I grew up where everyone assumed I was right handed or told me I was holding thing incorrectly. Just about the only thing I do left handed is write. All my friends just assume because I write left handed that all these other things, like throwing, would just come naturally to me. That not the way it works bud. No kid just naturally can throw a ball with either hand, they have to learn and practice to do it. All this to say, I use a mouse with my right hand because all mice at the time I was learning computers were designed for right handed people. The schools didn’t have left handed mice like they did with scissors. Oh yeah, I can’t cut with my left hand either.

Wait I’m confused, where’s the “hentai”? Why is this marked nsfw?

anyways, when I decided to go for a lefty mouse I also decided to switch the buttons to be left handed, you can do it in windows settings

when I use someone else’s computer It’s weird at first but I readjust quickly

Far too late to switch fingers now. Even went through 2 left handed MMO razer nagas where I struggled with the side panel and switched back to middle finger for primary. (they're shit, break by looking at them wrong.)

I use a mouse with my left hand, but a right handed button configuration.

I do the same but switched to an Azeron keypad for right hand because WASD just doesn't work well with right hand.

I do the same, and every time I have to rebind controls in a new game I desperately wish I just learned to mouse right-handed as a kid.

I used to be all over the map with switching the buttons around when one would start double clicking, but at the time I didn't realize that the wrist pain I was experiencing would only flare up when I was primarily clicking with my middle finger.

Being a mouse lefty is other worldly to me, all my schools and other places where we had computers had their mouse on the right and that's how I learned it!!

I click quicker with my index finger and it also hurts less over time. This is only for gaming though. I also find it's easier to click when not holding my middle finger down, e.g. for shooting down sight, so I'm toggling aim instead of holding more and more these days.

I use a right handed mouse, I tried left handed before and I'm crap at it. I have such high accuracy with the right handed one, even though they are now wireless, so the main problem I had when I started using computers is even gone.
