Comment on Most mouse pointers designs assume right-handed users

I’m left-handed, but I’ve always used a mouse with my right hand… and now I’m wondering if I was unconsciously influenced by the orientation of the pointer.

Mouse with your off hand means your main hand can do other things - type or such. Most keyboards have a numberpad to the right, so the left is the more ergonomic place for a mouse.

I have two computers, and two keyboards and two mice. I keep a mouse on each side. (I tried a KVM and didn't like it). YMMV.

  This is why I got a TKL keyboard. It took a long time for me to realize how far away I was reaching for my mouse.
