Flat just doesn't feel right. Yeah ive been trying mine flat but i dont really care for it. I also tend to lean back in my chair so the raised helps that way as well. | ||

For me I tend to lean back so raised helps a bit. But if you sit straight up, i feel flat would be beneficial. | ||

The keyboard just naturally has a triangular shape that gives it the raised profile while still having the whole keyboard bottom flat on the desk. | ||

edit: I raise it if I'm writing a paper or something, feels slightly better for typing but kinda awkward when playing games. | ||

In the Raised vs Flat debate, which one is better on your hands? I heard when played raised, your wrists are more upward, which can lead to a higher chance of carpel tunnel. Is this true? Would that mean playing on a flat surface is better for your wrists? | ||
