Safety and Comfort
RIGHT!
Relax your thumbs and fingers while typing
and pointing; notice and release excess tension.
WRONG!
Don’t type or point with unnecessary tension in
your thumbs and fingers.
*
Keep it Light
If your typing is on the heavy side, teach yourself to lighten up. Press the keys more
gently.
“Hunt-and-Peck” Typing
Non-touch-typing causes the neck to bend forward repeatedly. To minimize this
repetitive movement, learn how to touch-type so you don’t need to look down at the
keyboard as often.
AVOID!
Avoid banging on the keys. Don't use more force than needed to press the keys.
