“How on earth do you game with a keyboard that wide? I think it would be painful after awhile to have your arms spread that wide for one hand to be on the keyboard and your other arm way out to the right to be using the mouse. Am I missing something?”

I don't know how short your arms are, but it's only one inch wider than a standard keyboard. Good luck...
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It’s not to much wider then most keyboards that have a keypad. It’s wider because of the g buttons on the left. So shift the keyboard a bit more to left and it’s fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Honestly don't know if this is a real question... You sit (or stand) normally at your desk. I don't fling my arms all over my desk while playing so it has never been a problem. The keyboard sits in front of me with my left hand over the left side and the mouse in my right hand is normal on the mouse. My arms aren't "way out" in either direction. I'm only 5'2" so I certainly don't have super wide arms. You can just slide the keyboard to the side a bit if that's needed and you have the room/need. Or maybe if your on a small desk, something like a TKL might be better for you. That's you call, but it has never once been a hindrance to me.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I will admit that it IS a wide keyboard but I am not a hardcore gamer like that. I would imagine that it would get tedious and tiresome after a while, especially if you have a short or small desk. My mouse is in front of the keyboard and my only issue with that position is that my wrist runs over the volume scroll ever so often. Otherwise, your right arm would have to be flush with the right side of the keyboard to reach the mouse.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It’s not as wide as you think. I tilt mine towards my body so I have some mouse room.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The keyboard measures only 3 inches wider than my laptop and is about the same oversize of standards desktop keyboards. The low profile and lack of need for a wrist rest allow me to use the mouse either at the side or what's more comfortable to me, use the mouse just in front of the keyboard with one hand while the other hand is on the keyboard.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It actually is not an issue at all. my keyboard and mouse are pretty close to each other, and there is no stretching of the sort. In reality it is the most comfortable combination of keyboard and mouse i have used when gaming, and working during my regular day quite frankly.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I personally prefer the keyboard with the 10 digit number pad on the side. I have had the opportunity to review both compact gaming keyboards and the full size boards and the only time I use the smaller keyboard is when I am traveling and think I may want to game while in the hotel. I have experienced no discomfort in even lengthy gaming sessions with this keyboard.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Keys are standard and same as my Corsair
