an approximate distance of about 60–65 cms for 17 inches screen.

Keep the keyboard and mouse together at an approximate distance of 20 cms, which will help
in the smooth and effortless operation of the keyboard. Same height of keyboard, mouse and
elbows helps the users to work comfortably.

unnecessary fatigue.
