Not for me. When I turn on my Logitech G/933 (not a niche device by any means), nothing happens in Windows - the headset just turns on (note: not plugging it in, turning it on). I have to tell Windows my default playback device is the headset, that routes all game audio to that headset rather than my speakers. Then when Im done, I turn off the headset, and now I have to tell Windows my default playback device is my speakers. Thats what a casual user would have to research to figure out how to do, since it involves right-clicking the volume control, choosing Playback Devices, then choose the headset and press the Default button.
And, in the game I use them the most in, Final Fantasy XIV, I must do that before launching the game, because the game locks in your default sound device at launch.
On a console, the headsets are bluetooth, and once you pair them they just work.
Holy shit, they have to right click something? That's some hardcore tinkering.
Also, you don't even need to do that anymore on Windows 10. Just click the volume icon and select your playback device from a drop down.
I'm not going to argue that PC gaming is accessible as consoles, but some of the arguments put forward in this thread make the average console gamer sound like the laziest, dumbest motherfuckers alive.
