Lefties: Do you hold your mouse with your right or left hand?

[Titi]

I'm left handed and I've had comments of people around me various times being surprised that I use my right hand to hold my computer mouse. I always have, it just seems more natural to me, I dunno?
I can't really do well with a mouse in my left hand.
I'm wondering if other lefties also use their right hand or if some use their left.

edit: Wow I Typo'd the poll.

Yeah, I'm a leftie too, but I use my right hand for a lot of things xD

I would say i'm ambidextrous, but I think you have to "equal" in everything, or something like that.

Right-hand. Most computers are typically set-up with the mouse on the right, so it's habit I guess? Never thought of using it with my left hand. I don't use a mouse anyway unless I'm using a college / library computer. Or if using my Dad's PC, and his is shaped in a way that only really fits the right hand.

Yeah, I suppose with computers it just feels too awkward to use your left hand, so nobody does?
But then again, you could say the same thing about pencils (being too awkward smudging the ink while writing) So I dunno.

Yea, i'm a lefty. And I too use a mouse for my right hand, I used to but now I just use a laptop.

[Brad]

My right. Even though I'm left handed, holding my mouse in the left hand just feels.... wrong.

 

[Nova452]

Im a righty

 

[Leopardfire]

I use my right-hand. I occasionally use my left, though.

 

[rivulet]

umm i dont have a mouse

 

[420blazeityoloswag4jesus]

I'm a lefty, but I use my right hand for almost everything but writing.

Not the case for computer mouse though, I may have just adapted to using my right hand for the mouse.

( yeas bumping a ollllld thread ) lefty here, I can't see anyone EVER using left hand on the the mouse

 

[Soigne]

I mean is there an option to invert the left and right click on mice? Because if not, using your left hand...will be extra annoying.

God damn it. I didn't see that this was 3 years old.

 

[oath2order]

I'm right handed. But I can use my left hand somewhat. But I can't use my mouse with it

 

[visibleghost]

ik this thread is super old but i feel like i need 2 defend using ur mouse w your left hand, it isnt as ungldly and horrible as people seem to think !!!
im left handed and have alwayssss held the mouse with my left hand. i seriously can't comfortably use my right hand, when i try i keep missing what im trying to click, my hand feels uncomfortable, i clock the wrong mouse buttons and everything just Sucks.
playing games gets annoying sometimes but changing shortcuts is a thing (though it kind of sucks because the right side of the keyboard doesnt have as many keys and theyre farther apart.) and i don't mind having to almost have my arms crossed when i need to open the inventory or something.

I write with my left hand, and I figure skate like a lefty (meaning I spin to the right). I also eat with my fork in my left hand, but every thing else I do (throw a ball, hold a drink, etc) is with my right hand, including using a computer mouse!
