"Show me what you're working with" or "post your regular keyboard/mouse combo" seems to be all-encompassing :)

The new thread was merged with this one, yes.

Yeah I noticed that :) so I was just saying, the mods made this a keyboard thread instead of keyboard and mouse thread. Lol

No...  the new posts got merged with this one as they fall under the category of this thread's topic.  It still works for "show me whacha workin' with".

Mouse therapy?

Do we need another therapy thread? :))
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I changed stuff up a couple days ago, instead of tenting i am using the hands far apart and flat with the mouse in the middle and i have to say I LOVE IT



it seems to be fine ergonomically like this far apart. im finding myself typing faster without the tent.

Maybe in that case it's turned just for the picture but... Back when I was playing Counter-Strike I'd turn my keyboard about 45 degrees (that is: even more than in that picture) and I was playing, although I'm a touch-typist, with the left hand on the arrow keys (the real arrow keys, not WASD nor ESDF nor IJKL) and had all my keys setup accordingly. It's not the most common setup I've definitely seen pictures of pro-gamers from some of the very best teams using such a setup: mouse nearly in the middle, keyboard angled about 45 degrees.

I was doing it because it felt like my left wrist was in a more natural position: basically the same reason why all the ergo users have both halves of their keyboard turned  8)

Nice, I thought you have said it before, but why is the keyboard turned a little?

Maybe in that case it's turned just for the picture but... Back when I was playing Counter-Strike I'd turn my keyboard about 45 degrees (that is: even more than in that picture) and I was playing, although I'm a touch-typist, with the left hand on the arrow keys (the real arrow keys, not WASD nor ESDF nor IJKL) and had all my keys setup accordingly. It's not the most common setup I've definitely seen pictures of pro-gamers from some of the very best teams using such a setup: mouse nearly in the middle, keyboard angled about 45 degrees.

I was doing it because it felt like my left wrist was in a more natural position: basically the same reason why all the ergo users have both halves of their keyboard turned  8)

I also played a lot of Counter-Strike 1.6 when I was younger, and that's why I keep my keyboard like that to this day. I actually have it at a steeper angle most of the time. Since I have wide shoulders I find it way more comfortable this way. I usually sit a bit sideways and lean backwards in my chair as well.

Here's some quick potato pics of the angle I'm currently using my keyboard at:

I'm comfortable with it and I can get 120+ WPM with it, so I'm not looking to change the way I position my keyboard anytime soon. :)
