same time, even under yellow (I have to move my keyboard to a
hard-to-reach location when I race). Has anyone used GameCommander or
anything similar with any success?
TIA,

Yes, been using GameCommander for quite a while now, first with N3 and now
with N4. I find it very effective and I've not detected any impact on N4's
performance when GC is running.

It was just annoying enough to warrant taking back :)
Big Bummer - It doesn't split the voice communications off into the headset,
while leaving the game sounds on the main speakers. It's either all on the
headset, or all on the speakers. Voice comms AND game sounds. That was a
poor design decision.

Still, it's not good, and it's one of the reasons voice command software
hasn't taken off. I'm not disabling Altec 885 speakers to listen to a $20
headset. When my main speakers are enabled, the game sounds repeatedly (and
very annoyingly) get interpreted by GC as commands. Plus, I just didn't have
the same success others did in this thread. I found myself trying to be
ultra-quiet, as even coughing would get interpreted as a command, and about
20-30% of my commands were mis-interpreted by GC.

I didn't have my mic volume too high, as I tried about a million different
settings trying to get it to work.
GC2 works fine with other games, haven't tried N4 yet.
You can get it in CompUSA for $20, cheaper than ordering
from the official website, even with discount codes!

99% does not cut it. My keyboard recognizes 100% of commands. I have GC2 and
I played around with all the options on two differnet soundcards, SB Live!
and Santa Cruz and too often I found GC2 recognizes the wrong commands, I
used the mic that came with the retal version of GC2. I felt rather silly
talking to my computer anyway. As it is, GC2 is collecting dust in a drawer.
