...Using your keyboard and mouse

Placement of the mouse

You are encouraged to use the keyboard and shortcut keys for the majority of tasks. You will find this is often quicker and easier.

If you do use the mouse, it should be placed right next to your keyboard and as close to you as possible. This will enable you to use the mouse with your elbow bent and remaining close to your body.
