It's not a filter.īUT, let's talk about filters! In my experience with MX Blue keyswitches, the sound they make tends to be very high in pitch. The caveat to this is that, first, your level of speech must be ABOVE that of your keyboard, and second, when your mic is on because you're speaking into it, it's still going to pick up the sound of the keyboard if you happen to be typing at the same time.
You can read the Wikipedia article, but it basically kills the signal until the input is above a certain threshold, with some other parameters for response time. Obviously I don't use a keyboard at all when I'm recording something important.) That said, the answer to your question is yes, you would use something called a noise gate on your input. I love my mechanical keyboards, but I use MX Browns any time there's going to be a mic in use (like for videoconferencing. Aren't Cherry MX Blues practically designed to be loud? I heard once that DasKeyboard used to offer ear plugs as an accessory (as a joke).
