I don’t understand how to use a computer, can you get some help?
Hello, welcome to the world of PC gaming! I see you're curious about your setup. After playing Bioshock Infinite for a while, it's common to feel discomfort in your hand—especially your pinky. It might help to adjust your position for better comfort and accuracy. Let me know if you'd like tips on ergonomics or button placement!
theres really no right or wrong, if it works for you then great. One thing you'll learn once you get really into gaming is keyboards, mice, mousepads, headsets. Its all about what works for you, whether it looks right or wrong doesnt matter as long as its comfortable and you can hit the keys you need, thats all that matters. If I had one recommendation it would be to get a gaming mouse according to your type of grip, because if your using a trackpad or a standard mouse they can get uncomfortable at times. But in terms of keys you need to press. I normally have my hand like your third picture.
You can't force your wrist while your hand moves further from the mouse grip. Your toes shouldn't be part of the photo, keep your back straight instead of slouching. For extended gaming periods, sit as if you're studying—use a good chair, adjust the table height, and make sure your whole body feels comfortable. I understand you mention only finger pain, but remember, your entire body is linked, so relaxation is key.
You'll find it easier over time, and everyone here likely has their own take. The key change that could help most is swapping the 'running' button for the '<' key. I'm not sure which keyboard layout you're using—some Spanish versions might look similar to Australia's. On American keyboards, the shift key is larger and the '<' is usually on the right side. When you press shift, it lands on the left edge of your keyboard, which might feel more natural. Feel free to adjust your key placements for comfort. You might need to retrain yourself a bit, but it will likely make a big difference.
Later edit: I also suggest shifting the position of your lift button further left, so it stays aligned with the text.
Your hand seems quite rigid; try to ease it in place. Your fingers can move smoothly across the keys without stiffness. If you're facing discomfort with the laptop keyboard, consider switching to a genuine USB keyboard—even a rubber dome works well. Ultimately, laptops often prioritize portability over ease of use.
Acabo de colocar mi mano como suele hacer mientras juego. En la sesión de juegos suelo hacerlo en el salón, no en el dormitorio (¡eh, ese con dos flechas!). Y sí, el ajuste del teclado latino es correcto.
Rebind keyboard shortcuts for your gaming mouse. Your G500 features a tilted middle mouse wheel (left to right), three side buttons, and even DPI controls can be mapped to keys. Q, E, R, F, Z, X, C are typically just button mappings for MMOs, after which you can add shift or control modifiers for scrolling up, down, tilting, and button presses. Default settings on the mouse keyboard often aren’t ideal. A free tool at http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMous...ontrol.htm lets you customize keys for any game and assign them to a mouse button in its profile. Besides that, gaming mice support this functionality. Simply choose a gaming mouse, reconfigure keys, and assign hotkeys for scrolling up/down in games where it’s useful—like in MMOs. In such games, you can avoid zooming in or out and instead map important actions to tilted middle mouse buttons, placing them on harder-to-reach keys while using shift or control modifiers. You can achieve around 15 keybindings from the middle mouse button as it tilts.
It feels much better using a separate keyboard instead of the one on your laptop.
Your hand size makes it difficult to use a laptop keyboard for gaming. Laptops are usually designed for typing and offer good comfort. However, most FPS games rely on WASD keys that are tightly pressed together. I attempted to play FPS with a laptop keyboard several times before switching to a separate keyboard—much more comfortable. Keep your hand still, using only your fingers. If the keys feel too close, try rebinding them for better spacing. Adjust your mouse grip so it feels natural and comfortable. Also consider a wrist rest; laptops provide some support, but if you experience discomfort, an external silicone wrist rest might help.
