Bending the gooseneck isn't relevant to the rotation since the neck is used to adjust the distance from your mouth. Rotating the mic is for when it's not in use.

I have to assume that the Modmic 4.0 you used is the unidirectional version. Should have mentioned in the video that the Minimic is omni, and generally omnidirectional microphone capsules sound better than unidirectional. Also would have been nice to know other audio components, and windows sound settings. I find that for most VOIP programs I'm stuck having my modmic 4.0 on 100% with 10dB boost. This means that even though it probably has the potential to be rather quiet with background noise, you'll now easily hear mouse clicks and typing on my Cherry MX blue keyboard.

And my regrets got bigger as i thought "oh shit how much quality would a 25dollar mic give anyways". after watching this video, im so fucking glad i jumped into the drop!

The minimic is a really great product for its price. Both are good, balanced competitors. Either one is a good choice and I'm happy that there are more alternatives.
