Current keyboard setup is made for left handed.

Dear right handed geekhackers, how can you possibly scribble, underline and take notes when your mouse is on your right, and when your 100% keyboard extends much more on the right side than on the left?
The "standard" setup was clearly designed by some left handed engineers.

So true. This is the reason why I use a 60% and put my numpad on the left side

60% is the answer

Was thinking about this the other day though when an IC about a new 60% board was discussed. Like, most of the ergonomic issues of full-sized boards would disappear for left-handed users.

I prefer a keyboard tray, they you have your whole desk clear for scribbling.

As a left handed, I still prefer to write on the left of the keyboard, if I was right handed, the tray could be a solution. Anyway they are often too wobbly, not stable enough...

The cheap ones are wobbly, but the good ones, like the rail mounted ones from 3M, are very stable.

Why would I want the keyboard and the other stuff in the same height in the first place? I touch type and that's better with the keyboard slightly below elbow height (in order to keep wrists straight while typing). That's not the case with handwriting. Of course I have the keyboard on a tray or in my lap, thus lower, while printed material is in my field of vision, thus closer to screens. (Ignoring the fact, that I prefer to use a pen-enabled tablet (i.e., a graphical tablet or a Tablet PC) for handwriting.)

I use my mouse with my left hand even though I am right-handed

Bought a numpad for work just for this. Mouse+numpad control will get me where I want in excel spreadsheets most of the time.
