how does /g/ protect itself from carpal tunnel?

deep desk, elbows and arms always resting on table with keyboard an mouse far into the middle of the desk, instead of at the edge.

lifting, martial arts, hobbies that aren't just sitting in front of a monitor all day

I don't. I just hope my body will be safe.

>>61063480
I cut my wrists off when I decided I would spend all my life typing for a living. My hands have then been re-attached to my arms. I look silly, I know, and it turned out not to be a bright idea. But at least I can brag on /g/ in threads where people ask what I do to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.

>>61063649

>>61063480
carpal tunnel seems fun. How do i get it?

>>61063718
You don't because it doesn't exist.

You just claim you have it so you can get on government benefits and live the NEET life you always wanted.

Holy fucking autism

Low mouse sensitivity and a big mousepad and then get out of the habit to move the mouse with your hand. Move it by moving your lower arm.

>>61063649
That is a tendonitis test you spastic

>>61063480
Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg... and my arm... even my fingers. The body I've lost... the comrades I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you? I'm gonna make them give back our past.

Vertical mouse + Dynaflex pro gyro

I alternate fapping hands every day.

I'm 23 y/o CS student and I have it. It sucks. I'm p.fit normie and I'm fucking pissed. At least I can get a surgery once it gets way too fucking bad.

After the surgery I'll get a trackball.

The vertical mouse made my wrist pain way worse. T. >>61065431

weed

high dpi, move mouse with fingers

>>61065449
Did you already had carpal before using the mouse?

>>61065459
This. Makes programming and emotional/wrist pain manageable

idk about your guys but writing fucks my hands up,

exams with lots of code writing recks me, but typing is A-OK.

>>61065351
If your hand is in a horizontal position, the back of your hand should be level with your forearm. If you're lifting up your hand and creating an angle, that causes sprain.

This is why you should always keep your wrist elevated or floating when you're typing or using a mouse. If you're standing at your desk, find a way to elevate your keyboard and mouse or you'll cause major sprains.

True.
Armrests are really fucking important but most people ignore them.
