There were many ergonomic designs coming out around that time. For
example, there was one with the two halves rotated so the midpoint was
higher than the sides; this way, your wrists could adopt a more natural
orientation with your hands at an angle to each other, instead of having
to be close to horizontal and side by side.
 
A lot of them were adjustable, too, on the basis that one angle does not
fit all.

Being left handed I am not a fan of ergonomic designs. It goes beyond
computer accessories. I had an Audi that touted its ergonomic design. It
must have been someone else's ergos.

I'm left-handed as well (through I learned to throw right-handed as well when I
won a baseball mitt for righties for selling tickets in the Cub Scouts).
Also use the left pinkie wayyyy too much for Esc, Ctrl, and Shift, hence
my mapping of Caps Lock to Esc and Ctrl. Then there's the fscking Super
(Windows) key, which I have allocated to tons of functions in Fluxbox and
xbindkeys.

I went through a stage of using very small wireless keyboards, but having to
press the Fn key at the left was another issue. So I've got an ergo keyboard of
modest price with now. Also bought a left-handed vertical mouse.

But enough about me.  :-D

Hey cool, I'm left handed too! I still use mouse with right hand bc I
never realized you were supposed to use your dominant hand. Ergonomic
designs sometimes are nice, but usually not.

What's weird is on trackpads I use my right hand. I have no idea why.

I cremated Sam McGee.
