Other mice, that will be mentioned later, are designed for comfortable use for extended periods of time. Try to keep your arms and hands warm. Cold muscles are more apt to strain and injury than warm ones. And finally, do not use the computer more than necessary.

Some people tend to use their break times at work playing video games.
This is also a good example of using the computer 'more than necessary'. If a person needs to use a computer for video games, take a break every ten minutes or so, as mentioned above.ii All of these strategies mentioned above are things that can be done to reduce injuries when using a computer for an extended period of time. They do not include any type of ergonomically designed hardware. If employees form these habits, there would be less need to purchase any ergonomic equipment for the office. But, making new habits is not the easiest thing to do for most people.
