all of this schooling from home, my hand isn't used to typing this much, thanks for the help.
Facts, im so scared now lol
my wrist already have callus for using the mouse a lot
I think my ulnar nerves is mangled together now, it's hurts so much but what can I do really about it
Thanks, I'm 17 and have been pc gaming regularly for years and recently been having pretty sharp forearm pain and this helped a lot.
Yes me too
Same homie
this video makes the tilting of keyboards in playing cs go legit
Me too!
Same homie
Thank you TT
I know it's been 6yrs but all this work from home is killing me.
Thank you
Good video. As a pianist I try to apply coordinated movements when typing or using the mouse including not breaking at the wrist (think of the arm and hand as a unit that moves together), no stretching (shift the whole hand so the fingers stay together, for example, if reaching to hit function or escape key) and not raising the fingers too high so they don't curl. I hope this helps.
This is the best video ive seen on this subject. Thanks
Update: I bought a Aeron chair, apple trackpad mouse, apple keyboard and a monitor stand (to be at eye level) and a standing desk, fixed my problem
Oldie but goodie. No nonsense. Thank you!
When she said use another one I thought they were gonna pull out a sick gaming mouse. Thank you for this video I found it very useful as a Gamer, I was doing a couple of the bad habits in this video.
best video on this topic. Goes into all the relevant detail with great demonstrations. Thank you
1:22 I use separate words a lot so...yeah...
Seriously though thanks for these tips!
3:32 mouse is so freaking strange ... even hand is confused
I think it looks like a nice compromise between a normal mouse and a vertical ergonomic mouse.
@@muskndusk I bought a vertical mouse because of wrist pain, and I hate it, i helped me nothing
I bought an evoluent vertical mouse and since then my wrist pain is gone. I had a cheaper one before that, but after I got the new one, I felt the difference at the first use.
hell yeah it is a strange mouse but it's a "ergonomic mouse" that helps your hand to not have wrist pain
Really helpful video I've re-watched it quite a few times already just this year. Thank you very much!
This is the best video I have found! Thanks soooo much
Very key points and practical positions mentioned. Thanks
Well this video just cleared up for me every single darn issue I'm having, between the keyboard size to what was causing my shoulder/neck AND ulnar pain. Thank you so much for posting this. Apparently I use all of my computer equipment like a real dork and that's what has been the issue.
I'm going to try the floating typing. Thanks.
I removed my wrist pads (double layer!) and tried the floating method and it actually feels better typing (for now)! I testet with some typing test websites but that is not enough. After a week using this method - i am gonna conclude if this is the best way for me.
@@allesominta conclusion?
@@captaincaption i am gonna buy a split-keyboard e.g. Dygma Raise ... i am out of option on this issue
@@allesominta split keyboards sure are ergonomic, keep on typing my friend!
Really helpful. thank you so much!
Great video, thank you very much
thanks a lot, I do everything well except the mouse, now I know why my index finger hurts for long awhile .. thanks a lot. advice, download keytweak and switch backspace to the ; key which is very uncommon and move the ; to the backspace this way you would not rotate your hand to reach for that very used key .. it well take you few days to adjust but your hand would thank you for it.. and use the cap lock for other useful key that cost you a lot to type,.. analyze what you do while typing or playing it will tell you what and why and where. thanks a lot for this video
Hi Sarah, good video, I use a laptop and get pains in my fingers mostly, I use it a lot, I am trying to use it a lot less and using your tips thanks from Fred in Essex, Uk.
amazing explanation and demonstration.
Good solid, practical advice, thank you. I used to have my mouse at a slightly higher level than my keyboard the root cause of my shoulder and forearm problems. I intend to go back to using a trackball mouse having it at the same level as my keyboard. My outstretched arm really complained!!
Thanks. My right pointer finger is so painful this is great information 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Sarah
So valuable! Thank you!
this video was very well made. ty foir all the advice
Thanks for providing such knowledgeable video
thanks for making such helpful video
Damn she solved all my problems in 5 minutes
thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you so much this is really good information
Even more relevant now due to most people WFH. I recently changed to a trackball mouse and split keyboard, they have really helped. Sit/stand desks are good too as you are more likely to use your devices properly when you can't slump in a chair.
Great video! I’m having pain in my wrist and thumb from the mouse. Now I know to get a different mouse.
helpful information thank you very much.
fantastic thank you!
Very informative.
Thanks, this was very helpful :)
2:34 is exactly what's causing my wrist pain. I bought this cheap desktop table were you need to place the mouse on top of it and the keyboard on the slider. The mouse placement causes strain to my forearm while my wrist is holding on from the weight of my arm. I transferred the mouse to fit besides the keyboard on the slider and it feels better now.
Good job 👍🏼
Thanks
thanks
thank you
About 4 four months ago experienced muscle pain and eventually weakness. Little did I know was side-effect of SIMLO cholesterol tablets taken about 1 year. No warning of side effects were given. I stopped taking months now.
Still I get pain 1 side of the left index finger, tiny rare pain left thumb - right little finger and top of right hand - I type often use a mouse or game controller with my right. Once my hands aren't in use it goes but returns with long use.
Years typing i never got this pain b4.
Thanks for the helpful video! :O)
Great video. Very useful with thoughtful details about working in a desktop and the relationship with keyboard, mouse, screen and paper. In order to accomplish these good practices successfully, it is important to use proper furniture, especially a task chair and a desktop.
With a proper furniture you can, among other things, to set the right height of your chair and desktop, this is basic to guarantee a relaxed posture.

Thanks for teaching mam
When i was use the key so i got more pain
Now i hope
i will use keyboard as you
thank you mam
This was helpful
wow I do all of those things
Thank you for this helpful video. I've had cubital tunnel pain for a few years & have tried many new techniques and devices. I've found a detached trackpad to be most helpful so far, but am going to now order an ergonomic mouse that doesn't require clenching of the pinky.
How's your cts
@@ozguraydn8407 Doing well! I did a round of physical therapy which was very helpful. I try to take breaks in my work so as not to aggravate it. I got a Kensington Trackball that I use, but the main thing that helps is breaks and not pushing myself if it hurts. I've also noticed that using my phone a lot contributes to the pain. Best of luck to all suffering.
Where can I buy a detachable Trackpad?
2:07 excellent typing.
Or if your on a site press the scroll wheel so you can go up and down the page with the mouse. Or use page up and down on the keyboard 👍
A trackball mouse is a lifesaver when it comes to ergonomics. Instead of moving the device across the table, you merely orbit a ball using your fingertips with the device remaining inplace.
I agree, this has helped me a lot!
just a question can i get just a littele big forearm by this since i am training my forearm
Please suggest a wireless ergonomic KB and mouse.
Was designated with Ris by the doctor due to pain at left index finger, right palm - mostly. I use a mouse responsible for palm pain; the keyboard causes the index pain. After a long session with the xbox controller the palm hurt.
Doctor said i spent too much hours and simlo cholesterol tablets whose side effect was pain months ago and stopped taking - could be a catalyst. I am to change KB and mouse and spend less hours. When i type most its on the bed.
Hi. What do you guys think of this "vertical mousepad" I been using by Orb Control, MouseRamp. I got an early sample of it. I use a regular mouse on it. It puts my hand into "handshake position". It's been more accurate and less awkward than a vertical mouse for me. I hope this helps somebody.
Ty for video my right hand hurts so much and now i know i was playing too much pc games i was playing it like 3hours a day without doining anything else at first my hand just hurt a little bit but it was ok then next day i couldnt even move it because my bone was... idk how can i say that in englis i can just say that i couldnt even move it
Summary of the video: First in the list is to know that brisk twist of wrist while it rest on the disk, without rest risks the fist and wrist .
it is true see the meaning of the words , not the difficulty of the sentence.
Interesting
wrist rest desk risk
in other word, to explain it best, First in the list is that brisk twist of wrist without rest risk the fist and wrist which prevalent in the West .

I've been diagnosed with shoulder bursitis, but I see the cause is the overuse of the laptop, specially by clicking the left button of the mouse a million times a day due to the technical work I need to do, specially with microsoft excel. What I feel is mostly a sort of tendinitis in my right bicep because of the use of the index finger. I also feel stiffness and weakness in my hands, specially when waking up. I put a box under the laptop so that I don't curve my neck when I look at the screen, but at the same time I think that is bad for my shoulder and arms. Now I would like to know how to cure myself. Years ago I could heal by stopping the use of the laptop for a couple of days, but nowadays it seems it doesn't go away for months until I get a corticoid shot. Do you have any advice? (this video is great, btw)
It will never go away once you get injured. It also leads to arthritis down the road.
What is the thing she uses for writing on called? Thought of getting that one
Microdesk Document Holder and Writing Surface
Thank you for this video. Can't believe that my new job hurt me when I'm just typing and sitting down.
I'm facing this issue from last 3 weeks. My right hand pain like hell in the morning. I will change my working position will that help to reduce the pain? 😔
For me an Evoluent vertical mouse and a Microsoft Natural Ergo 4000 keyboard helped. I used them for years and I am still using them.
how are you now?
what about fingers pain ?
I have to use the spacebar a lot when I play fortnite and I have to hit really hard on my keys
Variate how you sit and type through the day, take small breaks, stretch. Also get a mouse pad, you'll get better tracktion on the screen and something soft to rest your wrist on. For the eyes, use the 'night mode' feature in Windows 10 to dim the blue sharp light.
if reting your wrists is bad for your wrists, why do they sell wrist rests for typing and using your mouse?
Oh no. Seems like I've been studying at home the wrong way. No wonder i keep getting headache and painful forearms ans wrist! Time to reconsider the way i work. Haha I did do one thing right which was to raise the monitor to my eye level however, as a student i use a lot of paper and i need to bend my neck to see the paper causing pain.
My right pointer finger tendends hurts from clicking to much from many hours of clicking and not many breaks how can I did it?
Fix*
@@Sw1tchly First in the list to fix this, is to know that brisk twist of wrist without rest risk the fist and wrist .
To fix it, I'd first recommend resting your finger for a few days until its gone, and then, after its gone, try to improve your current situation. Like taking more breaks (getting water, bathroom), and using a combination for clicking. For example, I use my laptop's touchpad + Mouse, and have never had any problems with my finger tendons (It was my wrist instead). Also, by any chance? Could the problem be with your mouse (What mouse do you use)? And is your mouse difficult to use/press the buttons?
Another thing to keep in mind is, how you use your mouse. Is your wrist straight? And how do you move your mouse? Do you move it with your wrist? Or do you use your arm instead?
I'd recommend checking this video out, to try and avoid any future problems with mousing: czcams.com/video/vG_3bS3ftVM/video.html
I have to use the space bar for gaming.
How do you play video games my whole arm has to rest on the table
why do i feel awkward?
I got jebaited
keeping wrist suspended in air sounds strainful
Ahh the reest reest, I get it! Good video though :)
I'm a gamer and this is just weird because I have to click the spacebar a lot
"Do you overuse the space bar?"
Ofcoursenotwhowoulddosomethingsosillyasthat?

2:33 I have done that position for 6 years and i have no problems.

Always remember we must repent of our sins (sin is transgression The Law Of Yahuah The Father in Heaven. The Law are The Books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy). We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins!
Come to HIM Today. Much love!
Thank you, this video was really helpful
