Is standing while gaming something you would consider?

I've found this to be true, too -- gaming is definitely effected by a standing desk, and I tend to play different types of games standing vs sitting too. Honestly, a standing desk has changed my life - I constantly alternate between sitting and standing all day (I do a lot more work than gaming). And yeah - anti-fatigue mats for your feet while standing are SO MUCH BETTER. It keeps you bouncy and alert. I'd say having a standing/sitting desk is every bit as important as having a really good chair (and perfect monitor placement for your neck/shoulders). It makes spending time at the computer way more healthy.

My performance grinding cod mw, my legs get use to it standing up while gaming competitive game. Also it’s good for your spine.

Interesting. A standing desk is something I'm quite interested in. The only suggestion I would make, from watching the video, is raising the monitor up to eye height whilst still keeping the arms (kb/mouse) at the correct positions. Tilting one's head downward creates an enormous amount of strain on one's neck & shoulders.

"I use the best chair in the market for maximum blood flow" - what a sentence

I can see how standing, while gaming on a PC. Would seem to offer a bit more of a competitive edge, vs those who are seated.
I myself, can't stand while PC gaming, due to a physical limitation.
However, it does stand to reason (no pun intended), that one would feel much more engaged while standing and possibly perform better, when compared to the performance while seated.

I know this is an older video but people might come across it like I did here. When you're young and flexible standing the way you are there feels "fine", but trust me my friend, after a few years of that you're going to feel the pain in your upper back and neck. You need your monitor in front of your eyeline and back straight. You also need your elbows at 90 degrees if you plan to stand in this position for hours on end. Please do a little research into posture and heed the advice you read there. No hate, just needs to be said for you and others watching.

Great video, what I really loved about this video was, you had two individuals stand and game and give their natrual opinion about gaming and standing. GREAT JOB JD👍🏽

I work at home and loveeee my standing desk. Pretty much worth it for me since I get wrestless sometimes

[JoshTechgamer]

yea i agree standing i can see it like COD but like Diablo lol sitting lol for sure and chair wise yes i really like that chair. I believe a good gaming chair helps allot . Great video man like it

I both stand and sit while console gaming. I mostly stand when playing fps or fighting games, while casual games I sit.

i'd like to try standing while doing ps5 to improve blood circulation and because i have sometimes gut issues and i would think this could help. its just odd holding the controller that way.

I don't know I mostly play Elder Scrolls. Survival games. I think this is great for someone who has to sit all day like if it's their job. But really the only time that I'm sitting is when I'm playing games. I've been seeing if I could find a workbench too attached to my wall.

So I have two positions at home: Either stand or sitting on the most relaxing armchair that was repurposed as desktop chair.
Both need a height adjustable table. So it is either maximum chill or healthy concentrated standing.

At work it is a bit different, there I either stand or use a chair where can't lean back but instead can lean in all directions and turn around.

This is so true I wish I could get a desk that I can just push to go down and up instead of having to use electric because those cost more

[bii]

Low chance of a reply I guess but I'd love to know if you experienced any wobbling at all with this setup when the desk is raised?

[CrimsonWarrior]

I know this video is old so doubt ill get a reply from anyone but those who do stand how offen do you move round when standing to help blood flow in the legs

I tried gaming sitting down and I was awful. I started playing my first pc game and it was Overwatch and I couldn’t track at all. I tried switching it up and all of a sudden I could play way better standing. It’s weird but sitting with a pc is just way different than sitting and playing with console for some reason

[warpedmusic]

[mikediaz]
