One's Computer Mouse Accessories Piece Buying Technology Work

Technology stores in the United States sell many computer accessories. Printers, scanners, keyboards, mice, monitors, and monitor stands are just the beginning. There are also many smaller accessories that computer users can purchase to make their computers work faster or be more comfortable.

Some computer accessories are "ergonomic," meaning that they are designed to correct one's "posture" (the way that one holds one's body) to avoid "injuries" (painful problems with one's body). A "wrist rest," for example, is a soft piece of material that one puts in front of a keyboard and/or mouse for one's "wrist" (the part of one's body between one's hand and arm) to rest on in the correct position.

Another common computer accessory is a "mouse pad," or a small piece of cloth-covered plastic that one puts the mouse on and moves the mouse over the top. A mouse pad helps the mouse move smoothly so that one has more control when trying to move the "cursor" (the arrow on one's computer) around the screen. Many mouse pads have pretty photos or funny drawings on them.

Many people who work at a desk want to buy a "keyboard drawer." This is put under the desk where one sits and can be pulled toward oneself like a "drawer" (a small box that opens in a piece of furniture). The keyboard sits on top of the drawer, so one can use it while the drawer is open, or hide it while the drawer is closed.

Finally, many people have "document holders" next to their computers. A document holder "holds" (keeps something in a position) a piece of paper "at eye level" (at the height of one's eyes) so that one can look at it while using the computer without having to use one's hands.
