I've been using Krisp since the start of 2020 and have been really happy with both its audio performance and that it doesn't seem to use excessive CPU/GPU, not to mention that it doesn't require nvidia hardware. Krisp is a paid, closed source product however.
This made me do a double take: "The key board on Macs has artificial clacking?" but of course this actually mutes your microphone, not your keyboard.
I was very confused as well, since that's exactly what it sounded like. That said, I wouldn't have been surprised at all. I was never more shocked that when I discovered that the trackpad on my MacBook Pro didn't actually buckle a millimeter, and was instead entirely simulated by the haptic feedback. Mind. Blown.
You already have a mute button.. do you really want to deal with unplanned un-muting as opposed to planned muting?
A global keyboard shortcut to mute your mic would probably be best, but otherwise system mute is not easily accessible in MacOS. The Command+Shift+M shortcut for mute in WebEx/Team/Zoom requires focus, which you most likely won't have if you're typing something.

I had a similar experience with my iPhone 7+. I had forgotten I'd turned it off. I picked it up, and wondered if the home button was broken, because it wasn't moving when I pressed it. Then I realized it was off, and had that OH YEAH, it's just a sensor with haptic feedback... pretty amazing!

Krisp uses ML to remove background noises like dog barking, crispy chips and such. Comes with a subscription model for unlimited use though. https://krisp.ai/
I had people complain they couldn't hear me well when I used their (deprecated) iOS app. I kept having to turn off the ML noise-cancelling.
I've had a subscription from mid-2019, though I no longer use it. I find Zoom's basic noise suppression good enough for calls.
This is genius but I usually mute myself before and after speaking. Great idea though for us mechanical switch folks.

If you are talking about the application-specific software mute, I had such a terrible time finding it amongst all my open tabs and latency every time I wanted to type or speak that I wrote the above hardware-ish button.
A solution like rtx voice seems a better way to go tbh. For those who don't know, it's an nvidia thing that uses a GPU accelerated (ofc, it's nvidia) neural network to denoise voice calls, from all kinds of noise, not just typing. It's really pretty impressive, here's a demo: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uWUHkCgslNE I wish it wasn't proprietary though (and worse, hardware specific). And windows only of course.
It's basically magic. You can have someone vacuuming the room right next to you or cook dinner and your coworkers won't notice. Typing noise is just gone. It has improved our meetings so much.
https://krisp.ai works locally and is cheaper, but it noticeably degrades quality (tested with the Chrome extension only).
