Did somebody say news?
Chair / ergonomics question re: armrests.

Where are my arms supposed to rest while typing? My armrests only move up and down and have a minor u-shape indent along the long portion for an arm to rest in but it's creating a pressure point on my forearms that's causing some discomfort when typing or using my mouse. See the crummy paint job below.




What's the idea with using arm rests that don't rotate inwards to match the angle of my arms going in to the keyboard? Are they not intended to support the arms during typing / mouse use? How high up should the arm rests be relative to the desk top? Should I only be resting my elbow on the armrest with my wrists and forearms supported by the desk?
