So I have been trying whatever I can do to stop the sounds of clicking my mouse, and the sounds of my keyboard. I tried using a noise gate, and that did not work, so I need help.
Question / Help Stopping KeyBoard Sounds/ Mouse Clicking

Move your mic closer to your mouth, and turn down the gain. This really is the only way to exclude it, given the ranges involved.
If you're already wearing a headset mic, you may need to go to a higher quality one, or one with a cardioid or hypercardioid pickup pattern. But if you're using something like a Yeti on a desk stand, getting keyboard/mouse noise is to be expected.
You can also put a towel under your keyboard to help minimize resonant or conductive amplification by your desk-top, but mouse clicks generally aren't picked up that much as they tend to be higher range... conductive amp more goes for lower frequencies like hitting the spacebar with your thumb generally leads to.
If you opt for a large-capsule mic, be aware that they are meant for use at ranges under one foot, and normally with a pop filter. Many headset mics are a much better fit for livestreaming, and large-cap mics are really more of a current fad on Twitch... they're more meant for use in an acoustically-controlled studio environment, as they will pick up MORE ambient noise, by design. Plus it can look a bit obnoxious to have a huge mic sitting on-camera, which is kind of necessary due to the limitations noted above.
