Mouse

Place the mouse at the same height as the keyboard and within a comfortable reach.

Keyboard

When you use the keyboard, your shoulders should be relaxed. Your upper arm and forearm should form an angle that is slightly greater than a right angle, with your wrist and hand in roughly a straight line. Use a light touch when typing and keep your hands and fingers relaxed. Avoid rolling your thumbs under your palms.

Change hand positions often to avoid fatigue. Some computer users may develop discomfort in their hands, wrists, or arms after intensive work without breaks. If you begin to develop chronic pain or discomfort in your hands, wrists, or arms, consult a qualified health specialist.
