Wii Logitech Microphones

Hi all,

I have just tried playing Disney Sing It with my Singstar microphones. It won't work and asks for Logitech ones.

On Amazon, the Wii Logitech mic is £20 (for one! I bought the pair of singstar mics for that!). However, there are identical looking Logitech XBOX 360 ones for just over £10 (from the marketplace).

So my question is, will the XBOX one work in the Wii? Are they really the same?

I'm still annoyed that the singstar ones don't work.

Do they work with any Wii games?

Cheers,
Matt

The SingStar mics are not "standard" game microphone hardware and will only work with the PS2 and PS3 consoles. FWIW, they're awful when used with any game other than SingStar if my experiences with it on the PS3 version of RB1 are anything to go by. The Logitech mics are simply far better.

In answer to your question, the Logitech Vantage USB wired mics are all exactly the same and will work across all platforms, so if you purchased the Xbox 360 branded mic I would work without issue on your Wii. Just by way of an example, I use the black PS2/PS3 branded mic with my Xbox 360 Elite and there are no problems whatsoever (I even won the AVF RB2 Vox tournament with it).

Thanks PlexShaw,

So I'll get a pair of XBOX 360 mics.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Cheers,
Matt

Do let us know how you get on as this is the sort of informtion is potentially useful to a lot of people, even those randomly searching the web for answers.

Ok, well my black Logitech Vantage mic arrived today. It's marked up as designed for PS2/PS3.

It worked flawlessly with Wii Disney Sing It - High School Musical 3.

Also worked on my PC with Ultrastar Deluxe.

Guess I'll have to order another one now, to try and avoid arguments!

Thanks to all for their help.

Cheers,
Matt

DO you have a link for the mics please?

They were on eBay. When I was looking before Christmas there seemed to be loads, now I can't find many at all - certainly not at the price I payed.
Here is an eBay ID 310181350804.
I bought two and payed £10.99 and £11.99 as 'Buy It Now' prices inc delivery.

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Matt
