What position do you use your Keyboard?

15 degrees off parallel.

Fascinating thread btw.

My keyboard has two main positions as depicted in the below diagram.

As I am a freak (read: left handed), I use the mouse with my left hand. When gaming I still use WASD though (cba setting up and learning new buttons for each game) so keyboard has to shift and rotate.

It can be a bit awkward if someone messages me in-game.

P.S: I should note that the 15" is currently not connected to anything and is used as a post-it note repository.
These post-it notes contain invaluable information such as how much XP each wave on DoWII The Last Stand mode gives you, which Runewords for DiabloII I am after and also the ship tier list for X3TC.

Left handed freak of nature!

I use mine like this

It has to be aligned with my desk or else it gets the hose again.

Pushed right back when online because the mouse gets used the majority of the time, it gets brought forward for gaming and longer keyboard usage.

I think i need to get some mouse mats just to rest my elbows on. Always end up with sore elbows from having them on the desk

I have my keyboard back from my desk so I can rest my arms on the desk. I also have the little keyboard legs flat, can't stand typing on an angle.

At home I have my mouse on the right, at work on the left.

"Where do you position your Keyboard?"

Wherever seems the most comfortable depends on the size and shape of the desk imho!

Seriously guys, aren't you suffering from pretty bad hunch-back if you have your elbows on the desk???

On the little slidy draw that's for the keyboard.

Couldn't have it on the desk, it'd be too high/uncomfortable.

This was posted on another forum I use. It's so you can sit in a lazy boy or recliner chair and compute.

I suppose with a low power PC and a battery pack you could wheel it round the house like an intravenous as well.

Pretty much this

So that's why they make wireless keyboards. I always thought it was just technology for the sake of technology

Philtor · 12 Jul 2011 at 13:02

Keep mine at the edge of my desk but put it on my knee if im doing a lot of typing as it's wireless.

arc@css · 12 Jul 2011 at 13:09

Like right now when typing, it sits directly in front of me, roughly central on the desk. When gaming I prefer if it rests near to the far left side of the desk (especially since I use the arrow keys).

You leave it lying unused on a desk while you go and play golf?

I take offence! Dost thou make me a Minstrel??

I like Bill Bryson's writing style, so have a couple of his books among others
