Logitech produces a series of computer microphones that can be used to record memos, voice chat in various applications (such as instant messengers and games) or record audio from external devices. All Logitech microphones come with their own built-in drivers and require no installation. You still have to adjust the settings to your liking in the Windows control panel.
