I want to buy myself a microphone for Christmas.
I would use that for gaming and singing, as I really enjoy both. I also appear on a friend's stream sometimes, so I want it to be of good quality. Before that I had an old studio microphone, which was very bad because my room was too echoing and my laptop too loud. The best thing I need is a microphone that can be used to understand me normally as well as when singing, but which also suppresses the noise of my laptop. I already had the Blue Yeti in mind, the price would go up to around 200 euro.
Then quickly lose sight of the Yeti again. This is also a large-diaphragm condenser microphone. You've had enough bad experience with this type of mic. To make matters worse, one of those funny USB microphones that stress around when you want to adjust them.
For your purpose, a dynamic microphone that doesn't drag in any garbage + a decent USB interface.
Recommendation:
Interface: Steinberg UR12 or UR22
Micro: AKG P3 or P5, better than the price suggests

or a Sennheiser 835s
or a shure sm57
Pop filter
ORDINARY Xlr cable e.g. From Cordial
from one of the big music houses like Thomann, Musikstore, Musik produktiv, Kirstein, etc. If there are any questions that is better than from a faceless Amazon dealer
