For a moment I thought I was listening to Armin van Buuren ;-)

Nice mic, but the $100-160 condenser USB market is pretty crowded, with mics which are in some cases much better:
- Blue Yeti
- Rode NT-USB & Mini
- Blue Snowball
- Audio-Technica AT2020USB+
- Marantz MPM-2000U
- Samson Meteor USB

Plus a large variety of cheaper chinese brands like Tonor for example which make really good USB mics for half the price.

Not sure why would streamers choose this Elgato/Corsair instead of the much better known and professional oriented brands ?
At $100 or less, sure... but 160 ?? No freakin' way !

Those keycaps should be standard

The Microphone sounds quite good, would be nice to hear a comparison between it and some of those posted above and even some of the cheaper brands like Superlux, Tbone etc.

They still build amps and other hi-fi equipment, besides studio equipment which is under their Pro label.
