Dynamic and Condenser are types of microphones. Not mic patterns like cardoid, or omni-directional.

From the description itself:
"ADJUSTABLE POLAR PATTERNS - Tailor your recording with selectable Stereo, Omnidirectional, Cardioid, and Bidirectional patterns, optimizing sound capture for any application with a simple rotary switch."

I got this mic in 2021 on sale for $29, and it was a great mic for that price. Used it a lot for Zoom and Teams while working from home during the pandemic (and all the way up til my retirement in 2024). Had no problems with it, no complaints from anyone on the calls. I used speakers for listening, not headphones, and the mic didn't have any problem with picking up stray sounds. I had it set on the Cardioid pattern (accidentally had it set on Bidirectional once, and had huge problems with echo!). for sixteen bucks, if you need something like this, it's a no-brainer. Sweetwater still has them listed for $79. The Blue Yeti that this one is a copy of sells for $109.

If you want a good mic that doesn't pick up surrounding noise like your mouse clicks and keyboard strokes, then get a dynamic mic. A condenser mic picks up everything.

Also, this mic uses usb mini for whatever reason.

I got this a few years ago for about twice the cost. Well worth it. It is probably bigger than you think it is.
I have down hours and hours of MS Teams call with this mic using external speakers or headphones. Everyone always says I sound good when using it. I have also used this for narrating instructional videos and it provides very clear audio. Outside of me not liking to hear my own voice, it is great for the money.

So I own this mic and every mic pattern it has picks up my mouse clicks and mechanical keyboard strokes no matter where I position my mic according to the pattern. That is because condenser mics are (generally) more sensitive than dynamic mics.

The proximity of my mouse and keyboard in relation to the mic is the biggest factor. A dynamic mic being less sensitive would work better as my original comment suggests.

Less sensitive just means it requires more amplification to produce the sames sounds at a given pressure level. That has nothing to do with how much "noise" the microphone picks up. Turning down the input level on the condenser mic would have the same effect. All things being equal, the microphones chosen accoustic pattern will determine how much it picks up outside noise.

A super-cardoid condenser mic would be leaps and bounds better at cancelling outside noise then a omni-directional dynamic mic.

That this particicular mic didn't cancel outside noises well for you has nothing to do with the mic type and everything to do with the way that it failed to implement pattern usage properly.

This is my daily driver for Teams and recording the occasional YouTube explainer video for coworkers. GREAT construction. Sounds good too. I've been really happy with it for going on three years.

You don't know what you're talking about and sporky is right. "Turning down the input level on the condenser mic" would not have the same effect. None of those pickup patterns do any "cancelling outside noise." Dynamic and condenser mics are very different. Condenser microphones are very sensitive, they always sound terrible in untreated rooms due to the amount of reflections.

I have this mic, been using it for a few years. No complaints whatsoever. A few tricks to get more out of it:
  1. Install VB Cable driver and route this through OBS.
  2. Use OBS filters to further enhance the audio quality.
  3. If you are even more adventurous,record yourself (using Audacity or your choice of recording software) then upload it to ChatGPT. it will run diagnosis and guide you through optimal filter settings.
  4. Last but not the least: the quality of your recording also deeply depends on where you record so if you can set up sound absorbing materials around you like floor carpet, keyboard and mouse pad, sound absorbing panels on the walls,etc

Here is video proof that a dynamic mic is better for minimizing background noise like keyboard strokes and mouse clicks than a condenser mic:

You should watch the whole video as the YouTuber states what I have been saying in this post.

How do you upload your voice to ChatGPT?
