Arm position

[dante]

Does anyone else struggle finding a "good" position for their mouse arm? It seems like any time I find something comfortable it becomes uncomfortable and difficult to move and aim well after a few days and then I have to change it again, which screws up my muscle memory constantly.

Try to have a chair where the arm rests are equal in height to the edge of the desk. I think you're supposed to have elbows above your hands for blood flow.

I took the arms off my chair because they weren't adjustable and affected my movement too much. I struggle between liking to use my wrist and not my arm and having my wrist on the edge of the table vs having my forearm on the edge.

No arms? That sounds horrible.

The ideal position is an arm that is maybe 1 inch below the desk slightly curving up directly to the mouse pad, sometimes with a wrist cushion. As in your wrist comes in directly from the bottom of the mouse pad or from the right side slightly.

Either way your elbow and forearm is resting on the arm of a chair.

I strongly recommend arms however if you can't put them back on, just push the chair really close to the desk so you put your arms on the desk. Current setup sounds really unplayable imo
