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.)
