It does not. I had a yeti for years, even with the gain down all the way it picked up my keyboard (blue keys). Also picks up a lot of background noise since it is a condenser mic. If you want better noise isolation you want to get a dynamic mic
with that said, this is still a solid deal for those looking. OP repped

This is popular amongst streamers though most graduate to an XLR setup. Usb interface + XLR mic. If you have a sound treated room this will work fine, if you have a lot of background noise then probably not the best option
Was also able to get same day delivery for free. IT added $2.50 to my order but to get this guy before christmas... yeet lmao

At $359 the Shure SM7B is almost 5 times as expensive as this one on sale. How much better is the Shute?
The best way to ensure you can get it close to your face is to buy a microphone arm. Oh, and talk into the side of this mic, not the top. And keep the mic pattern on cardioid.
SM7B is what I currently have and I think it's definitely worth it. But it definitely is a big investment. You may want to start with a more basic setup like a Behringer um2 USB interface and a behringer XM8500. This will run you with cables about $70-$80. It doesn't look as nice as the SM7B but it will introduce you on how to use a dynamic mic. Imo XM8500 sounds better than the yeti and provides better noise isolation
I would say check videos on audio recordings and how they sound, for people who literally work daily with it I'm sure it's been worth it for them but for most people the yeti probably works just fine. The yeti and the shure are different types of mic, so it depends on more on your usage style.
