Ho-Oh November 8th, 2009 11:25 PM

Where is your hand when you are using the computer?
 
This sounds really dirty, BUT, I mean... okay, when you're using the mouse and not typing, where is your other hand positioned? And I swear, you better not take the dirty route to this question. D< (Note: this only applies when sitting.)

For me, my hand/arm is pointing upwards above my head... not even resting on the keyboard. XD;

Misheard Whisper November 8th, 2009 11:31 PM

o_o

What.

Um, it's fiddling with the headphone jack on my laptop. idk.

Swift! November 8th, 2009 11:33 PM

Either on my right thigh, with my elbow on my left thigh. Or, under my chin. :D

digi-kun November 9th, 2009 1:05 AM

being the lazy bundle of awesome I am, it's just hanging down cuz it takes little to no effort. Or it's up by the keyboard preparing to alt+tab (in various implications)

Hiidoran November 9th, 2009 2:03 AM

It's usually just resting next to the keyboard or playing with the overhead metal bars that make up my loft. I don't really know what else to do with the lanky thing; it's not good for doing much more than fiddling with things while I lurk.

What? xDD;

My right hand is on the mouse and I am resting my head on my hand with my chin in my palm. I look very smarty. : 3

>Feelings< November 9th, 2009 4:02 AM

I got two computers set in different position. When I use the first one, my right hand is positioned on the mouse with the elbow resting on the right handle of the chair, and my left hand is near the keyboard, ready to type, and the left elbow is resting on the left handle of the chair.
When I use the one in my room which I'm really comfortable using, my right hand is on the mouse, and my left hand is nearer the keyboard, but both are somewhat resting on my lap. It's comfortable.

donavannj November 9th, 2009 6:57 AM

My non-mouse hand is usually a headrest for me, when I'm not typing. Or it's hovering over the keyboard... depends on how I'm sitting.

Zeta Sukuna November 9th, 2009 7:00 AM

Either resting on my side, holding my head up, or hanging down. It depends on how I feel.

Miz en Scène November 9th, 2009 7:07 AM

Fiddling with the headphone Jack or playing with the Mouse/Keyboard. XD

Melody November 9th, 2009 7:09 AM

Usually my right hand is on the mouse, or at least on the table, unless I'm typing.

My left hand remains free to do whatever I feel like doing. XD

Michii November 9th, 2009 10:20 AM

My elbow is on my computer desk and my hand is usually right near my head, supporting my head, or twirling my hair. When I first read the thread title, my hand was on my eyebrow. Oh, and when I'm in a post and thinking of what to type, it rests on my left knee, which is up near my chest (feet on chair).

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ November 9th, 2009 10:47 AM

I control the keyboard and touch pad (laptop, don't have mouse) with my right. I use the left for typing and usually rest it on the table when I'm not typing. If I'm drinking something at the same time I'm on the computer, it's in the left hand.

Eucliffe November 9th, 2009 10:48 AM

Pretty much my left hand is over that thing that allows you to scroll up and down without a mouse (I still need to bug mom about getting me a cordless mouse :X) and my right hand, until ready to type, is in the air with my elbow on my laptop.

With the desktop I use, my left hand is on the keyboard and my right on the mouse.

Something like that.

Anywho.
Normally on the keyboard or supporting my head if I am leaning on the desk -_____-

Alexithymia~ November 9th, 2009 10:54 AM

I have a laptop so my right hand is normally resting on the touchpad and my left hand is either:
  • Keeping warm under my knee
  • Twirling my hair
  • Holding my chin up
  • Playing with my headphones
Tada~

Ineffable~ November 9th, 2009 11:05 AM

I love this question! ^_^

When on a desktop computer (like right now) I tend to lean forward with my elbow on my left thigh and my fist on my right thigh. But sometimes I rest my chin on my hand with my elbow on the desk. :3

On a laptop on my bed (most common) I have three different positions:

1.) Lying sideways.
2.) Cross-legged.
3.) Lying across my bed facing the computer.

With a trackpad, I often rest both hands on the base of the computer; one hand moves the mouse while the other clicks. My fingers switch positions depending on right or left click, though sometimes I just use the left-click finger to right-click quickly. I usually have my left finger resting on the trackpad and my right finger on the left-click button (which is actually on the right since my trackpad is left-handed). :3

Tater Tot November 9th, 2009 12:15 PM

LOLOLOL

Umm... holding the laptop and keeping it in one place, I suppose..? I'll pay more attention next time. XD

Sammi November 9th, 2009 12:51 PM

My right hand is on my mouse at all times and my left hand is usually supporting my chin. It's a somewhat comfortable position, since I don't actually have a proper desk right now.

NeonMewtwo November 9th, 2009 1:36 PM

It's usually near the touchpad of my laptop, or on the keyboard.

Nick November 9th, 2009 1:41 PM

I just woke up from a nap. When I'm tired, I usually support my head because I haven't the energy to do it myself. When I'm not tired, It's usually doing the same thing. So.... :>

SonicThrust November 9th, 2009 2:28 PM

I don't usually do the same thing with it. I changed positions like 5 times just reading this thread...I guess on my lap would be the most common answer for me?

Charizard★ November 9th, 2009 2:53 PM

umm....on the keyboard? lol idk where else

Legobricks November 9th, 2009 3:02 PM

I holds me pint glass.

Ayselipera November 9th, 2009 3:18 PM

Well my right hand is on the mouse and my left hand is usually on the computer desk. Ocassionally I rest my hand on my leg. Innocently of course.

Taemin November 9th, 2009 5:20 PM

My right hand is on the mouse, almost constantly unless I'm typing..

aaaand, I normally always rest my head on my left hand for support. Occasionally I'll rest it on the keyboard, but that's pretty rare.

Cheesymitten November 10th, 2009 8:56 AM

My left hand would be throwing a stress ball at a wall or twirling aplectrum round in thy fingers..

Binary November 10th, 2009 9:26 AM

My right on the mouse
and my left scratching my back XDDD
My left is usually on the keyboard or sometimes resting on my leg...

Bay November 10th, 2009 10:27 AM

Depends what I'm doing, really (no, not dirty joke :<). If I'm browsing PC, usually my left hand is on my chin. If I'm doing an essay or any other assignment, it's flipping the pages of the book or I use my fingers to find a specific point in a page. XD

Guy November 10th, 2009 12:29 PM

Most of the time my right hand is the one occupying the mouse, while my left hand is either propping my head up from under my chin or beside my face. At other times, while just browsing the internet or just the computer in general, I'm fiddling with my hair out of natural habit. Only rarely do I ever rest it upon the keyboard or my lap.

mondays suck November 10th, 2009 12:32 PM

While the right hand is always either on the mouse or the keybord, the left hand is mostly lying somewhere on the table, as long as i don't need it for typing.

Kogenta November 10th, 2009 12:42 PM

Sometimes my right hand is navigating on the computer while my left hand supports my head. At other times, my right hand is on my laptop's touchpad while my left hand clicks/is on the keyboard.

My back started itching when I read that. THANKS FOR THAT T_T

*scratches*

My other hand is usually in my lap (don't....just don't) or holding a drink, resting near the computer ready to type, holding my head up when I'm bored/tired, or covering my mouth when I say "OMG NO U DIDUNT LAWL!!!"

MarstheCar November 10th, 2009 1:44 PM

Right hand on mouse, left hand itching my head.

Rokusasu November 10th, 2009 1:45 PM

I'm on my laptop, and usually use two hands for the touch pad- left for the arrow, right for clicking.

Soul Eater November 10th, 2009 2:11 PM

My right hand is on my mouse but with my left hand, I tend to fidget with the pendants on my necklace (One is a twin dragon sword pendant from the renissaince festival I went to last year and the other is a medical tag). Or at other times its holding my Axel plushie... it really depends. XD

Anxiety. November 10th, 2009 3:06 PM

Take a guess 8D

Uh, on the keyboard, on the desk, in my mouth (I chew the skin around my fingers), on my head, or as a seat for my chin.

Honest November 10th, 2009 3:55 PM

You'll see my left hand resting my head 99% of the time. The other 1 percent... meh, I don't know, maybe on my DS. xD

Lucariotoes November 13th, 2009 7:50 AM

Usually near the mouse for me.

♣Gawain♣ November 13th, 2009 8:49 AM

Either in the side of me, or holding a book. Mainly for reference.

Kung Fu Quagsire! November 13th, 2009 4:16 PM

When I'm not typing? I chew my fingernails. I know it's bad and I really should stop, but my anxiety problems kick in if I don't. D:

yaminokaitou November 17th, 2009 7:34 AM

It's sitting next to the keyboard, ready to type.

Pokepal17 November 18th, 2009 5:35 PM

My left arm on my left knee or my left hand is holding a piece of food. :P

Samme! November 18th, 2009 5:38 PM

While my right hand is on the trackpad, my left hand is usually just resting beside ir, but I also have this nervous itch which results in me scratching my head or back XD;;

THIRTY-SIX November 18th, 2009 11:33 PM

On my stomach or near it when using the mouse. While typing with my left my right is near the penis or thigh. I'm usually sitting on my lower back.

Skip Class November 19th, 2009 10:52 AM

My right is on the Mouse unless I am typing then I'll use both hands

Code November 19th, 2009 10:57 AM

Hmmm....How to make this not sound perverted....This'll be hard! XDDDD
I usually have water or Coca cola or some other refreshments in my other hand. XD

Pokeyomom November 19th, 2009 11:22 AM

Usually it is everywhere. I am a very restless person:D But on my left leg usually (if i'm jsut surfing about).
