What sets the Wave: 3 apart from similar devices, though, is its connectivity with the ubiquitous Elgato Stream Deck. It's a USB mic with a cardioid pattern, specifically tailored to the gaming space.
On its surface, the Elgato Wave: 3 seems very similar to other microphones on this list. No standout features -Can pick up background noise It also has a rather aggressive black-and-red lighting pattern - whether you dig the “gamer” aesthetic or think it looks a little dated will largely depend on your own preferences. This means you won’t have to wrangle with software if you want to change the audio pattern, adjust the gains or even mute the microphone. The QuadCast is one of the best microphones for gaming because most of its features are analog. Most users will probably want to start off on its cardioid setting, although it also has bidirectional, omnidirectional and stereo audio patterns, so you can bring other people into your impromptu recording studio, if you want. The QuadCast is a condenser mic with a built-in stand and shock mount, meaning that once you connect it to your computer via USB, you’re pretty much ready to start recording right away. The HyperX QuadCast is a stylish and robust microphone, perfect for gamers who don’t like headset mics, or who want to get into the streaming space. Garish lighting -Imperfect pop filtering
