|  Wrist pain! I figured this topic should go here, since you fellow gamers have the same problems I do. I've been having some wrist trouble, from playing video games on the PC a lot. It's probably partly my lousy mouse pad, but I wanted to hear how everyone helps lessen the strain on your wrist while playing video games... So, does anybody have any methods or tips on easing wrist strain/pain? I figure it's a combination of my not so good computer chair and my mouse pad... I'm only 18 so I shouldn't be having carpal tunnel problems... at least not yet, lol... |

 |  Re: Wrist pain! What everyone should do, Take regular breaks every hour from the Computer for atleast 15-20 Mins, Thats why you get RSI (Repititive Strain Injury)

| Re: Wrist pain! Hah, I've heard people say take a break every hour or so, but I figured they were just saying that... If it really helps, I'll try to take a break every now and then. Quote:
