I'm in the market for new microphone as i am moving away from a "gaming headset" to headphones + mic. :)

I would like to be noise cancelling since i have a mechanical keyboard. And yes i know that 15$ won't make a good mic, but just suggest the best i can get.

 

Location: Denmark (U.K Amazon)

 

Thats MY opinion up there, not the ultimate option.

The Zalman ZM-Mic 1 is a great mic for the money. It heavily depends on the soundcard, most realtek soundcards make it sound noisy.

Asus B85M-G / Intel i5-4670 / Sapphire 290X Tri-X / 16GB RAM (Corsair Value 1x8GB + Crucial 2x4GB) @1333MHz / Coolermaster B600 (600W) / Be Quiet! Silent Base 800 / Adata SP900 128GB SSD & WD Green 2TB & SG Barracuda 1TB / Dell AT-101W / Logitech G502 / Acer G226HQL & X-Star DP2710LED

Can you link a list?

 

List what exactly? Motherboards that use realtek soundcards? I'd suggest just to buy the ZM-mic1, do some recordings and see if you like it or not. If it's noisy, it's something a cheap soundcard could fix, because they apparently are better for microphones. There are some reviews on youtube with sound tests, if you wanna hear what you can expect.
