Spec me a microphone £30 budget

[watkins]

Hi there, I currently run a stream on TwitchTV (won't advertise because I believe that'd be against OCUK policy/inpolite.) Essentially I need a mic that is very clear in terms of picking up my voice and also my keyboard typing (sounds nice on stream to compliment your voice.) So if you guys can link me to a microphone; either clip-on or something I can use easily on my desktop, that'd be pretty awesome.

Thanks guys,
Ryan.

Would you be interested in a headset with a mic? or does it have to be a stand-alone mic?

Either would be fine

I have one of these and it's very good indeed, however I only use for Skype and conference calls. Has a very clear sound and if you walk away from the mic (say other side of room) it still manages to work very well, it will also pick up keyboard typing if mic is close. Being USB there is no messing around with setup either, it's just plug and play.

This.

Check out the reviews on youtube where they show the quality vs other mics, it also allows you to use whatever headphones you want.

Would also be my suggestion.

A desktop mic would be a LOT better at picking up the sound of your typing than a mic positioned near your mouth.
