how old are you and how long did it take to develop? I've never hurt my hand while gaming, this "carpal tunnel" buzzword seems like a hoax to me. Should I be scared, and do some preventive mesures, or are some people just immune?
Also, I game A LOT, and I only experienced exhaustion a couple of timed after a whole day of fps games, no other genre did any strain on me.
In your 40s, you will pay for the sins of your 20s. Pay attention to your ergonomics because by the time you feel pain the damage is already done.
I use thick cushiony gel wrist supports and an ergonomic mouse. Why would anyone want to be less comfortable and risk future issues?
You must not game hard enough. True gamers use a desk thats too tall, a chair thats too short, lack a wrist pad and sut with their arm in a single position only making slight adjustments via the wrist fir hours on end without getting up.
Your sarcasm has information. I did spend a lot of money on a good ergonomic chair. Not a scam "gaming chair" but a good office one. I guess I'm not a true gamer :( But my mouse is on 3200 dpi, almost only wrist movements.
