I've been thinking of buying a wireless gaming headset too. How good is the Linux support on the dongles?

Perfect for mine. I think they usually don't need special drivers.

They almost all show up as a standard USB sound card to the OS, sometimes two on particularly fancy ones allowing you to separately balance chat and game, so you should be fine.

Same here. My Logitech gaming headset works great in Linux. I do have to use some third party thing to adjust the goofy LED colors and side channel volume, though.
