Gaming Mic Help

Hello, I am looking for a mic to use while gaming. I already have a pair of Audio Technica m40x that I want to use as my headphones. I am now in need of a mic. I would like it to be a mic that is $25 USD or less. Needless to say, quality as well. I don't care if its a lav or a desktop mic. It must connect via USB or 3.5mm input jack. And be somewhat able to only pick me up but that's not a huge deal since I don't game in a loud place. 

Thanks in advance for suggestions!

You're not going to find any good mics for that budget. 

Intel Core i7-6700K | Corsair H105 | Asus Z170I PRO GAMING | G.Skill TridentZ Series 16GB | 950 PRO 512GB M.2

 

Asus GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB STRIX OC | BitFenix Prodigy (Black/Red) | XFX PRO Black Edition 850W

I'm not sure if you get a "gaming" mic under that price. I've noticed that most of the good mics are at least $50 for one. Headsets most likely cost much more. But if you're fine with a generic one. I'm sure there some out there.
