From Ken Garner
You ran a news item about controlling a computer mouse with your left hand (13 March, p 17). As a right-handed person, I changed over a number of years ago, partly as the result of a temporarily bruised hand.
I have never looked back. Within a few days I was as proficient with the left hand as I was, and still am, with my right hand. I didn’t find it necessary to reverse the buttons either. Apart from the possible posture benefits your article mentioned, I find the main advantage is that I can make notes, and use the keypad, return key and also a tablet with my normal writing hand, without removing my other hand from the mouse.
Join the elite, go left. After all, we perform a host of other simple tasks daily with the left hand – such as changing gear in a car in the UK.
