So, I'm a gamer, playing all sorts of games, but mainly TF2 competitive atm. My question is: Should i put the keyboard/mouse on top or under my desk, and does it really matter?

I go by the height of the armrests of my task chair. This is why I like a heavy duty pullout tray that is sturdy, and height and tilt adjustable.

Ultimately it depends on how sturdy your desk is, and how much room you have between the underside of it's top and your thighs though.

Preferably you want to be able to comfortably type/game with your wrists in line with your forearms, vs bent. Plus a pullout allows you to adjust fore/aft position from screen.

If your desk already has a pullout tray for a keyboard and mouse, chances are the top of the desk is going to be hard to align with your chair's arm height.

On the other hand, a lot of desks that come with pullouts, have lousy rickety ones that aren't worth using. They are also often...
