Arm aim: Chair height (Question for Pros)

Discussion

This is a question for those of you that go to LAN tournaments, Pros or those that play competitive at PC bangs ect...

For arm aimers, is there a methodical way that you adjust to a comfortable set-up with your perfect chair/desk height ratio so your aim is as consistent as you were at home?

Now I'm no pro so I could be 100% wrong on the matter so please forgive me...

Adjustable arms on your chair?

A lot of people don't use the armrests even if they have them at their home computer because if they go to a LAN without chairs with adjustable armrests, they wouldn't aim consistently.

I was just wondering if people that travel have a technique at a new desk to keep their arm aim consistent

Is it normal to play using armrests? Because don't the armrests get in the way of your chair sliding under the desk

I unscrewed armrests. Never used them.

Same, the reason for doing that Is that they weren't adjustable in hight, so I couldnt sit close to my desk because the armrests couldn't fit under it.

As someone who competes at lan

I actually don’t use my armrests at lan or at my own setup. I rest my entire arm on the desk when I play.

Do you have a way of knowing the perfect height of your chair so your aim is always on point. For me if my chair is too high i get develop terrible neck/shoulder pain + my aim suffers, chair too low i can't 180 comfortably.

Was intrigued if some players have some adjustment technique when sitting at a new desk so they're consistent

The thing about lan is that no two setups are ever the same, so you have to do your best with what you’re given, I tend to raise the chair as much as possible to be as close to the arm position I’m used to, but you’re never going to get it perfect

Not a pro but I know most arm aimers slide their chair under their desk so their arms rests on the top of the desk.

How often are you actually playing on LAN though?

Am I the only one using armrests ? 1/3rd fit under my desk and I rest my arms on the rest...

I'm not a pro, but I try to follow this photo

That's how I do any of my setups and it's what I'm used to.
