Mic Picks Up Keyboard Sounds

I've Got It
I need to find a way to prevent my mic from picking up keyboard sounds...I have a Samson Meteorite Microphone on top of some cube toys (Minecraft) and behind it is a mechanical keyboard (Razer Blackwidow)
and it picks up the keyboard sounds and I don't think it's enjoyable to hear keyboard sounds when you're trying to listen to commentary...I need help in eliminating this problem.
 
Sounds like you need something in front of the mic to diffuse the sound, like a pop filter, or something under the keys of the keyboard to muffle the sound.
 
If you're using audacity, before you start commentating record a 5-10 second clip of your keyboard noises, fire in some mouse clicks too if you want (or basically any sound you want to get rid of..) then do your commentary as normal & at the end (once you've finished the recording) when you go to edit the commentary, highlight the first 5-10 seconds of the wave (so the part where you recorded just sounds you want to get rid of) once you have that done click the effects tab, go to noise removal, click "Get noise profile" then highlight to whole wave and go back to effects, noise removal & click "Ok". Sometimes it will get rid of the sounds in their entirety and sometimes it may just dim them down so they're not as loud/bad... If you guys want an cool audio editing vid tutorial that I abide by most of the time (for gaming) then let me know & I'll link it for you :)

I don't think I can put a pop filter on my mic (and it's $20)...what would be the best way w/o buying anything?[DOUBLEPOST=1416920907,1416920868][/DOUBLEPOST]

I don't use that but if there's no other non-costy solution I might use it :)
