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
Audio guy here… I honestly don’t know of any PCI cards. The main problem is the connecter for these types of mics is too big to fit on a card like that. The Focusrite is awesome bang for your buck. I would try to hide it behind your desk. There’s no reason really for you to keep it on top.
If you’re that concerned about having an extra piece of hardware on your desk, you could try something like a high quality USB mic. I like the Shure MV7. But there are a ton like them if you search for mics made for podcasting.
