Seriously folks, this is awesome. Does anyone have a recommendation of a USB microphone/headset that will work with Ubuntu so that I can start using this a bit more comfortably?

I did not know voice typing was possible before, this has made my day. All I need now is to invest in a decent microphone!

Microsoft lx 3000 is unidirectional and has noise cancelling and is cheap. Caveat : I haven't tried it with Ubuntu.

Get a Blue Yeti.

Blue Yeti is good (and not too expensive), but isn't it a bit overkill for voice typing?

If you generally feel like having a better microphone would help in other cases as well (Skype, vlog, what-have-you), then I'd agree with the above post.
