Setup and Connections

Plug the USB connector into the USB port on your computer. The
operating system will automatically detect that a new device has
been connected. The USB computer keyboard is now ready to be
used.

Workspace Ergonomics

Incorrect use of a USB computer keyboard, or typing for extended
periods of time, can lead to physical injury. An ergonomically laid
out workspace can help minimize injury and even increase your
productivity.

Setup

Arrange the workspace as symmetrically as possible. Sit directly in
front of the monitor so that the screen runs parallel to the edge of
the desk. Sit at least one arm’s length away from the monitor. Place
the USB computer keyboard directly in the center in front of the user
and at the same height as the mouse. Other frequently used items
should be placed within easy reach. The ideal position for the arms
is where the elbows rest at the side of the upper body.

Posture

The upper arms should rest parallel to the upper body. The upper
and lower arms should form a right angle. Place feet rmly on the
oor. If the feet are not comfortably on the oor, use a foot rest. The
upper and lower legs should form a right angle. If the correct seating
position is adopted, then the upper and lower body should form a
step-like shape. Above all, make sure the sitting position is
comfortable.

USB Computer Keyboard

While typing, distribute load equally across all ngers. Keep wrists as
straight as possible when working on the computer. Ideally, the lower
arm and hand should form a straight line. Also try reducing the typing
speed once in a while. Use pauses to stretch and do some exercises
to reduce stress caused from typing. An additional wrist rest in front
of the USB computer keyboard will support the hands and relieve
strain on the wrists and shoulders.
