    how old are you and how long did it take to develop? I’ve never hurt my hand while gaming, this “carpal tunnel” buzzword seems like a hoax to me. Should I be scared, and do some preventive mesures, or are some people just immune?

    Also, I game A LOT, and I only experienced exhaustion a couple of timed after a whole day of fps games, no other genre did any strain on me.

      You must not game hard enough. True gamers use a desk thats too tall, a chair thats too short, lack a wrist pad and sut with their arm in a single position only making slight adjustments via the wrist fir hours on end without getting up.

        Your sarcasm has information. I did spend a lot of money on a good ergonomic chair. Not a scam “gaming chair” but a good office one. I guess I’m not a true gamer :( But my mouse is on 3200 dpi, almost only wrist movements.
