Gaming- Mouse Position and Wrist Pain

Using the mouse n the wrong position can cause compression of the Median and Ulnar nerves in the wrist causing carpal tunnel syndrome. This video shows you some simple solutions to protecting your wrist. Send me your questions and I'll make more videos!

Finally, a straight-to-the-point timeless video. Listening to this years later and it's so helpful. Thanks a lot!

Not a single dislike. This is the quality content that Youtube needs.

After watching your video, I raised my chair up a few inches. Now my arm is nearly in line with the table and my wrist does not even touch! This is huge! Thank you for the sound advice!

surprisingly interesting and informative, answered all my wrist pain related questions in a 3 minute video!

This video was literally all I needed to be able to immediately relieve the pain I was getting on the pinky side of my hand whenever I tried to use my "ergonomic" mouse. I still have a lot of habit-breaking to do, but the simple act of lifting my pisiform bone off of the desk has made it so much easier to do my job!

I just discovered this video, and found it helpful for adjusting my ergonomics. Thank you for the video - Straight and to the point, still relevant 4 years later.

This was a huge help. I spent the last 30 minutes looking for this specific format to combat my forearm pain. Thank you!

[JerrySideKick]

I’ve had pain while playing the piano and recently got into pc gaming. Thank you so much for the advice!

Steve,
One of the most professional explaining, even if I am not a gamer, just a beatmaker, and editing a lot on my computer, this was very useful.
Thank you.

Thank you so much for this! I was looking for an ergonomic mouse to minimise any repetive strain injury on my fingers while editing but stumbled across this video. I immediately raised my chair so that my arm was back in line with my desk. Grabbed a rolled up tshirt to use under my wrist and already I'm way more comfortable at my desk. Thank you Steve!

Follow his advice. I've been using my mouse in a non-ergonomic way for years (not gaming, but for work and social media) and I've developed carpal tunnel syndrome in both my hands. Went under rehab twice and took medicines but the pain didn't go away. Now I invested in a good vertical mouse and planning on upgrading my mechanical keyboard to an alice layout. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome may not seem so serious but when it's there, it's always there and it's very annoying especially that we use our hands in our daily lives.

solved my pain issue. i was sitting LOW... i started sitting up in the chair allowing no preassure on my wrist... POOF. fixed

[GrimShizuri]

A bit of advice that helps me sometimes: Lower your mouse sensitivity. This will cause you to move your mouse from the shoulder instead of using the wrist.

saving lives out here Steve. Much appreciated

Excellent, straight forward and informative video! Now I know the reason for the swelling/protruding bone (pisiform) on my right wrist. Pretty painful. I just hope it heals.
