Arranging Your Work Area
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
uncomfortably, to reach the mouse.
RIGHT
Position your
pointing device
immediately to the
side of your
keyboard and
close to the
keyboard's front
edge.
WRONG!
Do not position
your keyboard and
pointing device at
different levels and
distances.
