I need help buying a mic (self.pcmasterrace)

I'll be brief. I've been looking for a mic for a long time now. My current one started dying and is really bad.

All I'd like is some shock absorption, for keyboard and stuff to not be earrape.

Some sort of mic arm, I wouldn't like to take space up infront of my keyboard, and to put it behind it would probably be a bad idea.

On another note is: please don't say HyperX, I don't really like that brand.

mt budget is: as cheap as possible, but still not shit quality, AKA whatever you'd buy

Shure SM-58 + Shure A55M + Rode PSA1 + Behringer UMC22 (or whatever cheap used audio interface you can get)

Nobody can hear my cherry browns on the mic.

I also have a Rode PSA1 and it's great, but it's perfectly acceptable to get one that's half or even a 3rd of the price of the PSA1 and still have it work just fine. A USB mic would probably also be better considering price. (Yes, I know it makes upgrading cheaper, but OP said they need a mic and that price was a major factor)
