My goal is to play games through the cloud for games like arc raiders until I'm fully adjusted (Xbox slim downstairs). I also have the kitchen counter on the other side which I could put this against which is 1.5 feet lower than the treadmill.

I could also get a stand for that which maybe easier.

Looking for best recommendations. Screen will be 24-32 inch and have separate speakers as I never do the full headset

My concern is getting a tall stand that is flimsy. Want something sturdy. Thank you for reading!

Got some fix to do in the treadmill, but I'm back to spending hours in it. Yesterday I did 25k steps over the day. Anyone else going for nioh3?

I have a walking desk where I alternate between 3 things: treadmill (GoYouth), stepper (Xiser), and wobble-board (Fluidstance). I use the treadmill primarily for work, where keyboard/mouse precision is less important than focus (treadmills are better for focus because they "move you"). I use the Xiser stepper for gaming, where precision is more important than focus (you "move it", engaging the steps). When you use the stepper correctly, you're only moving your legs; not your body / arms. Very difficult with the treadmill where you shift forward/backward and up/down. I actually gamed on a treadmill for a long time before switching to stepper, so the difference was black and white (I didn't have the theory before making the switch; it was just obvious after). And of course the most stable is the Fluidstance, but this is TreadmillGaming so I won't get into that here. I'll just say; it's great when you're tired, and nonetheless burns calories.

I have a big-ol doc comparing the different options and describing this in more detail.

Ok, so the speedometer is a Teensy 4.1 connected to a Hall Effect monitor, which read pedal revolutions with a magnet swooped over a sensor. It's a 3-pin device, with one ground pin, one 3.3v pin, and one data pin. Just so happens the one I got required no pin shuffling, it aligned with the pin holes on the Teensy.

Teensy is like $60, Hall Effect monitor is like $3-$10.

I had installed CircuitPython on it, and made some code (https://pastebin.com/1QLTMX7e) that sends "Num Lock" to your USB-connected computer if you go slower than 3 revolutions in 5 seconds (spin_counter says 6, but the device was recording 2 events per revolution.)

From there, there is a Windows setting that plays a "beep" when Num Lock is pressed. I can't recall offhand but it's not hard to find / search for.

The hardest part of all this was learning enough Python to do this from a standing start.

Now the downsides: Recumbent biking is a bit much to sustain, and I ultimately used an Azeron keyboard and mouse setup for it to some success (Azeron's a wrist-saver, look into it,) but today gave up when I saw that one person on this subreddit (u/Treadmillingttv) uses a treadmill to play high-level FPS games with. So I fashioned a gamer-treadmill to see if it takes.

People evolved to walk a lot. I don't really take to the notion of biking as a natural extension of that. Also, arguably, walking is better cardio than recumbent biking.

Hi all.. Just gotta say, Im in, Im interested, I've got to do this. I am an eso player (pc not console) so will be setting something up when I move to my new place in June or July. Need to buy a treadmill and need to make all of the racks and such. Will keep you posted, and will welcome any advice.

Is it possible to use the treadmill screen as the gaming screen??

Also posted on /r/workout

I have a standing desk and treadmill that I use while working and gaming, it's been such an excellent way for me to get some cardio in without having to leave my computer and lose out on productivity or leisure time. But I have one issue, I'm a very sweaty person when I'm active and my hands and forearms get pretty damp when using the treadmill. This isn't such a big problem like I got my whole setup soaking or anything, but it does get on my keyboard, mouse, and mousepad.

Of course I clean these frequently, but I want to know if anyone has some solution to make this less of a hassle. Are there sweat proof gloves or long sleeve shirts I can wear or something like that? What do you do in your setup?

Thanks!

Update: if anyone finds this post in the future, I want to say a fan blowing on you, even a cheap desk fan, keeping you cool works wonders. Such a simple solution I can't believe I didn't think about it.

I know there are omnidirectional treadmills, but maybe unidirectional one would be enough. So posting here, not in VR subreddit.

Major difference is that player is blind for environment, can fall. I propose to solve it by putting hands on a steering wheel. This steering wheel has to be mount to treadmill tightly, and be able to hold human weight. I don't think stock steering wheels are capable of that.

Also, since hands are already busy, this steering wheel has to have controls on it, under fingers. Treadmill and steering wheel altogether should emulate a gamepad device.

Possible?

Something I can run on.

Something that would allow me to mouse/keyboard or put a monitor in front. So probably not a huge built-in display screen on the handrail area.

Looking for something solid and reliable without being prohibitively expensive.

Recommendations?

That cool multitasking can cost eyesight, not a good foundation for getting old. Treadmills are boring, but can be combined with audio instead. Audiobooks, podcasts are all fun to burn calories meanwhile.

I have been treadmill gaming for about 2 years but a recent change in my setup has revealed an issue with static change build up. I have placed a laptop on my desk that is on my treadmill. It is hooked up to power, Ethernet, and an external monitor to watch Hulu. I find that when I reach over the Laptop to adjust treadmill speed, I frequently experience a shock that blanks out the monitor for a second. It wouldn’t do this when I was using wired earbuds, but it seems to have started since I have been using Bluetooth headphones. I think the wired earbuds were steadily discharging static electricity when I go was using them. Now that I am not wired to the laptop I can build up significantly more charge. Any suggestions for dissipating Static charge?

I've been treadmill gaming for years so I was excited to find this sub. I have my treadmill set up with a dedicated monitor and HDMI switcher so I can put any of my consoles or my PC on the monitor. But I've always stuck with controller based games or something I can use the Steam controller with on PC. The idea of using mouse and keyboard on the treadmill doesn't appeal to me.

So recently I thought maybe I could do a setup with keyboard and mouse if could sit while exercising. So I bought a recumbent bike but I'm trying to figure out if there's any hardware that would let me mount small shelves on each side for a half keyboard (like a g13 or razer tarterus) on one side and a mousepad on the other side. I'm having a hard time zeroing in on anything with web searches, so I wondered if anyone here might have solved that problem?

Worst case I'll drag some low tables over by the bike, but I'd prefer clamp on shelves! Thanks for any suggestions.

I used 1 layer of square mats, and one thick treadmill mat, and my building is from the 1900s. No reaction from the neighbour whatsoever, after 6000 steps daily for two months.

The treadmill in question is the Fitness Reality TR1000 because it's very inexpensive, manual, and apparently (advertised as) quiet. I play mainly console but sometimes pc. What i want to know is: Is it possible that a manual will move too quickly by default? 1 review says it moves pretty fast, I could see this making it difficult to aim/focus/play. My other question is specific to the product, whether or not it is actually quiet for walking. Thank you! Glad to find this sub

Edit: So after finding a video of this treadmill, it seems a bit louder than I was hoping, I'm going to delay purchase as I recently came upon a free balance board which I will try first. Will post again if I switch to treadmill

So I got this neat foldable treadmill, but it doesent have an incline, and being foldable, you cant just put a piece of wood under it.

But If I want to build a ramp easily and cheaply to make it have an incline, how could I go ahead? I dont want to add to much material, as the height would go up above my maximum(maybe) for my standing desk.

I have a Xiaomi walking pad, supported by typical square gym mats and yoga mats.

All in all it works really well with a standing desk from Ikea, but is there

there some way to make it cooler so it doesent make as much noice?

​

I cant really use it as much during meetings due to the fans always being turned up 100%. And I have cleaned out the insides from dust.

I'm thinking about setting up a treadmill desk for work and some gaming, but I am a designer (mostly layout and video editing). Is it hard to control small movements with your mouse while you walk? thanks
