Great mic that bridges entry level and professional and is a great addition to any WFH office. I've had mine for 4 years going strong and it's something that I use everyday. When COVID hit and I was forced to teach online instead of on campus, I got so many compliments on how clearly my voice came through during lectures. When my dad went WFH I bought him one as well and neither of us have had a single problem. The one "downside" that I will say is that the USB cable that connects the mic is relatively short (6'), but it's a mini-USB cable and you can easily buy a longer one on Amazon for like $8 if it's important.

I highly recommend this microphone, as a refurb it'd be a great gift for a college student or PC gamer. $40 is a steal.

How do you keep it from picking up keyboard sounds?

For me I spent the money on an amazon basics boom arm, was like $17. Put the mic into cardioid (front facing) and the mic is actually really great about not picking up sounds from behind or below it. It does help for me that I use a membrane keyboard, so it's a little quieter.

If you're using software like OBS for or something for content creation, there are a ton of videos out there that can show you how to manipulate filters to really get your voice coming through without any of the background noise.

Received mine today and it has really bad static that I cant troubleshoot. Tried multiple usb cords on multiple ports on multiple computers and could not get it to go away. Messed with gain, all the settings, computers settings etc. The power port on the mic itself is very loose and i think it could be the curprit. Seems shit-ily refurbished.

I had high hopes but this but its going back
