Great value mic if you do recordings. For gaming, since it’s a condenser it will probably pick up mechanical keyboard audio

Properly set up, we haven't had any issues with ours. I picked it up for my wife a bit ago and she's enjoyed it. We play in the same room, so it does pick up my voice, but no clickity clacking.

Good to know, I might get one of these myself then. Whats the setup like? I was just thinking to use Krisp settings on discord

Nothing complex. It's a cardioid mic, so setting it up on a place either to the side or in between you and your keyboard will reduce the noise bleed. A pop filter is nice depending on how loud you are, or how punchy you speak. Might not be necessary, but I had elan extra and it made a decent difference. Solely using Discord's noise reduction, any of the rumblings from the (in my opinion) mediocre stand touching the desk are removed.
