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

I have a R0DE NT-USB and am extremely happy with it.

It comes with a desk stand and pop filter. I have it mounted on a £40 Amazon mic arm.

Oof, way too expensive for what it is. You might as well buy a Rode NT1-A complete vocal recording set.

Comes with stand, shock mount, mic, and pop filter. P much same price.

How's the USB though? I generally hate USB mics because the cable dies way too fast, and also screws the mic itself.

But I also only have experience with Blue.

Been using it for over a year and it has been bulletproof. The price wasn’t an issue, I was given it as a gift.
