Office Ergonomics: Mouse & Keyboard Video

English

Now that you have your office chair and set it up the way you want, it’s time to position the mouse and keyboard.

Similar to the chair, you want to avoid creating awkward postures that come from having a keyboard set too low or a mouse positioned in a way that you have to reach for it.

In this video, we offer tips on how to avoid discomfort while using your mouse and keyboard.
