I’ll be brief. I’ve been looking for a mic for a long time now. My current one started dying and is really bad.

All I’d like is some shock absorption, for keyboard and stuff to not be earrape.

Some sort of mic arm, I wouldn’t like to take space up infront of my keyboard, and to put it behind it would probably be a bad idea.

On another note is: please don’t say HyperX, I don’t really like that brand.

mt budget is: as cheap as possible, but still not shit quality, AKA whatever you’d buy

    No, it wouldn’t work without the interface and onboard audio cards don’t have a XLR connection. The interface is the audio card. It’s just external.

    While it’s possible to get an XLR to USB adapter, these generally work even worse than a USB microphone. I tried that without success before acknowledging that I should get an interface.

    The same microphone is also available for USB, but I have not tried this one. It might be as good or bad as any other USB microphone. https://www.thomann.de/gb/the_t.bone_sc_420_usb_desktop_set.htm

    I have the XLR version of this and it’s very good at capturing subtle details even at distance and it has a nice clean signal. This could actually be an issue for recording streaming as it definitely will pick up the keyboard tapping and any noise in the room, but the reviews look good. People do use it for streaming. It’s still a USB microphone with all the disadvantages of those, but at least it’s better than what you’d find in the gaming section in a general electronic store at similar pricing.

        Thanks for the notification. I was planning on getting back to you, but I got a little busy and understand that you can’t wait forever for some random internet person. I’m sure it goes fine. I’ve never had any issues with them.

      you seem very proficient in this website, and it can deliver to me in two business days. Can you recommend me well, a set, let’s say under 100punds, I really feel uncomfortable spending more and not doing any work with it
