Pointing style
AVOID!
Avoid gripping or pinching your mouse tightly.
TIPS
●
Pointing comfort
When using a mouse, trackball, or other pointing device, hold it loosely and click the buttons using
a light touch. Keep your hand and fingers relaxed at all times - whether actively using or merely
placing your hand on the device while pausing. For longer pauses, let it go and relax your hands
and fingers.
●
Switch hands
To give your hand a break, you may choose to control your mouse or trackball with the opposite
hand for awhile.
Use your whole arm and shoulder to move the mouse, not just your wrist. Do not rest or anchor your
wrist while using your pointing device; keep your wrist, arm, and shoulder free to move.
RIGHT
Keep your wrist in a comfortable, neutral position and your pointing device aligned with your forearm.
WRONG!
Do not move your pointing device too far from the keyboard because it can cause you to markedly bend
your wrist to the side.
