    I love the capacitive mute touch button and simplicity of the mic. What I don’t like is the lights always keep turned on even when I turn off my computer! Don’t know how to fix this.

    So I needed a new microphone, as my blue yeti was acting up a bit (I will not get rid of it, it still sorta works). This microphone is phenominal!
