Ergonomics for Long Sessions: Comfort That Prevents Fatigue
Comfort is not luxury. Fatigue changes your precision and ruins consistency. A simple baseline prevents pain and keeps your control stable.
Baseline (Simple)
- Neutral wrist posture: no hard bends while aiming.
- Chair height: elbows near 90 degrees.
- Screen height: neck relaxed, eyes level.
- Breaks: short resets beat one long break.
Why Comfort Changes Feel
- Fatigue slows reaction and increases overshoot.
- Pain changes grip and adds micro-tension.
- Inconsistent posture creates inconsistent sensitivity feel.
Rule: if you want consistent aim, you need consistent comfort.
