I just noticed my keyboard has 2 hinges on the bottom and I'm wondering what position the keyboard is best placed in. I was fine with the down position but im dont know if the up position increases button-pressing performance. What position do you use on your keyboard?

When I'm on a desktop computer I usually like them to be up.

If your keyboard is laying flat, you're doing it wrong.

I usually use a laptop but when I do use a desktop keyboard I tend to have hinges up or whatever the equivalent is.

Up. Easier to play computer games with it up. I also have a fan that goes under my laptop that elevates my laptop keyboard.

Well, one of mine broke, so I just keep it down or pressing the left side of the keyboard will flip it.

One of them always breaks off, so pretty much all of my keyboards end up being down.

Down, up...it's all the same to me. Sometimes my hands just hover when I'm typing.

Down, I like my button presses to be even. But of course it depends on what chair you have, where your keyboard is etc.
