The right keyboard and mouse can reduce what tires you out while you learn to type or work at the computer. Pay attention to the following:
- When you sit correctly, the keyboard should be under your hands or just in front of them, close enough that you don't have to stretch your arms to reach it.
- Holding your hands up while you type tires them quickly, so consider an ergonomic keyboard with a wrist rest. Remember, though, that your wrists should stay raised while you type - touch typing or not - even with an ergonomic keyboard. The wrist rest is for your hands during breaks. With a regular keyboard, you can buy a separate wrist pad or use a rolled-up cloth along the bottom edge of the keyboard.
- The mouse and mouse pad should sit next to the keyboard on the right (on the left if you're left-handed), so your hand travels as short a distance as possible from the keyboard to the mouse, without moving your elbow. If you use the mouse a lot, consider an ergonomically shaped one.
