Re: Fingernails
I don't have any problems with my nails, but my friend once cut me with his nails.

Re: Fingernails
As everyone else said, I hate the fact that I get pain when they're too long. That's when my fingernails to be clipped.
On a somewhat related subject, has anyone gotten rid of the arrow on the arrow keys while playing FFR (before mapping keys)? Like, when you play, the label is being "erased"? I have erased the right arrow key. |

Re: Fingernails
I don't really notice the difference of having long fingernails when playing FFR. It's certainly noticeable when I play the piano though - sometimes, a nail can fall between piano keys. That hurts. x(

Re: Fingernails
If my fingernails are too long, I have to adjust my playing style by curving my fingers less, hitting the keys with the flat part of my fingertips. If my nails are cut very short, I can hit the keys with the tips of my fingers. In short, short fingernails = better gameplay for me.

I played for a very long time with my arrow keys as well, and you can actually see where I have engraved the plastic with the pressure of my fingers. It's pretty intense. |

Re: Fingernails
0.o, I always have long nails, except when I rarely cut them, or pick them.
Though I hit the keys with my fingers, not the tips of my fingers, so I have nothing to worry about anyways. |

Re: Fingernails
I used to get annoyed at my fingernails so i would grab the nearest scissors and cut my index nails off. Consequently this would make them uneven from the others later on. This was only an issue when playing index though.

Re: Fingernails
Long nails = scraping of keys. Sometimes my fingers slip off the key and I hit a miss, or I mistime it because I don't push the key down in time.
Short nails are good. p.s. You guys are bad at cutting nails if it hurts.

Re: Fingernails
I don't play with the tips of my fingers, I've never had this problem.
