Good lord, I had one of these. By SoundBlaster, IIRC (May still have it in a box somewhere).

For the confused younger folk: They were a neat idea on paper, but awful in practice. Being all rigid plastic without padding on the base, they excelled at transmitting every bump/vibration of the desk, keyboard taps and (roller ball) mouse movement. 😬

Before headsets with mics or decent noise cancellation were a thing, and before online gaming was much of a thing, so most gamers had powered speakers on their desks. Which the mic was also great at picking up...

Hey hey hey. Not just the youths don’t know. People who didn’t talk to people also don’t know.

I put mine on top of my monitor and used tape to keep it there. All problems solved.

The only downside was if u got real into a match I might poke myself in the eye….

I had one back in the 90s and used it to record a fart and play it back, to the amusement of my friends.

I loved Sound Recorder. I'd play things backwards, then try to duplicate the pronunciation and see how it sounded.

I still remember that "Wheat yets third beat pa." is roughly "Happy birthday to you."
