I don't mean to go off topic but have you compared the AT2020 to the Blue Yeti? The Yeti is quite sensitive to background noise and I kind of regret purchasing it.

Yep. My desk is kindof full so I can't really position it far and I cannot find a stand and shockmount that would fit the yeti easily according to amazon reviews so this is why I am considering the AT2020 now.

the AT2020 is very good for vocals but it will still pick up keyboard clicks and mouse clicks but no were near as bad and can be easily edited out I had both the snowball & the yeti and had the same problems as you thats why I sold them I think both the mics are very overrated....so hows that boom arm coming?  ;)

Picking them up is fine as long as it isn't louder than my own voice  :lol:

Is a full on mic stand ok or does it need to clip onto a table top?
