Does this mic pick up keyboard noises? I have a mechanical cherry mx blue keyboard and I'm worried about loud clacking in the back recordings.

Yes but this mic didn't work at all for me. No one could hear me unless I was right next to the mic and even then it was very faint. I DO NOT recommend this.

Put the mic on a stand (when possible). That will eliminate the mechanical noise completely. Otherwise, the shock mount will reduce the noise quite a bit.

No issues as far as I've had it. It's only been 4 months but overall amazing mic!

It doesn't necessarily silence the noise, but it does reduce the sound. I have a Rosewill MX Blue and I definitely noticed a noise reduction. Once you install the O-ring, you will notice that the keys become a little stiff when you try to bottom out the key. It doesn't make it quiet overall like the MX Browns in terms of tactile keyboards, but I guess you can say it's in between the MX Browns and MX Blues in terms of noise. I hope this makes sense for you.

I bought this mic with a pop filter, but I bought my brother the same mic without one when we started recording podcasts as co-hosts. It definitely worked well and for the longest time we didn't even bother with the pop filter. That said, you can pick up a $3 or $4 foam filter for it at the time of purchase (as an add-on item) that will probably make sense to do. We eventually bought him a form pop filter and it is better, but it was certainly decent without it as well.

My experience is that it is a great recording mic. It was not meant for live performances as the design is sensitive to movement hence the rubber suspension holding mechanism to reduce vibrations. Good Luck.

If you've got your sound settings adjusted correctly then you shouldn't have to worry about too much background noise. I never had any issues with background noise while using this mic.

The mics in this recorder are sensitive. It might sound s little bit tinny that way, but it will do it.

My friends seem to have no problem with my mic. If you'd heard some of their headset mics you'd probably be quite satisfied with it too. For example, the Alienware headset doesn't have any noise cancellation and picks up a great amount of background noise, and the Razer Kraken Pro has great sound quality but a poor quality mic. Those 2 are the main ones everyone i've seen is buying, I have seen a great many other mics and this one so far beats them all. =) In my opinion, if you have the black shark's mic the correct distance away from your mouth, its sound quality is unbeatable next to a singing mic or something...

The keys, while not completely silent, make very little noise while typing. I have never had an issue where people could hear my keys though the microphone.

It really depends on whether or not you have a soft touch keyboard. The microphone is very sensitive and you can set the record feature to be one directional, but I doubt if the keyboarding sound will be eliminated completely. I use it with my desktop, but I never type at the same time. I wouldn't count on having the sound totally undetected.

Reckful on twitch uses this mic for his stream. See one of his vods to see how the keyboard gets picked up.

I agree that this kb is moderate in noise, definitely not quiet. Also agree it would be annoying in a library. Have not had usb issues. Have had issues with a somewhat sticky, less than ideally response backspace key.

Eh...it's a great mic, but if you have speakers on, there WILL be feedback sent through. I don't think there's a mic that can realistically cancel out sound from the speakers but still pick up your voice. They advertise it as such, but the tech isn't really there. It's a great mic though for all intents and purposes!

Mines did the samething you would have to bare it, but the mic is still good. Maybe the mic is not fully compatable with the computer.

it depends how loud your keyboard is, and how close it is to the keyboard. but if you have a machanical keyboard then i would say almost any mic will pick up your keyboard\
