…and they assume that the pointing device is a mouse.

inspiration: I’m using a trackball with my left hand because of a broken button. The pointer shape doesn’t make sense since i’m not clicking with my right index finger.

    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.
