Lanny, I will let you know for sure when my friends mic comes in and I can play with it. I assume the software is a driver, but it also has it's own popup window with a volume control so it may have some extra stuff as well, I dunno. I'm guessing that it may work with the keyboard, but as a general rule, if you want to be SURE that USB is going to work, plug it direct to the CPU's USB port. But I'll let you know how it works. -Preston >Preston, > >Curiosity before reading the manual prompts me to ask: Does this all >just plug into the USB port, even on the keyboard? > >Is there software, drivers? > >thanks, > >Lanny
