@@coolingchips1410 Usually artisan pads last somewhere between 6 to 12 months, but that also depends on which pad for instance their Hein lasts longer than their other pads, a lot of people reported that there Zero has gotten muddier after a years use, so we are assuming thats similar to the Type99 since both are control pads.

hey man i am in a bit of a slump for the past month can you focus your next vid on that? i think people will be educated and helped if you make avid abt it thanks !
Implemented different alignments long ago and figured out ergonomics were number 1 factor for comfort and consistency. Now after 3-10 minutes sitting is perfected!
This is video was incredibly well made and insightful. I was thinking this was a channel with a couple 100k subs but was shocked. Keep up the amazing content, subbed!
This video got me from silver 2 to plat 1.... i wasn't sitting correctly.... and had no consistancy i'd drop 30 kills one game on Valorant next i'd be lucky to not bottom frag. Thank you for this video the big part i was missing was actually having my keyboard closer to my mouse. I had to adjust my aim a tad but overall im playing so much better. Under rated channel here. Cant wait to see u blow up.
10/10 video, I was watching through to send it to a noober friend and we use the same gear and literally use the same approximative techniques to setup ourselves, was suprirsed to see you recommend the fist under the monitor thing :)
Great video, it's interesting to see that every pro has good or bad form of aiming and that you don't need to be close to your monitor to be a good player.
My big issue is i thought when playing knb i had to use my chairs elbow resters. Even tho ive been doing it for years i felt that they always mess up my consistent aim. I see that you dont use them at all and rest your arm in the table itself with a healthy angle. This is a change I have to try and see! Thanks for the video! Even after years of playing also at high level of competitive gaming i still find ergonomics hard to stick with. And end up blaming my sens for it. Thanks again!
I never really watched or thought about aim form when playing games but after seeing this I realized going through different gear with different placement of them(form) the past 10 years (not intentionally but because all gears are shaped different, including desk and chair) what I stick to now is surprisingly similar to the setup you have. Thumbs up for going through the research and having it explained. Would've been nice if you made this video for me 10 years ago, so I didn't have to go through 10 years to find my ideal form 😂
My personal problem with my setup is my table's height, that cannot be changed, it's one of those ikea with the drawers, it just feel weird when im at home gaming, unlike the table at my office. I see myself rising my chair a lot for it to feel similiar, but then comes the problem where my feet aren't touching the floor, wich people say is bad posture... Also this is a really well made video, you deserve more subs and views Oblivity, much love.
So one thing we can suggest is getting a footrest in this case, this will completely support your posture as well as give you a bit more freedom to adjust. There are options where the footrest is height adjustable.
you can buy ikea table with legs that you twist and change height, though they are really tedious, and takes time to get exact same, but you can also use them normally, and its pretty low, OLOV adjustable legs, every toher electric desk is still too high, there might be a few rare ones that go really low, but they expensive
Yep i know now why i have shoulders fatigue and why i couldn’t aim up bec simply i was leaning forward on the desk and now i need to change chairs bec mine doesnt go lower enough but hopefully it will help the neck/shoulder and back fatigue hope so 😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
all this information doesnt matter if you dont have a control monitor size. not everyone uses the same monitor size! thus the distance and fist for height is irrelevant
been having troubles with my chair height. having it higher gives me neck pain and lower feels like my arms are sticking to the table/mousepad a lot when doing larger flicks. Gonna take some time to find a good balance in between now that I know the neckpain comes from the chair being too high and me leaning forwards. I thought I was just too used to having the chair too low and this new "good" posture would just take time to get used to. Ill play around with it and hopefully will find a working solution :D Great video!
Yeah bro i have the same issue everybody was saying to have chair height a little bit higher to have neutral shoulders position but i just cant adjust and the shoulders/neck and back fatigue is unbearable and now i need to change chairs bec mines doesnt go down bec i changed the chair lift 😂😂
So lowering the chair made me able to control better but then I am naturally moving my arm away from my body because I m unable to do make long flicks or rotate 180 when in this position.
fatigue is a factor as to why pros tilt their keyboards. asides from getting more space, tilting the keyboard helps you reach control key for crouching more easily. - your average crouch enjoyer
this was super helpfup i think the only thing that i struggle with is my chair was p cheap and im on the smaller side so i cannot comfortably sit up straight in my chair and be close enough because it is not adjustable
my desk has no space like yours does, mine is a wooden table that only has space in the middle, the right side and the left side are cabinets (connected together)
I can't adjust my monitor to a comfortable distance because the monitor stand is shaped like a triangle, that's almost as wide as my monitor, so i have to put my monitor on my mousepad which means that when i flick i hit my mouse against the monitor stand, and when my mouse hits the monitor stand it usually disconnects. Also I can't get a monitor stand because my monitor has a stand that allows me to just click the monitor into the stand, without any screws, and it also doesnt support any other monitor stands.
My arm feels hard to move, but if i try to increase the chair height my arm starts to kinda float and it becomes exhausting really fast. I'm using an arm sleeve and Artisan Zero Mid mousepad. My pad is far back so only my wrist is on it because if i put my arm on the mousepad it's practically impossible to move at all
I do not understand how not having your monitor centered vertically would be beneficial. Or maybe a bit lower to better see the higher part of the screen, as most things happen there
my problem is that i have a monitor that i cant change the angle of , the desk is too high , the chair is not a not adjustable , my keyboard isnt consistent , W and Shift dont always work , and bad mouse ( my monito is 900p 60hz tn with shit colors ) whats my solution
If your chair isn't able to scoot in to give you the correct monitor distance length, then we suggest the following 2 solutions: 1 - Bring in the setup closer, if that doesn't allow you to have a good arm placement though move on to the 2nd solution. 2 - Add something to support your back on your chair, i.e a pillow, this will make your seating more comfortable aswell as it will bring you forward.
@1:04 Are those monitor tilt angles on their monitors real or just assumptions? I've always used a 19 degree angle (as of last 2 years). @5:40 I always found myself leaning forward and I always thought it was cause i had my monitor too far but this whole time it mightve been because my chair height is too high. Great video.
this actually helped me getting a bit more comfortable to play but i got a problem with my keyboard and my monitor front of my keyboard is touching my monitor feet should i buy table mount?
I have somewhat controversial opinion on keyboard positions. I have pretty unique wrist genetics, so for me the inward tilted keyboard cause a lot of fatigue and inacuracy with pressing buttons on timing, so I do the exact opposit. I put my keyboard quite far from my mousepad and tilt it outwards. It provides me with really comfortable position for wrist and arm as a whole. But it's probably only working on me because unique genetics. I have the same problems with "relaxed" claw grips, for me they're more agressive and uncomfortable then classic "agressive" claw grips. But both are not ideal, so it's only choise between unstable ftip, which is fun for me, and really stable palm grip, which is no fun for me
@Oblivity how much exactly you tilt your screen ? if you put measure app from iPhone on screen on the long ege of the phone whats your tilt ? -10 or -15 ?? or what ??
Do monitor light bars help even if I already have an overhead light in my room? I don't get it, how would it help me with eye strain when its function is to illuminate the desk space? I'm trying to decide whether it's worth it to get one.
Multiple things, first, not every light bar works, you want one with certain technologies. For example, the best one from our testing, is the BenQ lightbars, you want one with an asymmetrical optical design to reduce glaring from the monitoring, also one that produces flicker-free lighting -- and most importantly one that has low blue light technology which is damaging to eyes. Illuminating your room with your overall lighting does help. But lightbars are specifically made for people who sit in-front of monitors all day.
Let us know what issues you face with your ergonomics!
so what's the life of a mousepad without an arm sleeve? (i have a "new" artisan type 99)
@@coolingchips1410 Usually artisan pads last somewhere between 6 to 12 months, but that also depends on which pad for instance their Hein lasts longer than their other pads, a lot of people reported that there Zero has gotten muddier after a years use, so we are assuming thats similar to the Type99 since both are control pads.
However, Artisan themselves suggest changed pads every 3 months, which we believe is a bit extreme.
I feel like you missed out on monitor size. The optimal distance depends on the size of your display. An elbow's length wont work out for everyone.
@@oblivityofficial that's quite low..
what about the esptiger tangdao poron?

By far the most helpful fps setup video I've ever seen. Deserves much more attention
I have been struggling with this forever, thanks for the help
Man this is such a goated video , Thank You for the info mate much appreciated.
This is the exact video i was looking for. I made my setup from scratch and my friend suggested me to go for a monitor arm, best decision in my life
Great editing my man! Really stands out

It’s hard to find smaller (or medium size called before) mousepads recently if you’re small desk users.

yo this guide is fucking crazy, i havent played for a week now so i was obviously shit but right after i did this i got mvp every match it was crazy
finally waited a long time
my desk has no space like yours does, mine is a wooden table that only has space in the middle, the right side and the left side are cabinets (connected together)
really great video
Very well made video
Great video
The best form of aiming is comfortably as long as your comfortable you feel limitless
Can you do a more in depth video about chair and desk height I’m struggling alittle
Great video.
this guy makes some kick ass interesting videos
hey man, great video, where can i find that app off eye and wrist stretching?
I can't adjust my monitor to a comfortable distance because the monitor stand is shaped like a triangle, that's almost as wide as my monitor, so i have to put my monitor on my mousepad which means that when i flick i hit my mouse against the monitor stand, and when my mouse hits the monitor stand it usually disconnects. Also I can't get a monitor stand because my monitor has a stand that allows me to just click the monitor into the stand, without any screws, and it also doesnt support any other monitor stands.
I have disgustingly long arms so hearing the "arms length monitor distance" not being the best made me giggle
Good video!
gained a sub because it worked, went from p3 to immo1 in 2 weeks haha
Wait, really?

top 70 in league... i feel for your mental. nice vid
How much difference in distance do you think a 27” monitor would need?

I kinda have a small desk so i just keep my little part of monitor stand on the mousepad.

My chair doesnt fit below the desk and its not because of height, but because of width.
If your chair isn't able to scoot in to give you the correct monitor distance length, then we suggest the following 2 solutions:

Fuck this is fire
I have a desk shelf, even with the monitor on the lowest settings its still about 3 fists taller than the desk, the monitor cant tilt the angle

And for the record i have strong forearm muscles and tendons because i am a rock climber, so it's not the problem with my personal physical form
I feel like my table is a bit height for me its 75 cm but it would be a bit tricky to lower it cause its a diy 4meter long desk
Great video, but here's the thing... I'm playing on a laptop 😅 Any tips to help with that?
@Oblivity how much exactly you tilt your screen ? if you put measure app from iPhone on screen on the long ege of the phone whats your tilt ? -10 or -15 ?? or what ??
