Ergonomic Micro-Upgrades: Keyboard, Mouse & Accessories that Save Wrists | DeskDen Supplies

Prologue
Ergonomics is architecture for the body. You don’t need a remodel to feel better; you need micro-upgrades that meet your anatomy where it works: keyboards & mice that fit, wrist supports, and measured reaches that reduce strain. Explore under Digital Accessories and Home Office → Ergonomic Accessories. DeskDen Supplies


1) The Triangle of Comfort

  • Eyes: top of screen ≈ eye level.

  • Elbows: 90–110°.

  • Wrists: neutral, not cocked up.

2) Keyboard Choices

  • Low-profile to reduce wrist extension.

  • Split/ergonomic if shoulder width or ulnar pain demands alignment.

  • Add a wrist rest only if you float-type poorly—never press down while typing.

3) Mouse Logic

  • Size to hand (no clawing).

  • Vertical or trackball options can ease pronation and shoulder travel.

4) Layout Discipline

  • Keep Notebooks & Planners within forearm’s reach; move infrequent items to the edge.

  • Dock a phone stand to stop neck tilts.

5) Micro-Break Protocol (every 45–60 minutes)

Stand, roll shoulders, focus on a far point, sip water. The best posture is your next one.

FAQ

Q: Do I need an expensive chair first?
A: Start with input devices + screen height. Chairs help, but hands log the miles.
