my favorite programs in the gaming peripheral business. However, since the mic does not possess any noise-reduction features, those using it in cacophonous environments may have trouble differentiating their voices from ambient sounds. The mic worked with perfect clarity when I tested it with my co-workers.
