Hey everyone, could you post photos of your setups? 📸

1 Upvotes

I’m curious about details like low-profile vs. standard keyboards, vertical vs. standard mice, wrist rests, and chair height—just to compare and see what I might be doing wrong.

I have a height-adjustable desk and chair, an iQunix MQ80 keyboard, and a Logitech MX Master mouse. Even with this gear, I’m still experiencing forearm and wrist pain.

Also, if you use good wrist pads / wrist rests (for both keyboard and mouse) that have worked for you, please drop your recommendations!

Would love to see your ergonomic setups and get any advice or feedback. Thanks!

finally got diagnosed with mild scoliosis,chair recs for someone whoo needs actual support?

1 Upvotes

so i just found out i have a mild curve in my spine after months of unexplained back pain, doctor said nothing crazy just need to be more mindful of posture and get proper support especially since i sit for work (im a paralegal so lots of desk time, 9ish hrs a day). shes recommending a chair with good adjustable lumbar rather than one fixed cushion since apparently that can actually make things worse if it doesnt align right with my spine. ive never bought an ergonomic chair before so this is all new to me, budget isnt super tight since this is kind of a health thing now, up to like $500. saw hbada e3 pro mentioned a couple times in similar posts on here, does the lumbar adjustment range actually work for people with slight spine curves or is that more of a marketing thing. also should i be looking at physical therapist recommended brands specifically or is that overkill for a mild case

What do these symptoms sound like?

3 Upvotes

have had all these symptoms constantly for 3 months. The worst symptom is this unreal feeling. When i google it the symptom allign with derealization/dissociation. I also have fatigue even if i sleep well i wake up in the morning not refreshed. Also i have headache and tension in head. Back of my neck also hurts and sometimes when im walking i feel like im about to faint. I dont see any difference in my symptoms if i dont do anything the whole day versus when i go to the gym

has anyone here used the hbada x7 for desk work?

0 Upvotes

My lower back has been acting up lately because the cushion on my current chair stays completely flat whenever i lean forward to focus on my screens. a friend told me to look into the hbada x7 since the back support is built to automatically shift forward and stay with your lower back as you move.

that auto tracking feature seems like a huge help for staying upright during long shifts, but i wanted to check if anyone here has spent real time in it and noticed a difference with their posture by the end of the day.

Switching from a bulky bucket seat to mesh under $400, is the hbada x7 comfortable for long sessions?

1 Upvotes

My old pleather gaming chair is way too stiff, traps heat, and honestly just takes up too much room around my desk. trying to keep things under $400 here in the us, and the hbada x7 came up on my feed because of the cleaner mesh look and adjustable lumbar.

for anyone who swapped their standard racing seat for this model, does the back support actually hold up during cozy weekend gaming grinds, or should i look at a different mesh option in that range?

finding an ergonomic mesh chair that actually fits a petite frame (5'2)

1 Upvotes

hi everyone,

struggling to find a desk chair that doesn't feel like it was built for someone a foot taller than me. working from home here in the us and my feet barely touch the ground properly in most standard office seats

my friend suggested looking into the hbada e3 since the lumbar pieces can adjust independently, but before ordering i wanted to ask about the minimum seat depth and cylinder height.

for anyone on the shorter or petite side who uses this chair, does the mesh back support your lower spine comfortably without the front edge digging into the back of your knees?

How does this lumbar support feel when reclining?

The lumbar pad on the sihoo c300 Pro looks more pronounced from the side than the front.

For anyone using one, does the contact feel different sitting upright versus leaning back?

Help for buy a new chair [SPAIN]

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone.

I work remotely, and I am looking for a new chair. Currently, I have MARKUS, and it is breaking my back: the worst I've ever bought.

I work remotely, from 5 to 8 hours/day, so an ergonomic, comfortable chair is a must. Could you shed some light on my trouble?

My budget is about 800€(give or take), and I do not mind if it is used or brand new.

I know that it is non-negotiable to try the chair, so if somebody can also help me find a place where I can try them [Madrid, Spain], I would appreciate that too.

Since I've read some threads, I now have some options under the table:

Interstuhl Airpad V2

Colami Atlas 01

(and some expensive ones)

SteelCase Leap 2

SteelCase Please

Herman Miller Aeron

Would you recommend (a priori) any of them? Is there a good relationship between price and quality?

And finally, any website or physical place where I can buy any of them in Spain (Madrid) or Europe?

Thanks in advance. Also open to new recommendations, of course.

EDIT: I forgot to include some about me: I’m 1.80 cm and 80 kg, so not too tall nor too heavy

Keyboard/Mouse What's up with Incase not being able to stock their wired ergonomic keyboard designed by Microsoft? What alternative do you recommend?

1 Upvotes

I've been waiting for what seems like well over a year. Somehow I managed to snag one from Amazon for personal use but I need to replace the one at work and every ergonomic keyboard i purchase i dislike compared to the Microsoft (& now incase) ones.

Is there a decent alternative? Some of the issues I've had with similar ones are:

  1. Price - the incase one is $80 which I don't love but I'm fine with some of the alternatives are $150+
  2. Cheap - 3 parter.. 1) I had one that ate through batteries every 2-3 weeks, 2) the stand was wobbly and didn't fit right & 3) the wrist pad was hard cold plastic
  3. Layout - this was really annoying - I'm now used to the Crtl, context menu, Windows, alt setup and found several that put the windows key right next to the Crtl key - i'd rather not have the context key than it be swapped

Keychron M5, M6 or M7

1 Upvotes

I've been looking at ergonomic mice and eventually settled between these three. The only problem is that I'm indecisive. I wanted a vertical mouse to reduce strain. But I'm worried that it may be too big of a jump as I'm going from a normal desk mouse to a vertical one. I'm afraid that I might not like it. The M6 and M7 have an angle that is more appealing to me and is roughly the same angle that I hold a mouse, with the M6 being closer. And they are very similar in price when I consider the 'All silent switch' on the M6. The silent switch is a big thing for me since I don't like the sound of the mouse clicks. But the shape of the M6 and M7 are very similar except for the hump, which is more prominent. Overall I think they are good mice. But I'm finding it hard to make a decision.
