Me & my "wierd" mouse placement

[Kristofer Vesi]

So i grew up with laptops, laptops, laptops: the place, where i think it came from. I love desktops.

Now, i would ask, if it is wierd, that I use my mouse below or more closer to me, at middle from keyboard? Normal people use it to the right of keyboard... I am fine, with right, but with my personal pc my mouse is below the keyboard. (oh, when i was really small, i used the the thing in the middle of keyboards, lenovo has them and now dell i think has them, in the middle of ghb and i prefer the knob to the touchpad)

I`m really ergonomics lover, so is that comfortable and ergonomic?

Thanks.

It's your choice it sounds a little weird but if you're comfortable with it go with it

it's all about what you like and what you feel is best

Do whatever floats your boat.

If you think it is comfortable, then it is comfortable.

Ergonomic.. I don't know, but I don't see why it isn't.

if you're comfortable and you dont suffer with any pain in your wrist with the placement then thats all that matters

 

my wrist hurts after an hour with the mouse being at my right side of my keyboard, however, reducing my DPI to 700 has reduced the pain. i had 1900 DPI before and I was only using my wrist to move the mouse and I read that its bad to have your wrist move the mouse only. it should be your whole arm moving if im right.

It's funny, but it makes sense if you started with laptops

Comfortable? Only you can tell.

Ergonomic? Mmm... I suspect not because of the shoulder+wrist movements, but it could be that holding the mouse in a particular position won't cause any strain (somehow not 90º with respect to the screen, so to speak).

To be fair, using it in the side isn't necessarily better, particularly if you can't keep it close to you (I mean, if you end up feeling like you're curving your shoulders forward, kinf of "reaching out" for mouse and keyboard).

I'd say try what feels most comfortable for you, but pay attention to any pain or discomfort you may face after some time, even if it doesn't seem related to it (as bad arm positions can result in pain elsewhere, like waist, neck, etc).

i only move my wrist somehow, not whole hand..

[Kristofer Vesi]

Oh, i frogot, thinking of buying a vertical mouse, if it is in my position, would it work...

you can buy trackpads for desktop. apple has a good one but the stupidly expensive price prevents me from getting it

[Kristofer Vesi]

I don't like trackpads: my top: 1. If on desktop, that ghb thing, just not on keyboard 2. mouse 3. trackpad: you need to move your whole hand
