Ive got my mic on an arm and its hanging to the left of my desk.

it needs to be in front of you keyboard. You mic picks up everything from the sides and from the front, but not the back, so in theory it should help to have the mic in front of the keyboard.

Hello,

I have a question...
When I'm gaming and talking to my friends on discord, they can hear keyboard very loud.
I tried to set the sensitivity of my microphone lower. but then my voice is too silent.
I'm thinking about buying O-rings for my keyboard.
But if there is another way to minimalize the background sound, I will try that.
Does someone know another way?

I've got a corsair k70 lux keyboard and a rode nt-usb microphone.

 

Thanks a lot and sorry for my bad english.....

Use push to talk. Also, if there's a setting to make it unidirectional, do that too.

I like where your going.

 

Its probably just the mic. I have seen headsets with awesome mics, and some with mics that pick up background noise better than your voice.

Computers r fun

the placement of the mic and the pickup pattern are both very important. His mic has a polar pattern, which is good here.

 

This leads me to belive that he has his mic standing on his desk with that little tripod, that he got with his mic.
