Gaming Usage Review โ€“ 2 THUMBS UP!

When gaming, I have problems with stretching my fingers when pressing all the keys (especially the top keys and number keys) and I have a very bad wrist shape. I've used multiple keyboard positions and palm rests to overcome this, but when I'm not rolling I always end up with my wrist hurting or hitting the wrong key mid-game. This was without a doubt the best purchase I have ever made and has completely overcome those issues! It seems very solid overall (mounting, clips, brackets, etc.). I really like that it has 3 pivot points. 2 points in the gray arm joints and black armrests also have independent horizontal rotation function. First of all it is a VERY competitive price (especially for 2 units)! This is the setup that I think (for me) works best: about 4 to 5 inches horizontal clearance from each chair back. I found that this allowed for better rotation in the gray areas of the wrists and didn't interfere with mouse movement. Vertically, the lower gray band is under the armrest about 1/8" to 1/4" above the table. This raised my forearms/wrists by about 2 inches. Even when I relax my wrists, my fingers fall PERFECTLY on the keyboard. Because of this, my wrists don't hurt when I try to keep my wrists in the right shape. I positioned the black armrests so they are right in front of my elbows. This allows my forearms to make the most of the independent horizontal pivoting capabilities of the black armrests. THIS IS A PURCHASE!
