#12I use Nvidia Broadcast (formerly RTX Voice) for this. Only available for recent GPUs though.

#13It isn't quite the same, but RNNoise is a neural-network based noise reduction aimed at dampening anything that isn't human voice. It works fantastic to me and almost always completely mutes my keyboard. (Sometimes it comes though a bit if I am talking at the same time.) This is easy integrated into Pulseaudio using PulseEffects ( https://github.com/wwmm/pulseeffects ). (The PulseEffects support is new, I used to use…
