Am I the only one that finds default height desks incredibly uncomfortable? I'm 180cm (5'11 for burgers) and I remember reading that the standard desk height (75 cm) makes sense ergonomically for people about 195 cm tall (6'4). If I get my chair high enough to have my mouse arm comfortably moving, my feet don't touch the floor fully which puts a lot of pressure on the backs of my thighs and makes my legs fall asleep after 15 mins. If I lower my chair so that my feet are flat on the ground, my right arm is in a weird position that makes aiming uncomfortable and limits my range of motion.
Am I crazy or are there others

Cubenityi'm tall and 75cm is way too low for me, i have to bend like a goblin to rest my elbows on the desk, no way these desks are designed for tall people
It all depends on how you sit i guess. The 195cm height for 75 cm desks was probably calculated for people sitting properly/ergonomically

^that's the proper way to sit if you don't want long term issues
Now, look at this stock photo of what looks like an average height dude sitting at an average height desk
https://i.imgur.com/idwY15s.jpg
See how his shoulders are raised up and arms both flared outwards so he can get his elbows up on the desk, unlike the first pic where the proper sitting guy has his upper arm hanging down freely and the desk surface comes naturally under his elbow

I can recommend getting at least a desk with adjustable height (manually adjustable length for each table leg). I used to have a relatively cheap one from IKEA until I got myself an electric sit-stand desk (ideal for me, although an investment).
Also, people can have very different leg-torso ratios, 2 of the same height might have different ideal desk heights.

Yeah, I was thinking about getting one the next time I'm in a country with Ikea, or maybe just getting a shorter non adjustable one custom made (should be cheaper). I just wanted to know if someone else had the same issues

Get a foot rest, then you can put your hair high enough and your feet can sit on the footrest. ez pz
