Keyboard vs. mouse
It is a proven fact that using the keyboard you stretch less the arm than using the mouse, but what else is different?
Several studies have focussed on comparing the effects of using both input devices and this is what they have concluded:
When using the keyboard instead of the mouse you get:
- Less stress in the muscles of the neck
- Less stress in the lower side of the forearm
- Quicker reaction time
- Less margin of error
One of the most active European countries regarding studies on this subject matter is Denmark. It is quite remarkable the fact this state has been the first into condemning an employer to indemnify an employee with Mouse Syndrome1.
