Carpal Tunnel

I think its all about the technique

Surgery. Carpal Tunnel can lead to permanite nerve damage.

It can be hereditary on top of the usual causes. Pretty sure thats what happened in my case anyway.

No pressure on your wrist, in other words don't let your wrist touch your mouse pad/desk. Also use your arm for mouse movement more, only use your wrist for small, fine movements. Get a decently big mousepad and decrease sensitivity to facilitate larger mouse movements with your whole arm. Keep your wrist entirely relaxed as much as possible and use your arm.

I often crack my wrists, it relieves the pressure.

just stretch your wrists a lot to avoid getting it

I think it depends on the position of your hand

>>>>crack my wrists
user

don't put your mouse and keyboard at the edge of your desk
rest your whole forearm on the desk and use more elbow

Your mom tricked you user, it's harmless: curiosity.com/topics/a-doctor-cracked-his-knuckles-for-50-years-to-see-if-it-was-harmful-curiosity/

Just do stretches and drink alcohol to dull the pain

I can't just drink every single day

Some wrist exercises will help a lot. Do some stretching while putting pressure on your palms too.

By playing with a controller like a normal human. M+KB is not meant for gaming

This will break your wrist, don't do it.

I use my wrist exclusively for mouse movements. Consequently my sensitivity is realively high to compensate for my limited movement. The only time I got remotely close to carpal tunnel was when I binged on osu. Since then I do stretches occasionally.

It is often caused by a multitude of factors. For me, getting a different mouse solved my issues completely.

DON'T DO THIS IT CREATES KETCHUP GAS

I just don’t trust a website called curiosity.com for medical facts

I do this too, but it seems to crack increasingly louder over the years and I'm getting worried.

wtf why is there mustard gas coming out of my hand

this is worrying me as well

>Idk how people even develop carpel tunnel
consolefags

be an american with a shit diet

it's a PC Mongrel Race thing. consoles are much healthier.

Weaklings.

I changed my mouse at work to an ergonomic one and now gaming doesn't bother me anymore

im more worried about tennist elbow, my doctor said it will improve if i stop edging 3 hours daily, but im too hooked up to stop.

This, and my eye sight is just fine after being in front of a computer since the mid 2000's

by playing games in moderation...

stop using only your wrist to move your mouse and use 800 or less dpi.

Ordered both of these, gonna see which one feels better to use. The chinkshit on the top looks like it would feel really good with shooters.

Switch to controller

>carpal tunnel
what kind of weakling genetic failure develops this "problem"
been playing vidya for over 2 decades and the most I ever had was the mark

Only poorfags with wrong sized mice for their fat hands and no gel pad support get idiot tunnels.

I notice it's a problem with idle phone browsing. I just cut back and scheduled in a way that I can only waste time (do the damage) on weekends.

it won't

Why have you used it?

it's designed for old people to browse their e-mail

Gel support is a meme. I've had a gel mousepad, gel shoe inserts, gel butt cushions, gel everything and the shit never works. It's not comfortable, it's more expensive than non-gel padding, and it doesn't last. Fuck gel.

I'M BLOWING INTO THE CUP BUT I DON'T SEE ANY CRYSTALS

Anime boob mouse pads are actively bad for you, it constricts shit

leave your keyboard feet folded in

I'm a pc user and don't have it.

I do sit on my bed with my keyboard on my lap and my mouse on the bed. I guess carpal tunnel only occurs to gayming fags that force themselves into a gayming chair and an uncomfortable desk.

wrist braces and constant suicidal thoughts

is this like that old press f10 for infinite ammo in old cs?

That's probably the sole reason it was designed but I want to believe it's got more going for it.

Fuck me I shouldve read the replied before trying

then get a logitech master if you still want to aim at something while still having the benefit of pain relief

Not him but I have one of these and couldnt imagine using it for a fps. Its comfy but clicking the buttons is more like squeezing a rock then triggers

I am living proof you are wrong

It's kind of boring to look at tho, what about the MX Ergo?

fuck up

I used to say the same thing but I got it this year at the age of 41. Ive been gaming for over 35 years now, averaging 7 hours.
So wait a few years, youll get it.

>41
thats just old age grandpa

The only thing worse than side buttons on a mouse is that cancerous growth scrolling ball they forced into the side. Stick with standard mice that fit your hand and you're golden. The more a mice forces you to contort your grip, the worse it is.

I just extended my desk

Pain went away almost overnight

Been using it like this for 2+ years now with 0 issues

I make sure to stretch often.

Thats a fucking trackball? Why the hell you should need a trackball in your mouse?

maintain good posture at all times
the way you hold your upper torso affects the angle your wrists will take
consider a prop under your carpaled hand, a rolled up wash cloth can work well

I have this and it is great yet I still get tendinitis in my thumb several times a year and it is very annoying to deal with

Carpal tunnel is something old ladies get from gardening work if they are pre-disposed to developing it. You don't get that from playing video games because your wrists are not kept at an angle all the time. I don't know why this is such a meme in the Anglosphere.

I used one of these for some time. These days I just do pull ups.
