For example, if you are primarily using the keyboard, place it directly in
front of you, not to the side. If your work involves extensive use of a
mouse or other pointing device, place that device directly in front of
your left or right arm. If you are using both a mouse and keyboard, place
them both at the same work surface height and close together. If a palm
