Why do Pros TILT their keyboard?
Ойындар
#shorts #esports #keyboard
There are pros out there - or sick freaks, as we like to call them - who tilt their keyboards to a degree that is, quite frankly, unacceptable.
To a more untrained eye, this looks ridiculous and painful.
But, apparently, some people swear by tilted keyboard setups.

Back in the olden days, when you wanted to go to LAN parties, you had to bring your pc and monitor, where you had to play in a limited table space. That meant that you had to make as much mouse space as possible by turning your keyboard vertical.

I actually turn my keyboard 45 degrees, because it's a more ergonomic position for my hand to be in when gaming using WASD. When I have it horizontal my wrist has to be bent to use WASD, but when I turn my keyboard a bit, it's in a relaxed position where my wrist is in line with the rest of my arm.

Well, the main reason for this is that in the old days, desks would've been quite small, and so placing both keyboard and mouse was problematic. Nowadays we have TKL keyboards and, of course, large desks. However, professional players still use the keyboard vertically as they are just used to it) You can really see this playstyle in Counter Strike
Imagine getting mopped by a random player in warzone with an upside down keyboard. I'd feel depressed.

What is grass? Grass is a common name for a large group of plants that belong to the family Poaceae, which includes about 10,000 species of flowering plants1 Grasses are found in almost every habitat on Earth, from the polar regions to the tropics, and from the mountains to the deserts. Grasses are also very important for human civilization, as they provide food, fodder, fuel, fiber, medicine and many other products and services. Characteristics of grasses Grasses have some distinctive features that make them different from other plants. Some of these features are: Stems: Grasses have hollow stems that are divided into segments by nodes. The nodes are where the leaves attach to the stem. The stem segments between the nodes are called internodes. Some grasses have solid stems, such as bamboo and sugarcane2 Leaves: Grasses have long and narrow leaves that grow from the base of the stem or from the nodes. The leaves have parallel veins that run along the length of the leaf. The leaves are usually arranged in two rows on opposite sides of the stem. The part of the leaf that wraps around the stem is called the sheath, and the part that extends away from the stem is called the blade. The point where the sheath and blade meet is called the ligule, which can be a thin membrane, a fringe of hairs or absent2 Roots: Grasses have fibrous root systems that branch extensively and form a dense network of fine roots near the soil surface. The roots help to anchor the plant, absorb water and nutrients, and prevent soil erosion. Some grasses also have rhizomes or stolons, which are horizontal stems that grow underground or along the soil surface and produce new shoots and roots at their nodes. Rhizomes and stolons help grasses to spread vegetatively and colonize new areas2 Flowers: Grasses have small and inconspicuous flowers that are grouped together in spikelets. A spikelet consists of one or more florets, which are the individual flowers, and two bracts called glumes, which enclose the florets. Each floret has a lemma and a palea, which are two more bracts that surround the reproductive organs. The reproductive organs consist of three stamens (male parts) and a pistil (female part) with two feathery stigmas. The stamens produce pollen grains that are carried by wind to the stigmas of other florets for fertilization. The pistil develops into a seed called a caryopsis, which is enclosed by the lemma and palea2 The following table summarizes some of the main characteristics of grasses: Characteristic Description Stems Hollow, segmented by nodes Leaves Long, narrow, parallel-veined Roots Fibrous, branching Flowers Small, grouped in spikelets Types of grasses Grasses can be classified into different types based on their growth habit, life cycle, morphology or use. Some of these types are: Bunchgrasses: These are grasses that grow in tufts or clumps without rhizomes or stolons. They usually have erect stems and leaves that radiate from a central point. Examples of bunchgrasses are wheat, oats, barley and rye. Sod-forming grasses: These are grasses that form dense mats or carpets of vegetation with rhizomes or stolons. They usually have creeping stems and leaves that lie flat on the ground or curve upwards at the tips. Examples of sod-forming grasses are bluegrass, bermudagrass and zoysiagrass. Annual grasses: These are grasses that complete their life cycle in one year or less. They germinate from seeds, grow vegetatively, produce flowers and seeds, and die within a single growing season. Examples of annual grasses are crabgrass, foxtail and barnyardgrass. Perennial grasses: These are grasses that live for more than one year. They can survive unfavorable conditions such as drought, frost or fire by going dormant or losing their aboveground parts. They can regrow from their roots, rhizomes or stolons when conditions improve. Examples of perennial grasses are switchgrass, big bluestem and bamboo. Cereal grasses: These are grasses that produce edible grains that are rich in carbohydrates, proteins and vitamins. They are cultivated as staple crops for human consumption and animal feed. Examples of cereal grasses are rice, corn, wheat and millet. Forage grasses: These are grasses that provide fodder for grazing animals such as cattle, sheep and goats. They are grown as pastures, hay or silage. Examples of forage grasses are alfalfa, clover and fescue. Turf grasses: These are grasses that are grown as ornamental or recreational plants for lawns, parks, golf courses and sports fields. They are selected for their appearance, durability and low maintenance. Examples of turf grasses are Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass and bentgrass. Bamboos: These are grasses that have woody stems that can grow very tall and thick. They are used for construction, furniture, paper, musical instruments and many other purposes. Examples of bamboos are giant bamboo, golden bamboo and lucky bamboo. Benefits of grasses Grasses have many benefits for humans and the environment. Some of these benefits are: Food: Grasses provide food for humans and animals in the form of grains, shoots, rhizomes and leaves. Grasses are the source of most of the world’s calories and proteins. Grasses also produce sugar, oil, starch, alcohol and other products that are used for food or industrial purposes. Fiber: Grasses provide fiber for making paper, cloth, rope, baskets and other items. Grasses such as cotton, hemp and flax are grown as fiber crops. Grasses such as bamboo, rattan and reed are used for making furniture, mats and other items. Fuel: Grasses provide fuel for heating, cooking and lighting. Grasses such as wood, charcoal and peat are burned directly as fuel. Grasses such as corn, sugarcane and switchgrass are converted into ethanol or biodiesel that can be used as fuel for vehicles or generators. Medicine: Grasses provide medicine for treating various diseases and ailments. Grasses such as wheatgrass, barley grass and oat straw are used as herbal remedies or dietary supplements. Grasses such as lemongrass, citronella and vetiver are used as essential oils or aromatherapy. Soil conservation: Grasses help to conserve soil by preventing erosion, improving soil structure, increasing organic matter and enhancing water infiltration. Grasses also help to reduce soil salinity, acidity and toxicity by absorbing excess salts, metals and chemicals from the soil. Water conservation: Grasses help to conserve water by reducing runoff, evaporation and transpiration. Grasses also help to purify water by filtering sediments, nutrients and pollutants from the water. Climate regulation: Grasses help to regulate climate by moderating temperature, humidity and wind. Grasses also help to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in their biomass or soil. Biodiversity: Grasses help to maintain biodiversity by providing habitat, food and shelter for many animals, insects and microorganisms. Grasslands support a rich diversity of life forms such as mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, butterflies, bees and fungi. Conclusion Grass is a type of plant that belongs to the family Poaceae. It has distinctive features such as hollow stems, narrow leaves, fibrous roots and small flowers grouped in spikelets. There are many types of grasses based on their growth habit, life cycle, morphology or use. Grasses have many benefits for humans and the environment such as food, fiber, fuel, medicine, soil conservation, water conservation, climate regulation and biodiversity.
Most of it comes from older LAN days (5+ years ago) where there wasn't much desk space and teammates were sitting pretty close to each other. Plus pros tend to use much lower sensitivities so they require more mouse space.
Saw some people explain it in these comments but this started because of confined table space at LANs. I remember back in CS:S when I went to LANs they always had like 2 plastic beer pong tables per team so people had super limited space and had to tilt their keyboard to give their teammates their space and leave room for their mousepads.

This. Even though I learned with plenty of room (or at least enough to not have to tilt it too much) I sit xantares close when I'm playing cs and almost as close in most other games. It just lets me place my hand more naturally. If it's 90 degrees I have to bend my wrist in an unnatural way.

People using a laptop: *why are we here, just to suffer*

From my Experience. I used to play in net cafe and having a small desk to play. So turning my keeb vertical will give me more space to flick the mouse. And if you're those who like to look very closely to the monitor. The body posture you made when playing like this will feel more comfort than playing with normal horizontal keyboard.
I just do a slight tilt. It makes it more ergonomic to press control and some other keys. Probably 30 degrees or a bit more.
just reminding you that a pro CS:GO player named FASHR plays with inverted vertical axis (aka going up with your mouse means going down and viceversa) and also moves forward with the right-click mouse button instead of W. To this day that is the strangest settings I've heard of and his justification is that he played a lot of flying simulation games as a kid.
The guy trying to explain it is probably trying to press his keyboard against his stomach when he needs to lean forward

The 2 main reasons are ergonomics, your wrist doesn’t wasn’t to sit straight and you will have a lot of issues down the line without ANY tilt on your keyboard. The second is space, primarily in old LAN settings when people shared a single table for 3-5 setups you HAD to tilt your keyboard to make sure every player had space.

I like to think of it the same way you would hold a guitar when playing. There's the one you'd originally do, which is put it on your right lap to play, while there's classical stance used in classical guitar playing. You're pretty much cradling the guitar between your thighs, tilting the fretboard diagonally. What this does is it allows you to reach further than usual and is relatively easier on the fingers.

QWERTY keyboards are actually designed to slow people down primarily because of its history with typewriters
@mkv2718
10 ай бұрын
this isn’t correct. it wasn’t to slow people down, it was to space the ink bars of the most commonly used keys apart so they wouldn’t get jammed up. yes, this happened in an alphabetical layout from typing too fast, but people clearly learned to type just as fast with the qwerty layout, if not faster than before, because they no longer had to worry about their keys getting jammed up. so saying the qwerty design was made to “slow people down” is misleading. edit: that being said, keyboards were clearly not designed with gaming in mind.

When you tilt it vertically the distance from each key is still the same, so you arent reaching the keys easier, but you are feeling like you reached them easier. This can also cause a lot of wrist damage over time as it puts strain on muscles near the radius.

It does make the keys easier to reach. The wrist position is different when tilting keyboard allowing for your thumbs to reach buttons further. It does not cause wrist problems, its the opposite, it keeps the wrist stable, playing normal keyboard is bad for wrist because there is more burden on the wrist when reaching further keys and creates instability. Tilted keyboard keeps yours wrist more stable and arm position locked which gives off less exertion.

@@superkdog888 ive been a k&m main for 3 years now. ive always played angled. but there is a fine line to whats ok when it come to keyboard angle. anything over 60 degrees just isnt ok.
The real reason people do this is because in the old days LAN events didn’t have enough desk space so the pro players would tilt their keyboards to save space. Viewers saw the best players in the world playing this way and thought it was advantageous.

Yes, I remembered it when I was watching the events back then, I noticed something and my God the amount of space left for mouse movement is baffling
Ah... At least that upsidedown is not the upsidedown that I imagined..
The true reason is dexterity. Keeps your fingers from straining as it’s a more natural resting position for your hand and fingers

Turning your wrist 90 degrees is not it's natural resting position.
Those guys must be on the spectrum or something

Maybe actually search up why they do this, because now it looks like you’re on the spectrum

It’s not cool or okay to use a real neuro-developmental diagnosis as an insult. As someone who has worked with autistic folks, they are not characterized by doing weird things. They aren’t even all characterized by “lacking theory of mind”. They’re all distinct and amazing people like you and me. The fact that this is the most liked comment on this short is really disappointing. Do better, gaming community.

@@crystal7143that’s the issue though, people use “on the spectrum” as an insult because it’s funny and “not that deep”, but it really does normalize negative and false stereotypes about autistic folks, and can be really hurtful for those people. Saying someone’s “on the spectrum” for doing something weird is just as hurtful as saying that just because someone’s African American they “must be dangerous” or just because someone’s a girl they “belong in the kitchen”. No one chooses to be African American, a female, or autistic, and everyone who belongs to these minorities are more than than the stereotypes people so casually mention. It’s harmful to those people. And it’s harmful to the person using these stereotypes because they will think lesser of these people and never get to know them as the people they are. If you think it’s weird to turn your keyboard, just say it’s weird. There’s no need to propagate stigmatization along with it, just to be “funny”.
It’s just one of those things that people do to make what they’re doing look more complicated than what it actually is, and by that they also look better than what they are
People used vertical keyboards when they didn’t have enough desk space at tournaments. Nobody is claiming a vertical keyboard to be better if you have the desk space to place it normally
Nah bro, this is just a classic case of "look how different and special I am"
I feel people who flip their keyboards have already gotten so used to how they play on it. They basically adjust after they figure out their layout, I believe.
this comes from the old lan parties when you didn't have space to put your keyboard all the way horizontally.
I just started doing this and realized the purpose of something like a TKL. Its for sure a personal thing but best way I can explain it, is it’s like stance as in for example boxing.
Next is the keyboard gonna be tilted upside down on the floor 😂
I paid for the whole keyboard I’m going to use the whole keyboard.
I tried this for 1 hour and my kd dropped by like 300% and my wrist still hurts lol
I heard it’s because back at old school LANs there wasn’t enough space of the desks for everybody to play horizontally, so some had to switch to vertical. I’m assuming more new gen players are copying it just because they saw older pros do it.
Sure like a little bit of tilt is completely fine and better than full horizontal in my opinion but full on vertical is just madness 💀
Upside down is cursed but the tilted thingy IS REALLY USEFUL bro😅😂
If you can reach it when it's tilted you can reach it when not.
Dude is gonna freak out when he will discover that some ppl put their monitors right in their face
I've heard some pros say, that it is because when they were younger, the lan house had a table too small for the keyboard to fit in, so they had to turn it vertically.
Upside down keyboards are so cursed. But the only cursed thing that people try to do is doing Left handed mouse and it is so uncomfortable. You literally have to change your setup to be able to do it correctly.
Bros gonna hate to see my upside down keyboard setup💀
I just change my keybinds from WASD to IJKL so my hand is on the left side of my keyboard and I can move it farther to the left without having to lean over to it
I feel like tilting your keyboard anywhere over 45 degrees is either a wrist fracture or carpel tunnel 😂
"i can reach more" dude it's still same.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that shroud draws stars from the bottom in reverse.
I can confirm that once you tilt ur keyboard there is no going back 😭😭
Meanwhile...... Alexa! Turn keyboard function to Inverted controll !😂

Buddy of mine played inverted up/down mouse movement back when Quake3 was big. Freaky, any time you tried it it was more like a drunk person would aim. 😂
That one computer shop where no room for your mouse to hover
my hands are dying when its straight
Bro I write with my book like that in school
I've been playing like that since I started playing games. And I swear that is a lot more comfortable and easier to reach buttons.
bro said my GYOD dude.
There was only a few pros that had their keyboards tilted, they were mainly russian players, the thing about this is that computer clubs didn't have a lot of personal space, so if you had your keyboards tilted, you'd get much more room for your mouse, it was just a preference to the players that grew up in those pc clubs, every other player thought it gave them some advantage so they just followed along, nowadays there's no advantage to anything, just play like you play, don't have to copy what other people are doing
"My preciousss" ah keyboard placement
Reminds me of those freaks who write with their left hands AND they tilt their notebook
There's something to this? Yeah, carpal tunnel
