Roccat Torch review: A fun USB mic for gamers and streamers

Do you need a microphone designed specifically for gamers if you’re using it for video games? No, of course not (unless you’re looking for a USB microphone for streaming, that is). All-around great choices like the Blue Yeti X are just as good for gaming as they are for podcasting or meetings. But do you want a USB microphone designed with gamers in mind? If the answer is yes, Roccat’s Torch might be right up your alley.

The Roccat Torch is a fun, flashy microphone for gamers and streamers, or anyone who likes some desktop bling. Don’t expect incredible audio quality and you won’t be disappointed.

Cool looks; Easy controls; “Whisper” mode for late night sessions;

Weird extra cable; Gesture mute is awkward; Recording quality is just OK;
