Yes, and on top of that I use a vertical left-handed mouse. I am right handed but my dad made me switch to driving a mouse with the left hand some 25 years ago.

Yes, and on top of that I use a vertical left-handed mouse. I am right handed but my dad made me switch to driving a mouse with the left hand some 25 years ago. I am forever thankful to him for that :) First, you'll be faster because you can use keyboard with the right hand and drive a mouse with the left. Second, load on your right hand is automatically lower. And third, just use vertical mouse for a much more comfortable hand position :)
- cranky908canuck 5y agoThis sounds like what I was originally getting at. Interesting that you like a 'special' (ie., not vanilla symmetric cheap'n'cheerful thing) mouse. I have not yet figured out (after [mumble] years) whether I want a keyboard/mouse setup that fits like a custom glove (the perfect mouse, the perfect keyboard with the perfect layout (colemak or some such), foot pedals for the shift keys, etc (haven't tried that, yet)) or a setup that I can make work for me at any kiosk... or some middle position between those two. Currently I'm at "make it work".
- ivanche 5y agoVertical mice need not be too expensive these days. OK, now I use Evoluent Vertical Left 4 (the company bought it for me but IIRC it's $90), but before that I used some barely-not-noname-brand for $25 and it was decent for the money! My biggest complaint is that buttons were a bit hard to press (i.e. you need more force comparing to Evoluent). Now about keyboard+mouse combo... Yes, it's a bit awkward to carry Kinesis Advantage 2 + Evoluent mouse around. I actually don't do it unless absolutely necessary. If I would have to work from someplace for a few days, I would just carry laptop :)
