Proper Keyboarding Posture
Ergonomics is the science concerned with designing safe and comfortable machines for humans. Following these rules will increase your speed and accuracy at the computer.
Proper Height of Your Keyboard. If it is too high, you will have trouble reaching some of the keys. If it is too low, your shoulders and arms will become tired.
Proper Distance from the Keyboard. Known as hand-span. Hand-span tells you how far you should sit away from your keyboard. If you sit too far away, you will not be able to reach the keys above homerow. If you sit too close, you will not be able to reach the keys below homerow.
Feet Flat on the Floor. They help balance your body for keyboarding. Crossing your ankles or knees puts a strain on your spine.
Sitting Up Straight. By doing this, it helps you keep your spine straight and comfortable as well as
provide balance.
Proper Wrist Position. Don't raise your palms so much that your wrists arch. Maintaining proper wrist
position helps avoid fatigue in your hands. If you wrists rest on your keyboard, this will cause you to
make typing mistakes.
Elbows In. Keeping your elbows close to your sides prevents your fingers from coming off home row.
When your fingers come off home row, you then have trouble striking the other keys from home position.
Eyes on Copy. If you don't keep your eyes on what you are typing, you will lose time from speed, you
may also type the wrong line, skip words or even repeat a line.
Fingers Anchored. While typing, you need to keep your fingers anchored on the homerow keys.
When you reach for a key on the top or bottom row, you need to remember to bring your fingers back to
the homerow position.

∙ 11y agoOn a standard QWERTY keyboard, the proper position is along the "home row", with your left pinky over the letter A and your left pointer finger over F, and your right pointer finger over J and right pinky over ; (semicolon). Both thumbs should rest over the spacebar. Note the small raised area on the lower part of the F and J keys, to help your fingers find their way back "home." :)
