Care of the keyboard

If the keyboard is dusty, wipe it clean with a dry, soft cloth.

Keyboard comfort

You can work more comfortably and efficiently by thoughtfully organizing your work
space. Developing good work habits is the best way to avoid strain and stress to your
hands, back, neck and eyes.
CAUTION: Using the computer keyboard incorrectly may result in discomfort and
possible injury. If your hands, wrists, and/or arms bother you while typing, stop
using the computer and rest. If the discomfort persists, consult a physician.

Developing good work habits

The key to avoiding discomfort or injury from repetitive strain is to vary your activities. If
possible, schedule a variety of tasks into your working day. Finding ways to break up the
routine can reduce stress and improve your efficiency.
Take recovery pauses from typing.
Take short breaks to change position, stretch your muscles, and rest your eyes. A two
or three minute break every half hour is more effective than one long break after
several hours.
Stretch spontaneously throughout the day to reduce tension.
Avoid performing repetitive activities for long periods. Intersperse repetitive activities
with other tasks.
To reduce eye strain, look away from the computer every 15 minutes or so, and focus
your eyes on a distant object for 30 seconds.
