Use your other hand? It will feel like a different game!

I use a palmrest, it holds your hand in a comfortable position.

I have had somewhat of a RSI for about 3 years now. Is it Carpal Tunnel, or something else? Maybe I can help. For me, I find that nothing related to changing your environment helps; Switch hands and the RSI will start in the other hand. Get a new mouse, and that won’t help either. The only thing you can do, in my experience, is take long and frequent breaks. Maybe every 30 mins take a 5 min break. (I programmed a program to help with this.) I could be wrong depending on your injury.Explain more.

You are trying to get the bullet master title now?

You idiot.

Numbness, discomfort. Only (stopping using the mouse) shaking the hand vigorously helps for about 2 minutes.

Correction: Bullet is a kind of chess, not masturbation

Bullets don't result in wounds without a gun.

- get your position right in the first place: your hand should be in a natural, relaxed position (not overstretching, weird angle for your wrist, etc)

- while using your hand, is it very tense? Without knowing it you can hold your hand very stressed. Let it rest as often as possible.

- stand up regularly from your computer, shake the body a bit. Loosen up the arms. Do something else.

- while playing on the computer give your hand a rest. In bullet this is hard, but with 15/10 games or even 5/0 you dont have to hold your hand on the mouse continuously.

 

Ive had the numbness feeling a bit some years ago when I worked in an office. I started doing these things and I never had a problem ever since. But I think that is because I found out in time. If you are to late and the RSI/carpal tunnel syndrome is really there then you've got a very annoying problem.


Good luck! Enjoy the good feeling of rest you give to your hand! :)

ummm, how does someone know they play too much on line chess? RSI. No, seriously, it is believed that inbetween movement, squeeze a tennis ball. Somehow it's supposed to change the movement and relieve the pain.

Hey guys! I don't think it's caused because of bullet. A lot of people play thousans of bullets and their hands are ok. For example, me. I have played more than 6.500 bullet games in high level in another site and my hands haven't any problem! Maybe, that you are saying is caused from another reason...

Up to 5 min. games, tense mouse motion adds stress to your hand.
