Peripherals Microphone Recommendations

I'm looking to upgrade my microphone sometime in the next couple of months, aiming to move from using the microphone attached to my gaming headset (HyperX Cloud) to something a bit more specialised so that I can output clearer sound.

My main use for the microphone setup is for when I play things like D&D over voice comms... I'm after something as clear & crisp as possible so when I put on voices they don't all get muffled by my cheap headset microphone.
There's also the possibility that I may be doing a bit of work providing voice instructions for stuff my work colleagues have recorded, so having a nice clear microphone would help with that as well.

I've previously tried to use a Blue Snowball microphone when I used to do a bit of streaming but didn't get on too well with it... since it needed to be fairly close to my face to sound clear enough, I ended up having to hunch over too much which meant I couldn't look at my monitor as much while using it (my screen is usually raised about 3-4ft above my desk).

Probably looking for some kind of lapel microphone that I can clip to me or something I can mount on an arm and position to be a similar height to my monitor. Leaning more towards the arm mounted option.

In terms of budget, I'm relatively flexible but wouldn't really want to go over £250 as I'm not a professional.

Anyone have experience with a good quality setup that they'd recommend?

 

AntLion ModMic is more than clear enough for most people I've gamed with.

 

I'll have a look at the ModMic but I've not had the most positive experience with them in the past, though that was a very early model that was plugged into my onboard sound.

 

You'd probably do well with a decent-ish condenser mic, something like an Audio-Technica AT2020 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Audio-Technica-AT2020-x/dp/B0006H92QK) and a decent audio interface, perhaps something like a Focusrite Saffire 2i2 or something like that.

You can then set the gain etc, and configure properly. You should be able to get a decent setup for circa £200!

Thanks, watched a few demonstrations and video reviews of the Focusrite 2i2 last night and it seems like it'd be the best interface option for me to have upgrade options.
Will have a look at the AT2020 next.
