Keyboard feet, to use or not to use?

[MichalCZE97]

I don't use the feet on my keyboard. I found out that I „misstype“ much less for whatever reason. :D

I always used the feet for my keyboards before I got my Ducky mechanical keyboard. Alot of mech keyboards are so high/thick that it sits in a similar position as a thinner membrane keyboard would with its feet down. Atleast that is my take on it. :)

 

Using the feet on my ducky would bring it up too high for me.

If you type alot, why would you need to look at the keyboard? you should know where everything is....

Always feet down for me in anycase.

I never use the keyboard feet.
I don't see why it would be better to force your hands at an uncomfortable angle.
Having the keyboard feets off, your hands will be flat with your arms.

After a few days of lowering the feet, my personal conclusion is that feet or no feet, there is not much of a difference. My keyboard is curved towards me too

That makes sense, the most comfortable keyboard I've ever used is the Microsoft Natural 4000 series where it is tilted in the front instead of the back. I only wish someone would make one like that with mechanical key switches... for less than $300 I mean.

 

I use an IBM Model M now, it's pretty comfortable actually, but I miss my windows key... and no, I don't have the legs up since I don't need to look at the letters :D

I just shoved a folded magazine under the front of my keyboard and it was the best thing ever. I'm going to have to find some sort of thing I can stick under the keyboard to function as a permanent way to prop-up the front of the keyboard.

Feet up , not sure why but it feels more comfortable to me.. Or maybe I'm just used to it .

Whenever I use the keyboard feet, my wrists start hurting. So I prefer not to use them.

I find it more comfortable to use the feet

[Deus Ragno]

I've only ever used them once, then I got angry, smashed my fists down and whoops, broken feet. So I haven't bothered after that since I'm bound to get angry once in a while and the feet are always flimsy plastic shite that are prone to break.

Feet up for me.

I find having the feet up on my keyboard more stressful on my wrists.

 

As EricX2 said, the most comfortable position for me is to have the front slightly raised instead of the back but keyboards with this feature are pretty rare and often they overdo it.

 hmm yea.. tried shoving a pen under my keyboard and it works well, but its harder to reach the function keys
