RRANGING OUR

Keyboard and Pointing Device

Place your keyboard, mouse, and other
input devices, so that you can use them with
your body in a relaxed, comfortable
position. In this way, you don't have to reach
or shrug your shoulders while working.
Positioning the Keyboard
Position the keyboard directly in front of you
to avoid twisting your neck and torso. This
makes it possible to type with your shoul-
ders relaxed and your upper arms hanging
freely at your sides.
Adjusting the Keyboard Height and Slope
Your elbow height should be near the height
of your keyboard's home row (see illustra-
tion under "Shoulders and Elbows"). Adjust
your keyboard slope so that your wrists are
straight.

Aligning the Mouse and Keyboard
When using a mouse or detached trackball,
position the device immediately to the right or
left of your keyboard.
Using a Keyboard Tray Comfortably
If you use a keyboard tray, make sure it is
wide enough to accommodate your pointing
device, such as a mouse or trackball.
Otherwise, you will probably place the
mouse on your desktop, higher and farther
away than the keyboard. This will lead you to
stretch forward repeatedly, and uncomfort-
ably, to reach the mouse.
RIGHT
Position your pointing
device immediately to
the right or left of your
keyboard.
WRONG!
Don't position your
keyboard and pointing
device at different levels
and distances.
