After a microphone for gaming.

Hopefully the title made sense.

Been deciding to get PUBG and I know I will need a mic. Preferably one with a pop filter because I use a Mech keyboard, and a table clamp would be ideal.

Looked at the "Blue" but can't see how I'd attach a filter.

Up to £50 preferred and USB or plug socket is fine if needs be.

I'll be using my speakers for audio, and mic for voice. I don't like headset because it changes the voice in my head if you know what I mean.

A pop filter won't stop the mech keyboard noise. You can put a filter on the blue snowball but I don't think you'll need to unless you have it very close to your mouth

Ever make a decision on this? I'm in the same situation. Getting a pair of Beyer DT990s and want a good mic to go with them in my new home office setup.

Surely something up close to your mouth with some noise cancelling software would work better?

Have you got a nice pair of cans you use?

The Blue snowball is tempting. Cans as in headphones? I use these https://vintageking.com/media/catalog/product/a/u/audio-technica_ath-m50x_blue_1.jpg

Didn't know any noise cancelling software to be honest.

Report back with your opinion of the Snowball if you get it, I'm tempted myself. Currently using a little Zalman that sits on the wire of my cans.
