Hello. I have a problem and i want some help.
this is my setup

microphone: seiren x
ps4
ripsaw
logitech g29

the problem is that in my gaming videos my microphone catches clicks of my racing wheel that is on my desk. also it records the sound of wheel when turning. now i have my microphone on the desk and i saw that vibrations transfered through desk to microphone.
For that reason i decided to buy rode PSA-1 boom. i believe that my this way i will remove some sound.

check this video: https://youtu.be/VWG9SCOp3Mo

you can hear the clicks of my padles and the sound when turniing the wheel.
So is there any chance to remove this sounds with filters?
i tryed noise suppresion
and vst filters that i downloaded but i had other problem.
for example i have a bougkround noise from my pc's fan. and this sound gone worse. Also my voice a lot times was cutted.

can anyone tell my what filters i have to enable?

thank you.(sorry for my english)

Don't use a microphone that has some distance to your mouth. That will always catch the noises of your environment. Use a microphone that's near your mouth: 1 cm to 10 cm. This includes headsets and stand-alone microphones that can be clipped to your shirt or collar.
The more far the microphone is from your mouth, the more background noises are recorded, because they get louder in comparison to your voice, which gets quieter in comparison to the background noises. If the microphone has about the same distance to your mouse as to your mouth, it's no wonder why it records the clicks very prominently.
There are microphones with directional pattern. They record whats in one direction and suppress what's from everywhere else. You might look for these, but if such a micro is 0.5m away, which seems the case in your video, this may not work at all, because you may be too far away in any case. To be able to use semi-professional audio equipment, the acoustic characteristics of your studio (your room) must meet semi-professional requirements as well, such as the absence of noise sources. You don't have PCs and fans in such studios: they are external.

The most easy and cheap solution is a microphone directly near your mouth. This way, your voice is so loud in the recording that any noises simply vanish.
