There was a really annoying trend in the PS3/360 era where PC ports would say "Press Enter to continue" on their title screens, which was really obnoxious since you'd have to take your right hand off the mouse to press enter.

What about your left

That brings your hand across the keyboard meridian. This puts undue rotational stress on your spine, thereby giving you arthritis, reducing mobility in later life and eventually killing you.

The numpad Enter key is always a good one though tbf.

I don't know which option to choose in the poll... I press "B" when playing handheld but "A" when playing docked because the button positions on the controllers are different.

I press a different button every time, to see if it really does mean "any button". It invariably doesn't mean that, and has a set few buttons in mind, but I test it out.
