By this i mean up to your elbows
Came up with this question was because of hearing RyuK talk about it briefly and I was just wondering what other players' thoughts about it were like

So, how do you place your hands? do you believe this is something that needs to be paid attention to? Also state your tablet area or mouse sensitivities.

Personally, I cant play without putting both my aim and tapping hand on the table. I use a medium-large kinda area where I cant reach every part of my tablet with just my fingers but I also dont want to move my whole arm, So I use my elbow as a pivot to get my hand placement comfortable and consistent. For the tapping hand part, I don't really know why but I guess its what im used to

I use mouse and keys so that kinda goes with the territory.

Even if it doesn't, it's hard from a muscle memory angle to keep it that way because I'll just forget I'm supposed to have it up and lay it on the table/pad anyways.

It is very annoying for my tapping hand, though. I don't know what part of my resting position does it, but playing frequently numbs or, like, irritates it in a way when I play.

yep with both hands. As a mouse player, I don't use my forearms to aim, but with my wrists. That way, I can't comfortably place my forearms on the table without and hinderance towards my aim. Besides forearms on table are pretty comfy.

The maximum is wrists on table, it feels weird putting anything more for me

i put a very small section of my aiming forearm on the edge of the table, and aim with the wrist and fingers
as for tapping, i put my whole forearm on the table (although for long streams i raise my forearm up and keep my elbow on the table)

wait, you guys put your hand on the table???

I thought only having wrist on the table was the common thing people do...

with my tapping hand I only put my wrist on the table, and with my aiming hand I dont even have it on the table, I just hover it above my tablet.
