Basically I'm looking for a new microphone and am pretty new to this (I have been using a $10 Logitech microphone for years) and am finding there is a lot more to this than I expected

For context I don't have a ton of backround noise but my keyboard can be kind of loud and I am definitly on the quieter side.

Originally I was just looking at a blue yeti X ( https://www.bestbuy.com/site/blue-microphones-blue-yeti-x-professional-condenser-usb-microphone/6367477.p?skuId=6367477 )

Now I'm seeing that this might be a better deal since a dynamic mic might be better for me: https://www.amazon.com/Samson-Handheld-Microphone-Recording-Podcasting/dp/B001R747SG/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3PXPZ2QKDGCD9&dchild=1&keywords=samson%2Bq2u%2Bmicrophone&qid=1631300703&sr=8-5&th=1

I'm not sure if i'm losing out on anything by going this route? Also what do I need to get with it. It sounds like I probably want a boom arm regardless. I have also heard something about a shockmount, pop filter, and windscreen but i'm not really sure what any of those are and if I need them. I'm basically looking for value. Like I don't want the cheapest stuff but I want something that will last me a while without being more than I need. (For example I have a 1080 over a 1080 TI for graphics card cause I found it a better price/value ratio)
