On the other hand (ha!) you lose access to navigational keys that are typically used when you're "mousing", changing between apps/tabs and screens - e.g. alt-tab, ESC, alt-w, alt-q, alt-F4, meta-shortcuts, etc.
I noticed that I use the right keys - enter, backspace, delete, etc - mostly when I'm typing, so I want my two hands in the keyboard anyway.
For me the mouse on the right side is the best combination.
