I didn't buy the El Gato boom arm to go along w the mic, but I may in the future! P's and B's do not overly pop and static into the microphone. Buttons are easy to navigate. I haven't played around with the mixer yet though. One thing that puzzles me though is how the settings for the microphone will reset every time that I turn off my computer. I may have to look into that.
Other than that minor inconvenience, there's nothing much wrong with the mic. I'm glad I chose the Wave:3 over the other mics that I was looking at! I wish they'd produce it in white, though. It'd look so clean! I'll probably buy other mics to test out the Wave:3 quality in the future, but I'm actually quite happy w this one overall!!

As is the nature of condenser microphones, they will pick up quite a lot of background noise. To counter this, I use Elgato's Wave Link software. Their default noise removal audio effect is quite bad, so I installed the package to utilize NVIDIA Broadcast, which is what I swapped to when I realized it was essentially a free version of Krisp (which I had previously paid to use). On my old setup, where I manually used NVIDIA Broadcast, I never had issues. With Wave Link, however, my microphone is in a constant gamble of whether or not it will function properly. If I had to guess, I would say that there is some sort of issue in load order, because sometimes my microphone will sound like complete dog water, and other times it will work fine. The fix? To manually remove the audio effect and re-add it. As a habit, I now go through this process of manually removing my audio effects and re-adding it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I BOOT MY PC. This becomes fairly tedious fairly quickly.
All in all, the mic itself is pretty good. The almost mandatory software, however, is frustrating at best, so I cannot give this product 5 stars.
I am happy to say I was wrong about all of that, this microphone sits a good 20 inches away from me and after adjusting the sensitivity knob it picks me up perfectly and as my friends online say "it sounds like your talking right into it, its crystal clear" It also doesn't pick up my keyboard at all and with the captive mute on top its an easy mute for when the dog barks in the background.
Now for the Wave link software, this is truly an amazing piece of programing and I think its a necessity for all streamers just starting out and rivals that of a GoXLR mixer for a fraction of the cost. The software alone I think is worth the price tag but you also get an amazing microphone with it.

I think my favourite thing about the Wave 3 is that the Wave Link software allows for streaming setups to be much more easy to use with a digital mixer.
