Shouldn't the watch be on your non-dominant hand?
- addandsubtract 3y agoWouldn't your dominant hand be on your mouse?
- Hamuko 3y agoThere's actually data on this! https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1357650X.2021.2006211 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1357650X.2021.2...
- swozey 3y agolol, it doesn't show in the shortened url. I clicked this and read other things then went to that tab and went "wtf was I looking up here?" possibly nsfw if you work for the puritans and love kelloggs
- wharvle 3y agoThere's either got to be a big generational gap on preference for this, or a lot of folks out there have developed mousing ambidexterity.
- brewdad 3y agoI'm a lefty through and through in my sixth decade going around the sun. Mousing with my left hand is weird. Like completely wrong. Even on a touchpad I tend to "mouse" with my right hand.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoSome lefty's do. I use the mouse right handed and even hold a guitar right handed. Some things you just train yourself to conform to society with. Kind of a shame I'm not an artist because I can have an amazing setup with a drawing tablet, keyboard, and mouse that is all at my beck and call. (and... that, with my off hand as well. No clue why. I guess I hold a screen with my dominant hand?).
- Eric_WVGG 3y agoWhy? (I switch wrists every six weeks ago because I think the tan line starts to look weird, it's similar usable from either)
- Hamuko 3y agoBecause it allows you to use your dominant hand to control it, and also your non-dominant hand is more often free than your dominant hand, so it's free to swing around when you walk and better count your steps.
- michaelt 3y agoThat's all very well for the folks who only need one hand...
