What level is your keyboard at?

[Justin218]

I am going to be building a desk and am trying to figure out the best way to place the keyboard and mouse... Right now I just have it at the same height as my LCD. 29 inches from the floor on a flat desk. Is there a better way? My forearms point up when I am working on the computer, is that a good or a bad thing? Anyone know the average desk height?

Anyone know the average desk height?
-just big enough for the midget to fit under there


seriously though, I would say my desk it at about 2 1/2', so you are in the ballpark

These "work stations" are optimized for mousing. I've GOT to have my elbow supported or I ain't happy!

Desk height is standard 30", but mouse and keyboard are at only 24", which is the normal height of a keyboard drawer or the arm of your chair. The top of your monitor screen should be 1" below eye level.

standard i think...

at the level where if i bend my elbows my hands are on the keyboard

 

[Yossarian]

forearms should be parallel to the floor
