If you use VoIP (voice over IP), you might as well make yourself comfortable and lose the wires. For such a reasonable price tag, the Microsoft LifeChat ZX-6000 is ideal for occasional and home VoIP users.

Separate interfaces for configuring mouse and keyboard ; Mushy mouse buttons ; Overall cheap feel

The desktop comes with a three-year warranty--the industry standard for desktop sets is two years--and you get free phone support for the first 90 days; after that, each request costs you money. Microsoft's support Web site has a searchable knowledge...
