  1. I have my desk after my grandfather, it weights around 200 -300kg and is 15cm thick. No matter how i set up my chair i will never have good position so usually the friction between my arm and mouse pad is high and it lowers my ability to aim properly…

  4. What kind of chair do you use? I have a problem with my current chair—the arms are not adjustable, and they don't allow me to scooch up close enough to my desk where my torso is touching the desk like yours. They also block my arms from moving as freely on the desk while playing. Do you think it would be best to get a chair with no arms at all? Perhaps you could even make a whole video on this issue.

  5. I have been gaming for many years, I can never find a comfy position. I mean it might be that my chair is at max height. I’ve just messed with the table height. My shoulders and arms are screwed.

  6. I built my own height adjustable desk with the mechanical part from IKEA and a melamine top from Bunnings. It has lasted me a long time. Just make sure you get one that is thick enough for the screws to fit in. You get to decide how deep or long it is, within reason. I made sure my desk was really deep so that my monitor was a bit further away from my eyes to prevent near-induced transient myopia.

  7. Will you ever do a video about elbow flare? I like a more flared elbow since it feels more comfortable and the forearm feels more flat. The elbow ROM also feels better for me. It's the one thing this video doesn't really cover so I would love to see your explanation ect, it might also be helpful to some people.

  8. just got an adjustable desk and the minimum height feels to high, if I move my chair up any further my legs touch the bottom of the desk it seems like no matter what I do there's to much pressure on my forearm causing pain

  9. I heard you should raise chair then lower it till your feet are flat then raise the desk accordingly. Would that be an appropriate guide to follow as well as making the forearm level with the ground

  10. For me, ideally nothing should be touching the desk except the mouse and that means my elbow needs to be at least slightly above desk height. I get locked into wrist-motions/flicking more with a parallel setup because of the added friction from my forearm touching the desk. Especially if my posture gets "lazy" and I sag, my forearm ends up just straight up resting on the desk with my wrist left to do everything. That has cost me rounds/games and is probably terrible for wrist health.

  11. I have been confused on this for a while, what’s the best chair position. Should your body be touching the edge of the desk? Or can you be further away? Please leave your opinions and thoughts, thank you!

  12. I'm struggiling with this matter as well. I have a normal desk but I can adjust my height with a gaming chair. If I go high I can feel my hand light and easy to move. If I go low my hand gets heavier and movement become slow on the same mouse sens. If I were to measure it by which part of my body should the table hit (my belly button) would be that the right height?

  13. Something i have noticed recently is that the standard desk height of aprox 70cm – 75cm is too high for almost everybody. Now this is an easier problem to fix if you are shorter as you can raise the chair and get a foot rest but interestlingly and perheps counter intuatively its almost impossible to fix if you are tall. Im 6ft3 or 193cm. Now as most peiple will know your arm span from the tip of your middle finger to the tip of the opposite middle finger is usually exactly your height. Thus if you are taller, you will have longer arms and legs. This means that even with chair height maxed out i am not in the neutral position at a 70cm desk due to the length of my arm from shoulder to elbow. Even though my feet are still on the floor. Now when i use a desk that is 60cm to 66cm in height i can adjust the chair so tgat i am able to achieve a neautral position. So while it may seem counter intuitive if you are taller the problem may be that your desk is actually too high. The best bet by far is to get a 3 stage standing desk frame. These usually have a minimum height of 60cm and then adjust the desk and chair from there. Beware as notall standing desks are created equally and most two stage desks still have a minimum height of 71cm. So do your due diligence before you buy one…

  14. I threw some blanked on top of my chair for me to sit and be higher up and it feels so much better to aim with my arm closer to a 90 degree angle, before it was like 150 degrees, it was terrible, the problem is that my table is not adjustable, and at this height of chair I cant even put my feet on the ground… guess I need to buy a new desk and chair : (my chair is already braking and I would buy a new one, so getting a new spring for my existing one isn't really worth it.)

  15. If anyone has a good chair and good desk combination in the comments please drop the names. Looking for where it allows them to have their feet still on the ground, but their desk is just the right height so the can use their arm perfect for aim. Rn my desk from a garage sale in 2016 is too high and my arm is forced to hang off my desk and I have it at an angle while using my wrist….. When I get in my zone and move my chair to a decent spot my aim can be nutty in CSGO and R6 and Warzone, but its not consistent.
