Question / Help Keyboard noise reduction

[Hunlight]

Hello,
I tried to search for solution in google or in forums all I found is to suggestions to use noise gate, I tried integrated one which doesn't work and then downloaded plugin for noise gate called Reaper or smth. Yes it works but with keyboard sounds it reducing my voice, after lowering the settings my voice is back so the keyboard sounds. I understand that my keyboard is kinda loud as its half membrane half mechanical ryzer ornata chroma and my mic is samson c01u. Any advice how to fix it ?

Noise Gate etc. can only help in situations where only the keyboard is active or only your voice is active (and even then it's not easy, as the keyboard noise has a frequency that microphones will pick up pretty easily and loud).
The only real fix is changing the keyboard to a something with more quiet keys or use a different mic setup.

Large condenser mics are bad in those setups. Dynamic mics and are better suited to eliminate background sounds but they need to be placed very near to your mouth.

I see many streamers with great mics but horrible sound, as they simply place their mic on the desk or at least 40cm away from their mouth and near to the mouse/keyboard. Of course they all use freaking loud mechanical keyboards and the result is bad audio.
Even a normal headset mic will do a better job when it comes to improve the balance between voice vs. ambient noise.

So there is really no other solution but to change mic ? I just bought this keyboard payed alot definitely wont change it in near future. Also Im using that mic stand not sure how its called like iron holder and my mic is not that far away from mouth but its also not far away from keyboard my hands not 5m long to change smth with this, mby there is some other solutions like use some noise suppression or smth ?

There may be a filter or tool to suppress keyboard noise, while you don't talk. As soon as voice+keyboard are active at the same time, the keyboard noise will be present.
Do you have an XLR mic Setup? If so, you can try something like a Behringer XM800 Ultravoice. It's cheap, it's dynamic and if you can place it near your mouth, it will greatly reduce your keyboard noise.

My Mic is Samson C01U, and I think I found the solution plugin called Reaper reafir_standalone, I used automatic make noise gate smashed my keyboard as never before and now all the keyboard sounds are gone ( or at least is baaaaaarely hearable) try it Im so happy I found it, still need to test it but I just tried to record a video and its works.
