Just wondering how many lefties we have here, and do you use your mouse in your left or right hand?

How do you find using your mouse in your right hand if you do?

I am a leftie, and use my mouse in my right hand, have done for the last ten years.

I'm a leftie as well, although I've always used a mouse with my right hand. I know they have mice for lefties, but I'm pretty sure I'm just better with my right hand at this point.

I was ambidextrous as a child, shifted a little right throughout the decades. I use the mouse on the right side on two of my PCs (including the gamer rig) and on the left on the third one.

Yeah, handedness is not simple black-or-white. I do most things with my left-hand but use computer mice with my right hand. I can use mice left-handed with no problems but I've gotten used to how computers are setup everywhere else, so I set it up the same way. Using food utensils is one of the few other activities which I'm more right-handed though I used to be more left-handed for that when I was a child.
