How to reduce wrist strain while typing
Wrist strain usually comes from bent wrists and a desk that's too high. Keep wrists flat and elbows level, and support both hands.
Keep wrists neutral
Wrists should stay flat, not bent up over the keyboard edge. A wrist rest helps hold that position.
Set the right height
Elbows near 90 degrees with forearms level. If the desk is too high, raise the chair and add a footrest.
Fit the mouse to your hand
A sculpted mouse that matches your hand size keeps the wrist more neutral than a flat one.
