Mouse

  • Position the mouse at the same level as the keyboard and close enough that you can use the mouse without having to stretch or lean over
  • When you use the mouse, hold it lightly with all fingers and click gently. Move the mouse with your entire arm instead of using only your wrist
  • A mouse microbead wrist rest may help to avoid resting your wrist or forearm on your work surface while you move your mouse
  • Do not plant wrists
  • If possible alternate using the mouse, one week with the right hand and one week with the left hand
