Why do Pros TILT their keyboard? 

nah bro he's just trying to be different

@@jordsn_l nothin but the truth

@@jordsn_l trying too hard begging for attention is what he is doing

Technically nothing is better than the other since the distance between the keys are still the same it might be placebo

@@Neighbour1 nah it’s not placebo, it genuinely makes it easier to press other keys with your thumb, plus u get more mouse room

my thoughts watching this video lmao i have a 60% and I have all the space in the world

my friend had a 65% keyboard and he still does this 💀, he said it just felt more comfortable when he's going on competitive lobbies. as for me, im just a casual rpg game player so i've never tried those stuff.

I have a 60% keyboard and I tilt it at 75 degrees😂😂

what's wrong with tilting? especially on tac shooters when you need to crouch or walk more often. it's literally way easier to press shiftl or ctrl.

I have a 60% keyboard and I can literally do 720° in one swing

Lemme explain so my keyboard sits at about 11o clock I broke my hand a couple times so I have no tendons in my finger fr so they can stretch I can hit every key perfectly that way up until like g I use every key to the left of g

Frr

Yes

Faxx

I like in the middle of 45 and 90 about 67.5 -70 degree tilt

I’m more of a subtle 15° kinda guy

Lmao

with a TN panel display💀

@@ishlight3772 ud be playing on a black screen💀💀💀

Upside down would be best just like sym

Hey thanks. Just got a 20 bomb on apex because of this.

what this dude said 👌

Yep. Was searching for this exact comment.

as u said. monitors were huge back in the days and you couldnt fit ur keyboard horizontaly if you wanted to sit close (been to over 15 different dreamhack LAN's 🥲)

How was this not mentioned in the video??

@@exile4474 my child, you must know something. TheScoreEsports likes to use clickbait and not answering questions, because it generates views, it creates drama, it leads to money.

only real OG´s know!

None of the dudes shown in this video are old enough to have gone to a lan party

​@@osnofa__they are old enough, most of the pros shown in the video were in LANs.

Desk weren't ready for this work💪🏽

​@@evnatusYea, doubt it

Crazy af

Mines a toilet seat

Me too

Omg good idea

Thats what i did

@@bredsandwich yeah, but it would still be better

@@bredsandwich that’s the point. 60% is more compact

I still tilt my 60%. Absolutely not 90 degrees though, more like 45, I just got small hands man

@@sleebees yeah, that’s what I do when I play shooter games

hahahahahah

One guy actually beat Minecraft while doing that lmfao💀💀

Dude same

I use both so I have 20 keys at a moments notice

Im using voice commands ,so i dont need even keys to play

Some Starcraft 2 player actually played against one guy on live stream with his feet and actually won.

Same hahahahahaha

they still make more money and still play better and more relevant than you tho

@@JonS554 unfunniest joke wtf

​@@axsuriaa jeez, no one hurt you, relax

🥺 my wrists broke

😂😂

Lmao

i do the same thing (for different reasons) but i turn it the opposite direction than i usually see people doing it

I do the same thing too but I didn’t messed up my hands or anything. Just felt more natural that way

I'd say 30 to 45 degrees is ideal, matter of fact, it's anatomically more adequate, less strain for your wrist.

Mine hovers between 45 and 60 degrees.

Mines about 15-20 degree angle because it allows me to just hit the b button while also hitting weapons

Yass this I agree

45 is where the limit, not 90

Yepp. Do this all the time

30-45 seems fine anything but 90

Mine's at about a 5 degree angle to the opposite direction and I hold the keyboard right at the edge of the table. I have an arm rest as an anchor point and I use kind of a lounge sitting position like the CS:GO pro JDM.

i play at about mabye 25 or 30

Practice makes better. 🎉

720 degrees diff

​@@Robert.M1205 1440 meta >

I normally play vertically completely

same it's so good to have my wrist that way

​@@Tomas-zc4nk nahh. Your keys face down is meta

Same. My eDPI is 3000 or 4000 which I brought down from 6000. 🤣

4000+ dpi gang

My LG G hero 502 goes up to 24,600 dpi which is bananas😂😂 I normally have it between 1000 and 4000 with 6000 being the max for fast paced games

Dpi high, sensitivity low.

@@Jomega1212 Exactly!!! depending on the game's sense measurements, in some games i have like, 20.5 sens which in other games it would be converted to 5.5 sens, i play with 1600 dpi tho

same

Yo same

45 is fine but straight up 90 is just ridiculous

@@ashenblood agreed

For your what??

@@NavidMasud his mouse

depends also to get monitor closer

​@@0xgreyhound never sat an inch away only. Sure to those few who had their nose pressed against the monitor maybe but with 10 inches away from monitor, never saw a kb that fat you couldn't be close enough an monitor stand/foot against kb wasn't enough. But I give you that if you had to lean forward arm position would get bad and wasd too close, hence it's a valid thing but iirc it was more side to side with the guy next being too close. Sitting pretty much shoulder to shoulder is rough. This is on a non professional level and my youth.

Xd agreed you dont use the whole keyboard there is almost no game that require you to use wasd and p.l.o.k etc keys that is on right side of the keyboard most of them use all the keys on left side so no need

yea he just likes it that way it ain't that deep lol

does your mum still cut up your food for you?

I mean sure at least it isnt 90 degrees or anything

This. Even though I learned with plenty of room (or at least enough to not have to tilt it too much) I sit xantares close when I'm playing cs and almost as close in most other games. It just lets me place my hand more naturally. If it's 90 degrees I have to bend my wrist in an unnatural way.

Unspoken Rizz

The only reason you would ‘suffer’ in general from that situation would be the same regardless of your keyboard position. It’s called *Not Coming Off The Computer* .

@@aterriblesliceoftoast4096 I disagree. If I'm comfortable enough and take short breaks, I can spend like 10 hours and feel fine. If I'm not confortable, I will have wrist pain or back pain after just 1.5-2 hours.

@@Schmuly in what ways? your arm rests much more natural at ~45 degree angle as opposed to straight. It isn't a significant improvement if you are gaming constantly but it is a help for sure.

@@aterriblesliceoftoast4096 ofc constantly gaming would make it fairly moot, but a ~45 degree turn can actually relieve a lot of fatigue and joint pain in your wrists from gaming.

this isn’t correct. it wasn’t to slow people down, it was to space the ink bars of the most commonly used keys apart so they wouldn’t get jammed up. yes, this happened in an alphabetical layout from typing too fast, but people clearly learned to type just as fast with the qwerty layout, if not faster than before, because they no longer had to worry about their keys getting jammed up. so saying the qwerty design was made to “slow people down” is misleading. edit: that being said, keyboards were clearly not designed with gaming in mind.

but it doesn't matter in the context of video gaming, because you're not "typing", you're just pressing keys that are assigned to certain movements/executions. You can literally just rebind them.

​@@GameFuMasterwhich is why controllers are made

​@@mkv2718forgot about the jamming 😂. thanks for the correction.

45° slant makes it easier to reach everything for me,I have pretty small hands so it helps out

It does make the keys easier to reach. The wrist position is different when tilting keyboard allowing for your thumbs to reach buttons further. It does not cause wrist problems, its the opposite, it keeps the wrist stable, playing normal keyboard is bad for wrist because there is more burden on the wrist when reaching further keys and creates instability. Tilted keyboard keeps yours wrist more stable and arm position locked which gives off less exertion.

been looking for this comment

Lmao spoken like a true 12000 dpi bot 😂😂😂😂😂

Same bro it is so much nicer idk how people play with a horizontal rotation tbh

@@superkdog888 yea horizontal just flat out feels weird. personally over time it makes my wrist hurt.

@@crowned_user yeah 100% saw someone play like that so I did for a little bit it was terrible. Also being an controller main reaching for keys already feels weird so horizontal makes it even worse

@@superkdog888 ive been a k&m main for 3 years now. ive always played angled. but there is a fine line to whats ok when it come to keyboard angle. anything over 60 degrees just isnt ok.

Yes, I remembered it when I was watching the events back then, I noticed something and my God the amount of space left for mouse movement is baffling

Turning your wrist 90 degrees is not it's natural resting position.

Maybe actually search up why they do this, because now it looks like you’re on the spectrum

It’s not cool or okay to use a real neuro-developmental diagnosis as an insult. As someone who has worked with autistic folks, they are not characterized by doing weird things. They aren’t even all characterized by “lacking theory of mind”. They’re all distinct and amazing people like you and me. The fact that this is the most liked comment on this short is really disappointing. Do better, gaming community.

@@j_estrelicaIt’s not that deep. Chill out

@@crystal7143 on the contrary, it is.

@@crystal7143that’s the issue though, people use “on the spectrum” as an insult because it’s funny and “not that deep”, but it really does normalize negative and false stereotypes about autistic folks, and can be really hurtful for those people. Saying someone’s “on the spectrum” for doing something weird is just as hurtful as saying that just because someone’s African American they “must be dangerous” or just because someone’s a girl they “belong in the kitchen”. No one chooses to be African American, a female, or autistic, and everyone who belongs to these minorities are more than than the stereotypes people so casually mention. It’s harmful to those people. And it’s harmful to the person using these stereotypes because they will think lesser of these people and never get to know them as the people they are. If you think it’s weird to turn your keyboard, just say it’s weird. There’s no need to propagate stigmatization along with it, just to be “funny”.
