Hello, I am looking for a mic to use while gaming. I already have a pair of Audio Technica m40x that I want to use as my headphones. I am now in need of a mic. I would like it to be a mic that is $25 USD or less. Needless to say, quality as well. I don't care if its a lav or a desktop mic. It must connect via USB or 3.5mm input jack. And be somewhat able to only pick me up but that's not a huge deal since I don't game in a loud place.
Thanks in advance for suggestions!

no offense man but as far as i know u most likely arent gnna find anything good for that price, if u could afford more get the cad u37 or blue snowball. both are 50 dollars on amazon. but if not try and get a desktop mic on ur budget. i cant reccomend any because there arent really any good ones but desktop mics would generally be better since theyre built to capure voice better from farther distances and it proably wouldnt pick up heavy breathing or stuff like that
