External Mic is picking up mouse and keyboard

[Connod]

I use headphones and an external Mic when gaming. However my team mates on discord can hear my mouse and mechanical keyboard. Does anyone know how to prevent this?

 

I have my Mic as far away as possible and as close to me mouth as possible so I can lower the input volume. I've added rubber o rings to my keyboard to quieten it a bit. 

 

I was contemplating getting a keyboard with mx silent switches and the o rings but it's expensive.

Also considered a highly directional shotgun mic to try and isolate my voice. But also expansive.

 

Youtubers have videos using external Mics and playing with other people. How can they do it?

I have the same problem, i just try to keep the mic as close to my face as possible and on discord i think my audio detection is at like 43 db.

It also wouldn't help too much. We're usually playing PUBG and so I will usually still be pressing keys when talking
