However, there are other microphones out there, like the Blue Yeti for example, that are still fantastic microphones in general, but that I wouldn’t recommend for gaming. While you could certainly use any USB microphone for Gaming or streaming, if it comes with the features I just mentioned, then you and your viewers will certainly have a better time. What doesn’t make a good USB Gaming Microphone? Most microphones that are marketed to gamers, don’t usually come with all of these features, especially the built-in limiter.
Mute Button:Having a mute button allows you to quickly mute the audio without having to lower the gain and manually increasing it back up again. 
Gain/headphone/direct Mix controls: Being able to control the gain, the headphone volume and the mix between the microphone’s direct sound and the PC’s playback directly from the mic is essential. 
The Mic should have a built-in limiter to handle this better.
Volume Spikes/Peaks Handling: When a signal gets too loud it “peaks” and ends up sounding distorted, and since gamers love to scream, this happens a lot. Background Noise Rejection: It should be picking up as little noise as possible like Keyboard noise, Computer fan noise, A/C noise, etc. I’ve tested many different USB mics to see how well they stacked up against each other, and I came to a couple conclusions as far as to what makes a USB mic good for gaming With so many different USB microphones out there that are being marketed to gamers as being the best ones for their setup, it’s hard to really know which ones are actually good and which ones aren’t. In this post I will give you a complete overview of the ElGato Wave 3 USB mic, I will go through all the Pros and Cons, show you the features that make it such a great microphone for gaming and streaming, and I will also record guitars with it, so you can see how it performs in that department.īut first you should know a couple things… What makes a good USB Gaming Microphone? Right off the bat I have to say that this is the best gaming microphone I have ever tried, and if you’re someone who needs a USB microphone for gaming or streaming, then it might be the best choice for you.
