Lower DPI/sensitivity and use your arm instead.

grow up anime retard

Only my chair, it's a cheap Ikea chair. Also buy a comfier mouse and do this

...

i hate my keyboard, $80 for a keyboard with no option of wrist rest. worst tech I ever bought

Get a trackball

Yeah, my fucking router when it delivers content like this to me.

My pc is probably gonna give me ball cancer bacuse it overheats to like 90 degrees

How big a mousepad do I need to do that?

Not even a big one

When I lower DPI on my mouse I keep having to go off the edge of the pad ;_;

wouldn't that wear out your thumb though?
kensington balls are the best anyway

Use a smaller mouse. I have manlet hands and mine are just fine.

it's lifes way of weeding out caveman genetics in favor of information age ones.

Just lift and recenter, you'll get used to it.

Mice always gave me horrible car-pool-tunnel. Switching to trackpads has eliminated it.

I laughed.

God no. I switched to this because of OP's problem and the pain it eventually gave my thumb and surrounding area was way worse than the wrist pain. Trackballs are probably worse if you're using your computer for long periods of time. The pain definitely starts faster.

OP, just get a better mouse and learn how to use it properly. Or get one of those fancy joystick mouses/trackpads.

They can destroy sperm cells. Be careful if you plan on having a child.

Get a vertical mouse they are pretty cheap now.

Don't talk to me or to my wife's son again!

Hmm. Personally I can use trackballs way longer than normal mice.

trackpad hurting my fingertips was what finally tought me to touchtype

I used my hot laptop as a kid... not much now.

Am I impotent?

Go fuck someone a few times and find out.

God I wish I could find someone ;_;

Use those delicate feminine wrists to please cocks instead, it'll hurt less.

I wish I had feminine wrists ;_;

I got major cramps after I got past sad panda

You do. I bet you also got a feminine mouth~

But I have a beard.

You can shave it.
I bet you look like a girly sissy fag shaved.

this

I-I'm losing my hair a bit though.
I can't be girly.

Then buff up, go bald and groom your beard. The worst part is waiting for your lily-white head to get tanned out after cutting it all off.

I bet you'd feel good in a blonde curly wig, body shaved and in girl clothes.

Behold the only real answer to this problem:

It's about how tall is your table in relation to the position you are sitting in and how are your arms angled.

The table is barely below my pectorals, and I rest my whole forearm up until the elbow on my table.

Desklets need not apply.

Get a finger operated trackball.

KENSINGTON WITH SCROLL RING MASTERRACE
thumblets need not apply

This. Scroll ring all day everyday.

Do you have a tendency to twist your hand? I had wrist problems because I would naturally turn my hand vertically. I was going to get a vertical mouse, but a wrist pad fixed the problem instead.
Also, I use a higher DPI so I don't have to move my hand around as much and can comfortably leave my wrist in one place.

How can they even afford to sell those for only 20 bucks?

>not using one of these
it's like you want your wrist to hurt

By avoiding to use the mouse as often until it heals. Use more keyboard shortcuts.

I don't even move my arm/wrist. I keep my wrist straight and move the mouse around between my fingers.

Until today, I was crouched on my hardwood hard ass floor, in front of a 44 inch TV, connected to a 1ft HDMI cord(laptop had no screen)

I made it like that for like 5 months.

Quite your bitching, faggot.

what the fuck, it seems like this is not faggotry thread

my shitty chair is murdering my back. i sit like this angry stockphoto cunt (i don't know the position name) 90% of the time, at this point i don't even imagine having a chair that would allow me to sit comfortably for hours in normal position

i did a lot more self-inflicted harm after discovering pixiv downloader tbqh

That's because using your thumb contributes to the problem. If you want a trackball, use something like the Kensington expert where your nonthumbs are doing the work.

go through stages like this. I was strainging my wrist using it on the edge of my desk about 90 degrees to my right.
It hurt for several months straight, I thought for sure I got carple tunnel that time. It finally went away. I make it a point not to just bare through the pain now. if my wrist is hurting I stop and/or find a new position.

Where the FUCK did you buy this?

The keyboard?

;~; feel better, animeさん

good post

back to /reddit/

I've been using this trackball for literally ever and never have problems with it, thumb virtually never hurts.

> use Emacs 12 hours a day
> using palm to push ctrl and everything
> still beginning to feel pain in wrists
Is this the end?

remap ctrl to capslock you idiot

I did that for my laptop keyboard.

However, I mostly use a mechanical keyboard, and the capslock takes enough actuation pressure that doing this causes horrible Emacs pinky.

Palming ctrl is a thing btw.

>falling for the memechanical keyboard meme

Exercise your pinky harder until that little fucker is an emacs champ.

The mechanical keyboard has actually helped a lot.

My dad got carpal tunnel so I think I'm just fucked genetically.

lol

Then just... make new sperm cells? Dude lol

>i dont know what is evil mode

Get a fingerball.

on an anime website

Wait how the fuck did you guys do that?

Whenever I type text in the youtube search while watching a video it's white, it shows up if I select. Anyone else have this issue or is it on my end?

This post gave me cramps

This is EXACTLY what I got. Anker Ergo Mouse. It was like $12.

Me too, but for some reason it only happens when i'm using macOS. There's something off with macOS mouse implementation.

A quick google search shows you're not the only one to have had this problem before. It's happening on all your different browsers?

>fagOS

Found your problem.

this is what you need op

Use tiling WM, and use vimfx firefox addon.
It'll liberate you from mouse.

My chair sucks dick too, which upsets me cause I went to a furniture store and bought one of their more expensive computer desk chairs, yet it has no ability to lean forward and back, only levels up and down, and after about 4 hours of sitting in it, my ass is sore as shit.

Post picture. I habe no idea what you mean. What angle should i aim for?

>my ass is sore
How old is your chair? Time for a new one? Or at least a chair cushion?

I know you may laugh at me for being a consumerist whore but I have 4 different mice and if I get tired of one (which happens sometimes because I use them 6-12 hours a day) and my wrist starts to hurt, I use another one, and it forces you to grip it differently and the pain goes away.

Just try different mice. The most "ergonomic" ones aren't always the best ones (for me at least). Just try bigger/smaller ones to see which fit your grip the best

>My dad got carpal tunnel so I think I'm just fucked genetically.
carpal tunnel is generally a woman problem, most men who have "carpal tunnel" usually just have RSI
