Best setup for gaming involves precise mouse and keyboard placement.
Best setup for gaming involves precise mouse and keyboard placement.
I'm considering relocating your mouse and keyboard to the top level beside your monitor. This would shift them closer to the screen. Many setups already place them in the same area, so it might be a good idea.
The keyboard must feel right. I bought one for a dollar at the thrift shop. A mouse requires more attention. Choose something with additional buttons.
It seems you're suggesting a specific posture—arms bent at 90 degrees with forearms flat. Just make sure it feels right for you.
I strongly dislike those keyboard trays, but others suggest the most comfortable setup is what feels right for you. I like keeping my keyboard and mouse on a fixed desk surface—ideally above your monitor. If this sounds appealing, try it out. However, I’m not sure there’s a single "perfect" arrangement.
