Question / Help best noisegate settings to cut out razer blackwidow key strokes

i have the tourney edition blackwidow 2014 blue chips, i use a hyperx cloud headset and it works BRILLIANT! you need a good condensed microphone bro then you use noisegate. noisegate isn't something you really use when you have a poor or not high quality microphone while trying to mute the strokes of the blackwidow man. my older brother just bought me the headset for my birthday and it works! very very easy and makes the stream so much better now, people do not complain anymore ;D

Move the mic closer to your mouth, and turn the level down. Buy a mic arm if necessary. Large capsule condenser mics are meant for use in an acoustically-controlled environment as they are sensitive, and by design pick up EVERYTHING. They're also designed for use at ranges of 6 inches to a foot, so the Yeti-included desk stand is, for the most part, useless.

Large-cap condenser mics are not meant for livestreaming, even if it's become the fad on Twitch to use them.

If you move the mic closer to your mouth and still have issues, try putting a dishtowel under your keyboard to help isolate it from the desktop and cut down on resonant amplification. If you're on OBS Classic, you can also use the Mic DSP Plugin:

An unfortunate side effect of the plugin is that your mic level won't be displayed on the Mic channel meter (muting still is handled from there) and will be combined with the System channel meter. So it could be hard to get and monitor a good game/voice balance.
