Since my #1 video of my Nim for Beginners video series i have been trying to 
resolve my audio issues, at first the volume and quality. Now all of that has 
been fixed and i have also lowered the volume of my obnoxiously loud mechanical 
keyboard, but still it remains at large (Don't ask me to fix the mouse clicking 
noise, because that's just insane). Some people have actually said they like 
keyboard typing noise, i am not sure if that's a tiny minority or not.

In order to fix this, in the past i have been suggested to record the ENTIRE 
video(code etc) beforehand and then talk over it. I tried that once and i just 
get lost on what i want to say at all, i spent almost an hour with almost 
nothing to show, so i switched back to what worked so far. Which is compiling 
the data with pointers and code, which most of the time then gets improvised 
upon.(BTW all of this including the mouse clicking can easily be fixed by a 
lavalier/clip/lapel mic or my a microphone arm. Sadly i currently have 0$ to 
spend on that. I have also been suggested a non-mechanical keyboard(which i 
have 1, i had 2 until recently), but it's a really cheap keyboard and when i 
tested the audio it barely made a difference and it made my typing just weird, 
you gotta get used to different keyboards.

So i came up with an idea to either lower the keyboard noise or completely 
remove it(depends on your feedback) by splitting every recording section i have 
pre-planned or i make up on the go(improvise) when recording into 2. The typing 
part and then the explaining part after it. Either of these options would make 
my life easier as well as the AUDIO quality better, because i would no longer 
need to both type and explain the code at the same time, or stop trying to 
quickly type the code so i can explain it while trying to remember what i am 
going to say/explain(BTW again, if i had a clip mic or a microphone arm, it 
would actually hurt my editing part of my videos, because due to the very loud 
mouse clicks and keyboard i know exactly in the audio wave forms when i am 
doing nothing, but that's a minor problem).

So now i would like your opinion on which option to go with for my future 
videos(probably not today's one):

OPTION 1: Pre record typing section and LOWER the volume of it and speed it up 
then after it's done, explain that code.

OPTION 2: Pre record typing section and MUTE the volume of it and speed it up 
then after it's done, explain that code.

OPTION 3: Completely skip the typing section and instead just cut to me 
talking/explaining the code after a small delay so it's not weird, (maybe with 
a nice transition... idk about this one) and then explain the code.

I am leaning towards Option 2, but Option 1 is also very much there. Option 
3... sounds disorienting. Please help me with picking the right option of the 
ones i have listed, or with one of your own ideas.
