No tilt... no type.

Hmm... seems like a textbook case of nontilteritis.Quote:

Definately tilted. Maaan. Flat. That's crazy....
My rage at this subject got too much for me, this post needs deleting. I have posted a more subdued response below.
Whats this about people not tilting??? The world never ceases to amaze me. Thats what the feet are there for, why pay for feet you arent going to use!
It's a bugger when you lose one of the feet - that causes a serious tilt!
Yes it is :P. And i have to tilt to type.
Its the same for me which i why i hate that in half of my computing lessons we have to use laptops with their flat keyboards. (i have a real thing against using laptops as serious computers)Quote:

c'mon, there must be someone else that likes flatties?
I always tilt any keyboard I type with, its so much better to type, I have a Microsoft elite pro keyboard anyway so it comes with a nice wrist rest to help with RSI.
I tilt & I'm proud!
Proud member of the "say no to tilting" campaign.
I sit with my elbows and forearms resting on the desk and hands sitting on the keyboard, if it was tilted I would have aching wrists within minutes.
Pinball machines don't like it, and neither do I! :)
Flat for me! My Logitech Interner Navigator thingy is designed to be pretty flat anyway. Much flatter than my Dell keyboard at work and that isn't tilted, it's just higher!
Tilting is a way of life.. ;)

Same here - the Logitech keyboard sits nice and flat. It's the only way to go!Quote:

I tilt, but one of the legs fell off, so I have to flat now. It's horrible.
Laptops, they're a different matter, I like them flat - I knew someone who had legs on his laptop, it was horrible.
There really should be an option saying "I would tilt but one day i got annoyed when my pc crashed at the wrong time, and the keyboard took the brunt of my frustration and now i'm forced to go flat" or something shorter to that effect. for i am one of those, although i'd tilt if i had a choice.
Only one problem with tilting though, your pens always disappear under the keyboard. :rant:
Nah, I find it more comfortable when they're flat, whatever science says. If I tilt them, my wrists hurt after a few hours.Quote:

Some keyboards like the one I use at work I have to tilt to make it comfortable. My Cherry that I'm using as I write this I don't tilt.
Vive et Vivas!
It tilts and I like it. Would prefer if it floated.
It hurts if its flat, but it's still usable.
Hell no. Tilt = t3h bad. I find it hurts less.

I can't decide whether I tilt or not... as my keyboard is at a naturally tilted angle! Don't use the feet
Unless you use your keyboard like a typewriter you really shouldn't use the feet, they hurt your wrists if you do as they are permanently at a dodgy angle. If you do one fingered typing then yeah, ok - not going to make much difference but if you leave your wrists on the table then its a bad idea.
Actually, I too have my elbows and forearms flat on the desk, and I use my keyboard tilted, with no pains or aches or anything like that. Have done so for over a year now (Programmer, 8 to 5, 5 days a week). My home setup is also tilted, though I have a chair with armrests and a slightly higher desk, so my wrists are effectively unbent.Quote:
