How to put your hand on the desk

[dome3731]

Hi, I'm and fps gamer and I put my hand from the elbow to the wrist on the table and most people just put their wrist on the table, and is that better for gaming and I've been having problem with the way I play because it's summer and my hand sticks to the desk and it's a little hard for me to play by only putting my wrist on the table, can you guys tell me how you play and maybe suggest something and would a razer goliathus extended make my summer problem any better?

It varies from person to person. A bit like how you hold your mouse, you just have to find what's right for you. 

 

In terms of what's better, you ideally shouldn't rest work wrist/forearm on the edge of a desk at all as it can cause a number of RIS. Or make something like Carpel Tunnel Syndrome worse if you already have it (like me)

I play like this:

 

It's pretty comfortable

I definitely prefer to have my entire underarm on the desk (from elbow to wrist).

Welcome new guy.

 

I just put my wrist on the table as i find it gives me more flexibility where i can sit back and game at the same time. Have you tried a small wash rag under your arm to help with the sweat.

least both your arm don't go numb... Ever tried gaming like that.

 

Its worse when your drunk with numb arms and trying to open a door. note "trying"

i prefer to lie on the desk. with my whole body

you guys don't think there's anything bad with the way I play, I like to play like this and at competitions do they have large desks? And would a goliathus extended help me?

You aim how you aim, i use just my wrist barely and my mouse hand has a fucking callus or lump or something built up over time because of it.

I rest both of my wrists on my desk and I dont have enough room to put my whole arm on there.

I use my arm on the desk. actually the only part that touches the desk is right above my elbow, and my arm keeps raised most of the time, while my hand forms the "fingertip grip" style on the mouse.

oh i have my arm half on half off

I would put my wrist on the edge of the desk, and resting my forearm on the armrests on the chair - This allows for much more movement of the forearm whereas putting the entire forearm on the desk would constrict your movement.

 

Edit: It's also beneficial as you wouldn't need as much space (depth-wise) on your desk

I put my wrist on the edge, and rest on the arrest. Feels more free. Though my good chair broke, and i got a crappy chair atm not really good for gaming, if I did the armrest would be to low/small and would make my wrist hurt.
