One way to minimize the distance between the keyboard and the mouse was to switch the mouse from the right side to the left. This, of course, means that I had to learn to use the left hand for mouse, but this actually helped more than anything else, since reaching for and moving it has been straining on my wrist. Another benefit is that it freed my right hand to occasionally write something on paper.

- JoshTriplett 11y agoI've solved that problem by using a USB ThinkPad keyboard, so I have a mouse on home row and mouse buttons just under the spacebar. That also puts all the usually distant keys much closer.
