Setup and Connections

Plug the USB connector into the USB port on your computer. The operating system will automatically detect that a new device has been connected. The USB computer keyboard is now ready to be used.
Workspace Ergonomics
Incorrect use of a USB computer keyboard, or typing for extended periods of time, can lead to physical injury. An ergonomically laid-out workspace can help minimize injury and even increase your productivity.
Setup
Arrange the workspace as symmetrically as possible. Sit directly in front of the monitor so that the screen runs parallel to the edge of the desk. Sit at least one arm’s length away from the monitor. Place the USB computer keyboard directly in the center in front of the user and at the same height as the mouse. Other frequently used items should be placed within easy reach. The ideal position for the arms is where the elbows rest at the side of the upper body.
Posture
The upper arms should rest parallel to the upper body. The upper and lower arms should form a right angle. Place feet firmly on the floor. If the feet are not comfortable on the floor, use a footrest. The upper and lower legs should form a right angle. If the correct seating position is adopted, then the upper and lower body should form a step-like shape. Above all, make sure the sitting position is comfortable.
USB Computer Keyboard
While typing, distribute the load equally across all fingers. Keep wrists as straight as possible when working on the computer. Ideally, the lower arm and hand should form a straight line. Also, try reducing the typing speed once in a while. Use pauses to stretch and do some exercises to reduce the stress caused by typing. An additional wrist rest in front of the USB computer keyboard will support the hands and relieve strain on the wrists and shoulders.
