I use the traditional method of dits with the thumb of my right hand. Back in the paper logging days, I learned to send with my left hand, reversing the two connections, so dits were still with my (left) thumb. That way I could write with my right hand at the same time as sending my left hand - a skill not unlike learning SO2R.
BTW, most modern keyers have a REV command, so you can reverse the dot/dash paddles without rewiring it, turning it around or upside down. In my experience, using many paddles over the years, the Benchers are among the worst. My favorites are N3ZN and Begali. My opinion, of course (and no financial interest in any paddle mfr.)
