I hope that someday this will change (it's just a USB mic driver after all), but I was still left searching for a Xbox One friendly USB mic.Īfter some more looking, I heard that the Wii U Microphone worked on Xbox 360, and thus might work on the Xbox One.Notes ^a An example of an unlicensed third-party guitar controller that will not be included on the list (nor a wiki article will be made for on the WikiHero) is the TAC Guitar Mania Freedom V Wireless Guitar Controller that Activision and RedOctane sued TAC for, and TAC countersued against in September 2006. Sadly, after trying out a CAD U1, I found that while I loved the mic (and the included desk stand) on the PS4, it wasn't recognized in 'RB4' on the Xbox One. (This may just be a factor of me waiting on exports to spruce up my playlists.) It's the trusty M/N A-0060A.Īfter a few rounds in 'Rock Band 4' on the Xbox One, I decided I wanted to try a different mic. Eventually, just before I picked up 'Rock Band 4' on the Xbox One, I turned up one such Logitech mic at home. The prospects I found online were not the most attractive, mostly because I didn't want an old randomly branded Logitech/Rock Band/Guitar Hero/Konami mic to show up masquerading as a new product. In the lead up to the release of ' Rock Band 4' (review here) and this week's ' Guitar Hero Live,' I decided that I would need a USB mic.
