Had better fine motor skills with my "primary" hand. Eventually as I started playing more PC games and using computers at school more I got tired of always having to move the mouse around and having to reconfigure keybinds for every game (where it was even possible to do so). So I adapted to right handed mouse somewhere around 14 years old. Beyond that, in my time in IT support, I think I encountered only three people who did left handed mice. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago and having to reconfigure keybinds for every game ESDF for life dude permalink fedilink source parent [β] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago Early in my career I was a sysadmin for a multiuser system, and I often had to go to people's desks to troubleshoot problems they were having. That meant using whatever pointing device and keyboard they had. There were a crazy number of variations, including left handed setups of different types. It was actually an interesting part of the job. But yes, some left handed folks do that, as did some people who had issues with their right hand/arm. permalink fedilink source parent [β] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 child) Yeah, some do.

If theyβd oriented everything the right hand side of the characters, that would mean placing everything on the left of the comic, which mightβve felt wrong to the artist. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 child) Or it reads better than the mouse being on the correct side. If you're going to wildly speculate about others, assuming incompetence is a really shitty thing to do. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] adarza@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago putting the mouse on the other side would have hidden it from view, obstructed by the monitor. future boy in control of the pc would be a little less apparent. and it looks better having the time machine left vs flipping the entire image. it's a picture, but i think most people would still scan it left-to-right and the time machine should be 'seen' first. permalink fedilink source parent [β] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 point 1 month ago leftie here. i learned to use the mouse on the right. the number of times my left arm has been unusable, i've been glad i taught myself a little ambidexterity. permalink fedilink source parent
