Keyboard

Description

• Proper Posture: Sit with your back straight and feet flat on the ground. Position the keyboard so that your wrists are relaxed and your elbows form a 90-degree angle.
• Home Row Position: Place your fingers on the “home row” keys (ASDF for the left hand, JKL; for the right hand) and return to this position after typing each key. This reduces unnecessary finger movement.
• Use All Fingers: Train yourself to type using all fingers, distributing the workload evenly. This can improve speed and accuracy over time.
• Shortcut Mastery: Learn keyboard shortcuts for your most-used software, like Ctrl+C (Copy), Ctrl+V (Paste), and Alt+Tab (switching between windows). This helps you work more efficiently.
• Avoid Slouching Wrists: Resting wrists on the keyboard or desk can lead to strain. Instead, let your hands float above the keyboard, and only lightly touch the keys when typing.
• Take Breaks: Frequent breaks give your hands and wrists a chance to relax and reduce fatigue. Try the “20-20-20” rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds to reduce strain on your eyes.
• Use Keyboard Covers: Protect your keyboard from dust and spills by using a cover, which also makes cleaning easier.
• Practice Regularly: Consistent practice improves typing speed and accuracy, especially when using online typing programs or tutorials to track progress.
