Ideal mic placement?

[aeroencychris]

Hi,

I've been struggling for a while as to where to put my mic in order to pick up my voice and not as much my loud blue switch keyboard. I just redid my setup today and moved the PC to the left side instead of the right of my desk (mainly for cable management), but my problem still stands as to what spot is ideal. Before I had stuck it between the two monitors, but it slightly blocked Spotify/other programs open, so that wasn't great (also picked up my keyboard primarily).

Right now I have it off to the left as seen in the picture but I still feel like it could be improved. A movable arm mount would be great but I'm not sure where to mount it. Any ideas?

 

edit: excuse the shitty furniture, I live in a dorm so I just deal with what they give me

Get a cheap MIc arm, there about 10 to 15 bucks and are very nice.

Yes but my problem is where to put it

Buy a retractable cheap mic arm and either nail it to the wall, or even attach it to your desk. Maybe even nail the arm to that book shelf to the left.
