Your HP Keyboard
Your HP keyboard has a long cable so you can place it in the position
most comfortable for you while you are using the system.
The keyboard has a low profile to prevent excessive bending of your
wrists while typing. Literature suggests that you should not bend your
wrists more than 10 degrees up or down, or more than 10 degrees
sideways. Keep your wrists straight by moving your entire hand and
forearm over to use the function keys or numeric keypad.
Your HP keyboard may have a kickstand which can be opened or
closed to raise or lower the keyboard angle. If your elbows are at about
the same level as the work surface, then you may choose not to use the
kickstand. If your elbows are below the work surface, you may wish to
raise the back of the keyboard by using the kickstand. The point is to
make sure that your hands are in a "neutral" or flat position when you
use the keyboard. This means that your forearms, wrists, and hands
should be in straight line.
You may use a wrist rest to help keep your wrists in a more comfortable
and neutral position. If you use a wrist rest, ensure that it is flush in
height with the front edge of the keyboard, and rounded or padded.
Try not to rest your wrists on a sharp edge, such as a desk edge, when
typing.
