Why do Pros TILT their keyboard?

There are pros out there - or sick freaks, as we like to call them - who tilt their keyboards to a degree that is, quite frankly, unacceptable.
To a more untrained eye, this looks ridiculous and painful.
But, apparently, some people swear by tilted keyboard setups.

The thing about symphuny’s upside down keyboard is that there is no advantage of saving space or reaching keys easier, it’s just a fun way to break your wrist.
-
Man's gonna freak out when he hears about 60% keyboards.
-
I do tilt my keyboard a little bit but completely vertical is crazy 💀
-
That’s nothing. I play with my keyboard glued to my ceiling while I stand on a ladder.
-
I can confirm that the vertical keyboard idea works best on laptop
-
Back in the olden days, when you wanted to go to LAN parties, you had to bring your pc and monitor, where you had to play in a limited table space. That meant that you had to make as much mouse space as possible by turning your keyboard vertical.
-
Many pros tilt their keyboard because back in the old days in LANs there wasn't as much desk space and they needed to adapt.
-
A 45 degree tilt is right on the sweet spot
-
It's people that haven't been loved as child, so they unconsciously hug their keyboard as a trauma response 🤪
-
I remove my whole setup entirely so i have as much room as possible
-
Real ones have their keyboard on the floor playing it with their feet
-
The last one left me hanging 😂 It got me dead 💀 * ba dum tss *
-
Get these guys 60% keyboards 🗣️
-
I usually use my feet to control my keyboard, that way I have the whole desk to work with
-
Tilting or Turing your keyboard allows more room and adds comfort but the main reason is you can use keys like f and g without much movement
-
My setup: my monitor is 5 cm from my face, my keyboard is tiltes to 90 degrees
-
I actually turn my keyboard 45 degrees, because it's a more ergonomic position for my hand to be in when gaming using WASD. When I have it horizontal my wrist has to be bent to use WASD, but when I turn my keyboard a bit, it's in a relaxed position where my wrist is in line with the rest of my arm.
-
i like it when keys are facing the table and not the ceiling
-
Simple answer to that is when you play like that your whole arm is at rest since it's all in the table and for that it gives the sensation of perfect gameplay due to arm relaxation
-
Well, the main reason for this is that in the old days, desks would've been quite small, and so placing both keyboard and mouse was problematic. Nowadays we have TKL keyboards and, of course, large desks. However, professional players still use the keyboard vertically as they are just used to it) You can really see this playstyle in Counter Strike
