Below are some of the tips for better mousing:
- Use a keyboard tray with sufficient space for both your
keyboard and mouse. Avoid placing the mouse higher than the keyboard surface and far from
reach. The mouse should be placed as close to and at the same level as the keyboard.
- Lightly rest your hand and fingers on the mouse. The weight
of your hand is more than enough to maneuver a mechanical mouse.
- Do not just move the mouse with the wrist, but rather allow
your forearm, wrist, and hand to move together. Your fingers, wrist and hand should feel
loose and fluid.
- Adjust the height of the mouse platform and the chair so
that the wrist is not bending upward or downward. Make sure you are sitting high enough
for the workstation to be slightly below elbow height so that your hand rests naturally on
the mouse.
- Use key commands to eliminate the need to click and drag on
the mouse.
- Occasionally open up the trackball compartment to clean any
dirt that has accumulated . Periodically replace the old mousepad for better traction of
the mouse.
