Keyboard placement?

I've noticed that while playing, I often find my keyboard to be in a position that feels really awkward. Prompting me to move it mid-game, and thus, causing me to mess up. I don't know if this is some OCD thing or not, does anyone else have this problem? Also, in general, where do you place your keyboard? (Distance wise, angle, etc..)

i never really had any issues with my keyboard moving around when i play taiko, probably because i keep both hands on it. i did have some issues in standard with my keyboard sliding around, but that's probably more due to my table/desk setup (and the fact that i use my left hand on numpad so the whole left part of my keyboard just slides around if i move too fast).

if your keyboard position changing is becoming an issue, you can try putting something underneath it that will increase friction and make it less likely to slide around than just being on a desk surface.

I had somehow developed this weird tick where I would ever so slightly adjust the position of my keyboard with my pinky every minute or so. No idea how that happened. It was distracting and didn't actually do anything but I couldn't stop. Well, changing my key layout so that my pinky couldn't realistically reach the edge of the keyboard anymore stopped it real quick.

Never tried that, I had never assumed that my keyboard had been sliding. Will try this

This is pretty much what I'm talking about, except I use my whole hand to adjust my keyboard. It's veeery inconvenient :|
