Recording device for gaming

[Heizu]

Hey guys 

So after years of putting up with a crappy headset ive decided to upgrade

Im looking for something that has clear audio and can silence background noise (not too much too begin with tho)

If possible i would also like zero lag output port (theres a word for this just not coming to me >.<) 

This will be mainly for gaming and some audio recording.

I would like to stay away from bulky headsets as i often find them uncomfortable and they mess up my fro ya feel meh?!

You guys have any ideas what i should buy? Budget ~100

Any suggestions are welcome

Thanks!

Audio Technica ATR2100 would fit your budget... and you'd still have change from it.

Don't be fooled by the looks. It looks like a handheld mic, but the fact that its a dynamic microphone (like the Rode Podcaster and the Procaster) means you are incredibly less likely to pick up background noise. Its like someone has to ram a car in your front door and explode for the mic to pick it up as background noise. But still, it'd pick up your voice... you'd just have to be 18 inches close to the mic. Depending on your table setup (like, how big your table is, how much space you have left after putting your stuff there, how much room you can put for the mic, etc...), it'd work.

That seems pretty good deal wise, id be able to pick up pop filter and arm for under 100 too

But i thought condenser microphones where better for my situation?

Condenser mics tend to be ridiculously sensitive. Meaning that the mic is bound to pick up the sound of a pin dropping like 10 feet away at the height of 1 ft. A dynamic mic is kind of the opposite with its frequencies optimized to pick up vocals (I dunno how those engineers can calculate which specific frequency range it is that is should be sensitive to and what sound it should be recording, while being insensitive enough that a vacuum cleaner has to be 1 foot close to it for the mic to pick it up... but its worked for years, much to my surprise)

Frequency wise its just a series of band filters in order to accomplish it. Aha i know the general idea but not enough experience with audio equipment to know what type of mic to use . Well thanks for your input ill probably pick on up soon.

Logitech G930's are pretty damn good with programmable gaming keys but you could get like a Blue snow ball with a pop filter for cheap on ebay and then pick up a pair of AKG K240's because the bass is decent and the highs are pretty clear as well

If you don't mind the background noise that it can record and/or if you don't like dealing with background noise in post-production, then that'd be great.
