Blue Yeti Picking up background noise

[fineyoshipie]

My blue yeti is picking up noise like mouse clicks and my keyboard im not sure why all the settings are at the lowest and it still picks up the noises

It's a microphone! It is SUPPOSED to pickup the sounds around it.

To make those quieter:
1 use a more directional mike, and point it AWAY from the unwanted sound
2 decrease the distance to the wanted source & increase from the unwanted sources
3 change your environment to have more absorption & diffusion, particularly in the direct path between the mike & unwanted noise sources, and make sure that the mike's mounting isn't contributing to the transmission of the unwanted sounds
4 quiet/dampen the unwanted souces noises through covers, cotton stuffing, rubber padding, etc
5 filter the sound (either via analog or digital means) to decrease the backgound noise frequencies, while enhancing the wanted foreground frequencies
6 isolate the mike in a separate space (vocal booth?) and/or overdub & edit
