Weird question: PC gamers, is your keyboard slanted or flat?

I was recently watching Tek Syndicate's review video of the CM Storm QuickFire Rapid-i and Logan (the reviewer) said he preferred his keyboards flat, not slanted. I've always had my keyboards slanted, and never thought of using them flat. I'm trying it out right now, and while I'm not used to it yet, it's a pretty different experience, in my opinion, anyway.

How do you guys lay your keyboards?

Oh, another Tek Syndicate fan? *offers secret handshake*

I prefer it slanted. I type faster and make less mistakes.

Also slanted.

We're going to overclock this machine until it hertz. *Sunglasses on* Until it megahertz.

Slanted. I do a lot of typing (Next to gaming. :p) and the angles just feels better on the wrists.

Slanted, but just with the regular feet. My keyboard tray is just the normal totally parallel to the floor style.

I have mine slanted, I find it feels easier to use the keys when they are pointed slightly towards you.

Do you mean like a standard "flat" keyboard compared to an ergonomic keyboard, or a standard keyboard that angles toward you instead of flat on the desk? I use a standard keyboard that angles toward me. It feels more natural than moving my hands and wrists up to the "proper" typing position.

Well this being a laptop it normally would be flat. BUT due to the cooling working allot better if I put a pack of cards under it, yes this laptop is getting older sadly, it is slanted. Seems that forcing air to blow under the laptop really improves cooling.

Flat. But only because the little legs broke off. :p

I remember one of my old keyboard's little leg thing broke and I had to use it flat, and it was the worst experience I've ever had. I could only stand a week before I got a new keyboard.

Needless to say, Slanted all the way.

Flat but I have an odd setup anyway. I'm kind of jacked up, keyboard is in a drawer, mouse sits above the KB drawer... but yeah its flat, always has been. Hated slanted for some reason.
I miss my ergonomic tho..

:) looks so pretty! Flat, legs broke off, im cheap.
Yeah, this keyboard wins on the "looks awesome" scale, plus it has a whole bunch of nifty features; most of which I don't use XD


Another bonus, sense SteelSeries is all about durability, this keyboard doesn't have any legs that can break off. It has these knob thingies on the bottom, which you can add to or take away to increase the tilt angle. Mine is at default.

I was in a similar situation but I chose the "prop my keyboard up on an assortment of random crap" route.

Although I do use my laptop's keyboard flat, but that's probably because it's flush with the casing that I prop my wrists on so it's the same angle as having a slanted desktop keyboard.
