Best PC Microphone

Your opinion on the best 'stand-alone' PC microphone for speech dictation, skyping/MSTeaming etc?  My inbuilt Mic is shoddy.  Headsets are not an option (I have one).

My speech is a little contrived but perfectly understandable to people, Echo, Google.   I had an argument with my PC over the Weekend so I reckon it's time to bypass the inbuilt Mic.

Recommendations appreciated.
Cheers in advance.

    using dedicated microphones on my PC is not something I've done very often besides just using a pair of decent earphones or headphones. I'd be interested to see if others have recommendations
