How to get used to Mouse/Keyboard
You might want to reassess your setup. After months of using the same mouse and keyboard, it’s possible your posture isn’t optimal. Consider aligning your elbow with your mouse and resting your arm on your desk for comfort. If this doesn’t help, your aim suffers, especially in games like BF3, COD, or CS:GO. Think about adjusting your height and positioning to reduce strain. Your body should feel balanced, not uncomfortable. It might be worth exploring alternatives if the issue persists.
Ensure your mouse or keyboard is positioned comfortably. Your arm should be supported on your desk.
The only way to become comfortable with something is through real experience. There’s nothing else you can do except play with them.
My wrist gets tangled on the mousepad. While playing in TF2, I actually grab the mouse a bit higher than the pad. For my keyboard, my wrist stays on the desk and I keep the usual WASD position.
After five months on the M/KB and a year diving into PC gaming, you'd probably feel pretty at ease by now, right?
My arms are flat and my wrists rest on the desk. The rest of me floats in the air. There are many ways to hold a mouse, so try different ones until you find what feels right. Just remember to disable mouse acceleration in your settings, as well as your operating system, Windows, and the game you're using.
It varies based on your needs. My arms are on the desk. I really like my Razer Deathadder since it feels comfortable in my hand (though I might need to return it if it's having problems). For everyday tasks, the keyboard is at eye level and the mouse is nearer. In gaming, the keyboard tilts slightly to the right around a 10-degree angle and farther away, while the mouse is positioned further back.
I’d begin with some campaign-style games. Trying to play as an infiltrator or sniper in titles like Mass Effect helps build confidence. CS GO seems to attract the most talented players of any first-person shooter, so don’t worry. Just take your time. A solid player in Battlefield 4 can easily outplay someone using CS. The main challenge with keyboard and mouse is avoiding sudden, jerky motions—aim for smooth control. On consoles, people tend to press buttons aggressively, which isn’t ideal. Instead, focus on fluid movement. Keep the mouse light and relaxed. I usually use my mouse arm extended in front of me. If I sit upright with my elbow tucked, it can cause discomfort and poor accuracy. Mouse comfort matters a lot. My go-to is the G500, though others prefer Razer’s. Everyone has different hand sizes, and button layouts can feel awkward on various mice. The G500 and similar models often come with adjustable weights, letting you add small metal weights for better stability during aiming.
Do you have a mousepad? I purchased an inexpensive one and it has worked well for me. I increased the size of my desk to provide more room in front of the screen, which was a big improvement since before I had so little space. If my room were bigger, I’d consider a larger desk. I’m looking to adjust the height of my chair relative to the desk—it’s currently too low. There are many ideas about desk ergonomics, but the newest one I’ve seen is the standing desk option.
