The students' answers will vary. You should adjust your chair height and position so your feet rest flat on the floor. Your arms should be comfortable at your side, forming a 90° angle with your upper arms, and your forearms should be parallel to the floor. Your shoulders should be relaxed and your arms should rest at your sides. The keyboard should be directly in front and close to you so you. Your wrists should be straight or in neutral position while typing. The mouse should be placed adjacent to the keyboard and at the same height, or above, the keyboard. Do not rest your hand on the mouse when resting. Press the keys gently and don't hold them down for long periods. Keep your shoulders, arms, hands, and fingers relaxed.

Proper typing ergonomics refers to the correct body positioning while typing. This helps achieve comfort and avoid bodily stress, strain, and wear and tear of your joints and tissues. Proper ergonomics increase typing speed and help achieve an efficient positioning for typing movements. Making an adjustment on your computer desk set can have a great impact on both your typing speed and physical comfort. Techniques such as keeping the wrist in a neutral position can help achieve proper typing ergonomics.
