right now I'm trying to keep my wrists off the keyboard while I play. I am hoping that I can get more speed this way. Is this how most of you sub 9 average rank (or capable of) players play?

I play on the arrow keys so I keep my wrists rested on my desk.
EDIT: Also have my arms rested on a pull-out drawer in my desk.Last edited by reptile3141; 02-26-2009, 06:31 PM.Originally posted by [TeRa] -

Numpad user here. I rest my arms on the desk with my wrists on the keyboard, unless I am jacking. Then I'm off. But I also have 22 keys removed from my keyboard.

Re: hands on or off the keyboard?
Usually keeping your hands on the keyboard works so you can actually press the keys

Re: hands on or off the keyboard?
i have my keyboard fairly fair away from me, and i rest my arm on the desk with only my fingers on the keyboard, so basically from my elbow down, is what i keep on the desk, using my fingers to do AS KL

Re: hands on or off the keyboard?
i rest mine but all the best speed players tend to have their hands raised from what i've seen. i tried it and got pretty severe wrist pains after about 5 songs so i stoppedsquirrel--it's whats for dinner.Comment

Re: hands on or off the keyboard?
I keep my left hand kept on the keyboard, and my right hand off.
Probably why I can only pass songs with way more up/right jacks than left/down jacks. But I have way better control on 260 bpm+ stream with my left hand, and usually get more goods/boos with my right.Playing FFR/Lurking around the forums since Dec. 2004Comment

Re: hands on or off the keyboard?
Always lay your hands/wrists on the keyboard or on the desk or else you might get injured. That way of playing is more likely to increase the chances of getting tendinitis or carpal tunnel

Re: hands on or off the keyboard?
Yeah, this seems to be what's up. If you want to go fast (and we're talking probably faster than you'll need to go for 99% of the stuff in FFR), raise your wrists. It can be painful though. I play like this naturally, but my wrists get sore after a while. Actually my wrists get sore from like one game of Vertex BETA haha.Comment
