Whats a good microphone for gaming?

[MrImnotMLG]

I use a mod mic. $50 and you can use your old headphones. Can't go wrong.

But people are saying it's not loud enough for gaming though.

Samson C03U is a really good microphone. Using it for the past 4 years without any problem.

Any idea about the blue microphone?

I've gotta say I have owned nearly every Mic people typically recommend, Blue Snowball, Blue Yeti, Mod MIc, you name it. They all are the same crap. And I've been generally displeased with all of them. They don't sound that great and offer very little options if you end up with a USB Mic. If you're going to spend money on a mic, save up and get something nice like a AT2020 and a Mixer, I personally use a 402VLZ4 with Onyx Preamp. 

 

Just my 2 cents, I stream and all that good stuff and this received by far the most praise.

But thats like extreme i only said i want it for gaming though im not even going live streaming or anything i just want people to hear me better tbh

Well my point was, if you're not getting something nice its really all the same. Look at something like this https://www.vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/index.htm

 

Use it to turn up your volume for games because you're not really upgrading at all going to anything like that. Its going to be nearly indistinguishable.

This is what I use. Audio Technica AT2020 USB+. Amazing mic, got it for $100 used.

You could buy one of these. Don't quote me though, I don't have any experience with them.

Snowball has been good to me and is a good option if you arent super worried about quality, as long as its a reasonable distance away it will sound fine. I would suggest a boom arm and pop filter if possible theyre pretty cheap on amazon and clean up the desk a lot.
