Question for FFR/SM players

[NixXSkate]

When you play with freshly cut fingernails, do your fingers bleed? I hate playing with nails since they get stuck between the keyboard when I'm playing spread or on top of my fingers if I'm playing index, but when I cut them they start to bleed when I play for a bit. Then, they become numb so that I can't feel the keys, which is really annoying, especially if I'm playing index or going for AAAs. Does anyone else have this problem?

Unless you use the surface of the nails to hit the buttons I can't understand how you can hurt yourself playing, in any case try to use the fingertip to press the buttons

First time I've heard that. Never had that sort of problem before and I usually play with cut fingernails for long periods of time(at least SM that is).

I have that exact problem when I play with my toes.

Re: Question for FFR/SM players

it happened to me when i played index, but hasnt happened since i switched to spread, and it was like bleeding a lot, just like the skin under the nail peeled off and was exposed. some bleeding happened

Re: Question for FFR/SM players

Try playing with the flat side of your fingers instead of the upper side, it should do it

Re: Question for FFR/SM players

Yeah... I've always played with the flats of my fingers.. Is that bad?

Re: Question for FFR/SM players

playing index with the pads of your fingers tips is a lot harder. because then you have to reach over the other finger for certain patterns.

Re: Question for FFR/SM players

I only play spread but usually if my nails are long I will stop playing and cut my nails. Stepmania keeps my nails short XD

try to avoid hitting your keyboard with your nails

Re: Question for FFR/SM players

When I play spread, it's not as bad, but when i play index, it's guaranteed to happen. You can't really avoid hitting by the nail with index.

I bite my nails habitually so I don't really have this problem. : D

Re: Question for FFR/SM players

I tear off my fingernails using my other fingernails

(I end up with one long fingernail and nine short ones)

Re: Question for FFR/SM players

I can only play comfortable with cut nails, lol.

Re: Question for FFR/SM players

Are you pressing the keys really hard or something? I've played index my whole life and this has never happened.
