Start with actual equipment

Put the ordinary keyboard and pointing device on a suitable surface. Include any paper or other essential item you use alongside them.

Sketch the working footprint

Try the usual task with the surrounding surface clear. Note where objects are repeatedly moved and which areas need to remain available.

Compare the arrangement

Add one useful accessory only if it has a clear place outside that active area. Compare the arrangement again instead of filling every gap.

Record what works

Keep a simple reference of the resulting footprint. This is a practical space observation, not a prescribed ergonomic measurement or a claim about device performance.

A couple of useful questions

Do I need to buy the objects in the picture?

No. The AI image is an editorial concept, not a product listing. Begin with your own suitable objects and actual dimensions.

Is this a tested equipment or health recommendation?

No. These are visual planning notes, not product tests or prescribed ergonomic settings. Use the actual maker instructions and your own requirements for equipment decisions.
