I'm curious about usability testing as well. I'm also wondering whether
this depends on whether the user was right or left handed, and which
side the mouse is on. For example, if you're a left handed person, or
you keep your mouse on the left side of your keyboard, then it seems to
me that a left-side index would be more convenient and ergonomic.
