Adjust Your Input Devices
Follow these points in positioning your keyboard and mouse.
!Position your keyboard directly in front of you. Avoid reaching when using your keyboard or mouse.
!If you use a mouse, position it at the same height as the keyboard and next to the keyboard. Keep your wrists straight and use your entire arm when moving a mouse. Do not grasp the mouse tightly. Grasp the mouse lightly and loosely.
!Adjust the keyboard height so that your elbows are near your body and your forearms are parallel to the floor, with your forearms resting on either armrests or forearm supports, in the manner described previously. If you do not have armrests or forearm supports, your upper arms should hang comfortably at your sides.
!Adjust your keyboard slope so that your wrists are straight while you are typing.
