I'm referring to a callus on the inside of your wrist (right hand or left hand).

Im wondering why would a person have a callus by too much wrist movement if its your wrist that is suppose to have this callus. Sounds more like something for people that chronically masturbate.

I would think that it is something like your fingers that would have this callus since there is actually friction. My wrists stay in place when i play o.o

I think it also depends on the way you grip you mouse... I palm so there's a lot more contact.

I have horrible wrist positioning, sliding it on the corner of my desk, so I wouldn't be surprised if I did, but nope, doesn't look like it. Been meaning to get a cushion for my wrist because it feels like I have carpal tunnel incoming lol.

mind = blown. i always had a callus there on my wrist and i would never know what it was from.
I dont have it anymore, it must have been that ultra-super-low sensitivity for counter strike i played, causing my hand to dart across the mousepad!

Explain to me how you get a callus on your wrist? Do you rest your wrist on the table while moving the mouse? Your wrists should be raised.

The skin there is different, but it's certainly not a callus. My sensitivity (since that also seems to be an issue) is low, but I still need only small motions.

My keyboard + mouse is pushed back a little, so my forearm rests on the edge of the table. No calluses for me!

Nope.

I do have RSI in the index finger of my left hand though.

I'm an electrical engineer doing IC design, so I have to use a mouse all day to make schematics and stuff. Coming home and turning on SC2 is really NOT helping

I used to, and I wore it as a badge of pride. Changing mousepad got rid of it after a few months though... I miss you callus!

Haha I have this, but not as much as when I gamed a bunch.
Used to compete with my buddies, it was something to be proud of

Flash had something on his left hand from practicing too much, but I remember I didn't understand how it got there.
