I hope somebody would agree with me on this

At work, we have expensive office furniture.  Everyone sits on a $600.00 Herman Miller office chair. I am saving money so I can buy one for my home office.

Then I have this under the desk keyboard tray. This keyboard tray has a built-in mouse pad.  It looks like this. This may look very typical to most people, but it doesn’t make sense to me. 

With above setting, my right hand must move down to grab my mouse.  This doesn’t make sense.  The mouse must be raised up a little so it will be at the same level as the keyboard. 

Something like this (below)

This is how I setup my mouse at both work & home office.  I raised up my mouse pad slightly.  I find this the only way to setup my mouse.

Also, I put my mouse pad right next to the keyboard, so I am able to click Enter key with my thumb while I’m operating mouse.

I don’t want my mouse too far away from my keyboard.
I want my mouse leveled with my keyboard.
