gollark: I have laptops for various reasons and somehow never ended up getting a mouse.

gollark: Other things I apparently can do with either, but it feels vaguely weird to do so.

gollark: I can operate my phone and keyboard and trackpad with either hand, but only write fairly slowly and inaccurately left-handed.

gollark: For writing and stuff, yes, but apparently not generally working input devices.

gollark: Simply put the mouse elsewhere and use your other hand.
