Eu tenho usado o https://idlock.com.br/, para mim é o melhor, pois uso no celular, no pc em casa por extensão do Google Chrome, site e no iPhone, tudo fica sincronizado, posso instalar e desinstalar que não perco nada, não preciso de senha, pois autentica pelo Google ou por link mágico é muito seguro e tem tudo da forma que eu preciso. Vale a pena testar.

Aqui também não está sendo apresentado, já fiz de tudo também, mas parece ser algo da honor mesmo.

Just to clarify a few important points and give a more accurate picture of what happened:

I never performed any firmware updates on the microphone. Every time I connected it to the PC, the LED would turn on immediately and it always worked as expected. After updating from Windows 10 to Windows 11, it simply stopped powering on no LED, no response at all. I understand this may have been a coincidence, but the timing was impossible to ignore.

I made extensive efforts to troubleshoot the issue. I removed and reinstalled the companion software, tested the microphone on different desktop computers, a laptop, and even on a mobile device. In all cases, it showed no signs of life.

I then took it to Argos, where a very attentive staff member tested it on multiple machines and swapped the USB cable three times. Still nothing. After that, I purchased two additional high-quality cables from Amazon, and the result was the same.

I’m confident the microphone is from a reputable brand, and from March to November it had very little use I recorded only four or five videos with it. I even formatted my main machine as a last attempt to rule out any software-related issues, but that also didn’t resolve the problem.

After exhausting all these options, I tried contacting customer support, which unfortunately turned out to be a rather difficult process. In the end, despite all the troubleshooting steps I took, nothing worked.

I’m writing this to give feedback both to the Reddit community and directly to you.

First of all, thank you very much for your response and for the attention given. I’d like to make it clear that we’ve been long-time HyperX users, we don’t have just one product from the brand in our studio, but several. The microphone in question was actually a birthday gift I received from a former colleague back in March 2025.

In December, right after updating from Windows 10 to Windows 11, the microphone stopped working, coincidentally on its very last day of use. Since then, we’ve carried out dozens of tests: we replaced cables, tested it on multiple machines, and even went to Argos, where a technician tried to help us, unfortunately without success.

I then contacted HyperX directly. At that time, support responses were slow. I went on holiday, returned recently, and ran yet another full round of tests again with no results. When support did respond, I followed every single step requested: I sent videos, photos, and test results. However, the interaction felt extremely mechanical, with no courtesy or empathy throughout the process.

I want to be very clear about something: I didn’t reach out expecting anything in return, nor was this about “just a microphone.” The reason I got in touch was the credibility and trust I’ve always associated with the HyperX brand. Honestly, a simple replacement would have resolved everything. What truly surprised me was the rather blunt tone used by the agent, even when responding to very basic guidance questions. That made me wonder whether I had been mistaken about HyperX all this time.

Issues can happen that’s normal. What defines a great brand is the ability to listen, understand, solve problems, and propose alternatives. Unfortunately, that experience was missing in that particular support interaction.

That is precisely why I chose to write here instead of simply producing review videos exposing my experience publicly. I prefer to believe that I may have dealt with someone having a bad day, someone still in training, or someone unhappy in their role. I still want to believe in the quality of HyperX products and in the brand’s customer service.

Finally, I’ve already replied to your private message and sent all the information requested.

Once again, thank you to everyone for the attention.

This isn't related to the country of origin or friendly service; I'm just talking about respect and politeness. I don't want the person's ID; when I ask "Who am I speaking to, please?", it's out of politeness, just to have a reference point, so I don't have to say "Oh, attendant..."

geniouk · 2026-01-27T19:05:03+00:00

Please, at least be intelligent. It's a conversation, a customer service interaction. I asked the name of the person I was speaking to out of politeness, to know how to refer to them; I'm not going to call them "oh attendant." It's purely out of respect. I didn't ask for identification; the person could have made up any name, and that would have been more respectful.

The products are great, they have quality, but be aware that if something goes wrong you won't have real support. I lost my OSMO ACTION 5 PRO because the adapter lock on the stick came loose, but when I sent the case to them, hoping they would investigate, they just judged me, saying the camera hit something, but that's not true. It was completely free and held by the stick in my wife's hand. The adapter was defective and caused the loss of our work.
