On: How Discord Handles Two and Half Million Concurrent Voice Users Using WebRTC

It's not a sane default for people gaming with mouse/mechanical keyboard. The voice activation can (in general) be set not to have squad breathing and chewing in your ear - but you'll hear every Crack of desperate mouse movement...

It might be better with people using Xbox controllers.

My modmic setup doesn't transmit me typing on my Cherry MX Brown keyboard.

And we complain a lot when someone on the server has an improper voice activation threshold, so everyone quickly fixes theirs.

Also rocking a ModMic5 and a keyboard with Brown switches. Never had an issue transmitting when I wasn't actually speaking. Both in Discord and Slack.

Not necessarily, I have had to disable my mic when playing certain games, apparently I'm violent enough with the analog sticks that hitting the end of travel will activate discord.
