Mice, Keyboards, and Other Ergonomic Factors for Creating a Comfortable and Healthy Workspace

By Sara Skiff | Tuesday, June 2, 2009

Coming today to TechnoFeature: You cannot effectively evaluate any ergonomic device for your computer without considering the conditions in which you'll use it — your entire system so to speak. So says technology consultant B. Jefferson Le Blanc. In this article, Jefferson lays down the law for ergonomic lighting, chairs, equipment positioning, and especially input devices. If you're still using the keyboard and mouse that shipped with your PC (and which cost the company a few cents to manufacture), you owe it to your wrists, arms, neck, and back to read this TechnoFeature article and take Jefferson's advice.
