Either your table is extremely narrow (like 50cm wide in total) or you will have empty space between keyboard and mouse anyway, even with numpad. At least I have and I find claim about "reducing hand travel time from mouse to kb will increase productivity" not very convincing.
- pletnes 7y agoIt’s not about travel time, but shoulder movement. I moved to left hand mouse partly for this reason.
- usrusr 7y agoBut why is less movement automatically considered better? Screen work is sedentary enough even without movement-minimized input placement. The downsides of repetition are best battled by increasing variation.
- pletnes 7y agoStatic arm rotated outwards. Dynamic movement would be great but the arm tends to get stuck out there for some time. Might apply more to photoshoppers and less to vim users though.
- usrusr 7y ago[a late answer, but now the threads is old enough to legitimately get lost on tangents] Are you talking about a "full hand rest" mouse? Because there is no static load on the arm when operating a mouse that is hardly ever touched with more than fingertips, while the base of the hands is resting on the table.
