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.

Keep it Light

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

*“Hunt-and-Peck” Typing

Non-touch-typing causes the neck to bend forward repeatedly. To minimize this repetitive movement, learn how to touch-type so you don’t need to look down at the keyboard as often.

AVOID! Avoid banging on the keys. Don't use more force than needed to press the keys.
