6 Smart Keyboarding Tips Make You Healthy

When we learn MBA knowledge, read MBA books, we have to type with our keyboard to record the knowledge. I am always type with my Compaq Presario CQ60 Keyboard and feel so tired, so I collect some tips good for our health when we typing.

1.Try an ergonomic keyboard. As always, the right ergonomic product can help you achieve your goals. Try a left-handed keyboard, a mini keyboard (great for maximizing space), or even a split keyboard for maximum comfort.

2.Neutral positioning. This just means that you never bend or cock or angle your body, and especially your hands, in an awkward way. Your hands should form a straight line with your wrists, forearms, and elbow.

3.Keep your hands and fingers curved. Instead of locking your fingers, your hands should naturally curve into a loose ball as they float over the keys.

4.Float your hands. Your hands should also hover over the keys, rather than hanging on them.

5.Confirm proper keyboard placement. Your keyboard should sit flat on a surface, or ideally, at a slightly negative slope away from your body. It should rest about two inches above your legs, about an inch below your elbow height. The space bar on your keyboard should be perfectly centered to your body.Your keyboard and mouse should be right next to each other.

6.Rest on your palms. When you do need rests, rest on the palms of your hands or try a a wrist rest. Never put extra pressure on your wrists unnecessarily.

That is the 6 tips tell you how to keep your healthy when you are typing. Apart from that, you should also keep your laptop healthy, so you can type all the way.
