Elgato - Wave:3 Wired Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone
Model: 10MAB9911SKU: 6514933Top comment"Hit one button, no sound. Hit another button? Sound. Randomly selecting a button would cause the microphone to either produce sound or not. ...Sure a great microphone has little to do with aesthetics. However, when it's on your desk and you have to look at it every day.... ...Excellent mic that isn't hideous"
