The best working solution (and also the cheapest) I found is this TRRS audio cable from Monoprice for about $5. Another downside here is that you have to explicitly switch to USB audio using the Sound preference pane, which can be annoying at times. It was a little cheaper at $10.95 and worked great, but came with a huge downside: It uses one of only TWO total USB ports on your MacBook Pro – a precious resource that I was already using (and thus had to also use a USB hub). That cable purchase has soured my view on the TRRS splitters for a while, so I opted for a USB audio adapter to 3.5mm input/output jacks instead. The customer reviews are mixed, but don’t gamble on it. The cable is flimsy and cheap, and didn’t even work at all. When it arrived, it was clear that the price of the cable is about 3x what it should be. I cringed and made the purchase thinking it would be worth it if it solved my problem. I did some searching and originally purchased this Headset Buddy cable from Amazon. I guess it makes sense for Apple to standardize everything so you can use their headphones everywhere, but it caught me offguard and really frustrated me that I would have to buy something extra just to continue using my headset.
I did some searching around, and discovered that Apple changed the standard dual input/output 3.5mm jacks for a single combined TRRS 3.5mm jack with 3 contacts – the same one they use for the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. I love it that Apple’s hardware is on the cutting edge, but sometimes they do things like this that just don’t make sense for the average user.
I use a regularly use a gaming headset with a boom mic that was now rendered completely useless, because I was no longer able to plug in the mic.

The entire trackpad surface acts as a button so you can easily click anywhere.
