Raised, when I first got my (rather expensive) keyboard I was like "WTF this is SHIT I have to stand while playing OMGFAGAIWDAWIJDIO" then after thrashing my entire room and shooting up some dope drinking a glass of coke I realized there were feet.

LOL silly me, well, live and learn

A raised keyboard feels comfortable to me. I guess it's because my wrists aren't dangling over an edge or something like that.

Usually raised, but I use my razer black widow flat

I don't mind either flat or raised, but when i lay my keyboard flat, the keys point away from me and it feels awkward to type, so I do raised

Raised keyboards are just really uncomfortable for me. Maybe it's because I've just gotten used to using flat keyboards since computer class in middle school where they said raised keyboards were bad for you.

Anyone else here have a Saitek Cyborg? I have this shit raised to the max. I have two flaps on each side in back, and one flap each side UP FRONT, bitches. I can slide a legal pad under my keyboard, and it feels great like this. I also have a towel wrist-rest, too. But RAISED ALL THE WAY.

For me it depends on the keyboard. I mostly use flat since I have a G15 at home, and it's more comfortable for me when it's not raised.

I have it flat, it's just always the way I played SC, having it raised just feels really wierd to me :S

Flat because I've been used to using a laptop keyboard for the longest time.

Definitely raised, my friend's keyboard lost the little plastic flaps that raise it so every time I gamed at his house I had to use a lighter or something to raise it properly lol.

Flat for sure. It's more stable, and as noted allows you to maintain a more healthy posture to reduce risk of RSI.
