As the title states, I want to get a mic for streaming but I've been reading a lot of conflicting information about various mics. From what I've gathered (please correct me if I'm wrong) dynamic mics are better than condenser mics because the condenser mics such as the Blue Yeti or AT2020 I was looking at pick up a lot of background noise. I have a very noisy Razer mechanical keyboard so I want to ensure I can cancel as much noise as possible. My budget is around <$160. What are your suggestions? Thank you for any feedback.
 
Solution
If you are concerned about background noise you need to look at the pickup pattern, so for example the 2020 is a cardioid pattern, which predominantly picks up in a directional fashion, which is better.
The AT2020 would serve you well.
