*HINT: Long Hours of Use

You may find it more comfortable to use a full-size keyboard, monitor, and detached mouse or trackball with your notebook computer. This is especially important when working on your notebook computer for long hours.

Typing Style

*

Observe your typing style and notice how you use your fingers and hands. Avoid keeping any unnecessary tension in your thumbs and fingers. Observe whether you have a heavy touch or a light touch while typing. Use the minimum amount of force needed to depress the keys.

Reaching for keys and key combinations

To reach keys that are not near your keyboard’s home row, move your whole arm; avoid stretching your fingers and angling your wrists. When pressing two keys simultaneously, such as Ctrl+C or Alt+F, use two hands instead of contorting one hand to reach both keys

RIGHT!

Relax your thumbs and fingers while typing and pointing; notice and release excess tension.

WRONG!

Don’t type or point with unnecessary tension in your thumbs and fingers.

HINT: Keep it Light

If your typing is on the heavy side, teach yourself to lighten up. Press the keys more gently.
