Ambidextrous here. Depends on mood, lighting, proximity to food/drank.

Iā€™m left handed but Iā€™ve always had to use a computer the right handed way. My parents at one point had bought me a left handed mouse when I was younger but it felt weird to me so I went right back to the normal way.

Iā€™ve also adapted to crocheting the right handed way as thatā€™s the only way my mom could teach me. And the same when I was trying to learn guitar ages ago.

Itā€™s weird because growing up I would get a lot of comments (mostly from adults) that the way I hold things or do things looks painful or backwards when I use my left hand to do them. Iā€™m the only one in my entire family, close and extended that is a lefty. My boyfriend is left handed as well but does a lot with his right including his mouse.

I am a member of the left handed master race, yes.

I use the mouse in the right hand as most do.

Iā€™m right handed with most things. However, I do use a left handed screwdriver.

Yes. I used to take the pages out to keep being able to write comfortably.

But why arenā€™t we talking about how everything smudges :sob: in my English classes in high school we were required to write in pen. Super frustrating when it always smeared.

That is a win for the day! Iā€™ve got to stop drinking water, Red Bull or coffee when reading these boards. Youā€™re going to see on Google news some guy drowned reading the WoW GD Boards. :rofl::rofl:

Iā€™m left handed and have my mouse to the right of my keyboard, having it on the left just feels wrong.

then again, Iā€™m pretty much just left handed in name only, I pretty much only write left handed then do everything else right.

Iā€™m right handed, but I control my mouse with my left hand so I can use the right for my action bar.

29

Iā€™m corrie-fisted. I use a gamepad with my left, mouse with right.

Letā€™s not speak of scissorsā€¦

Such is the price of greatness.

(Also, you can put a piece of scrap paper under your hand to reduce smudging.)

Check out the Leftorium in the Springfield Mall. Ned Flanders is the proprietor.

I luckily found pens that I love that donā€™t smudge so I no longer have that issue. Itā€™s nice

Gotta love the G13

We are the master race .

We can adapt to use a right handed mouse .

Try putting a left handed mouse on a right handed persons desk and just watch the panic ensue.

lol, I am left handed and I never knew these were evil. whatā€™s the problem with them.

36

Was awkward at first trying to coordinate because they were usually set up for a right handed people. It was comical trying to cross your left hand over to turn the crank while holding the pencil w/ your right.

I eventually grew accustomed to doing most things w/ right hand as well as my left.

You do! I love mine. I still canā€™t believe that Logitech discontinued it and did not offer a replacement.

Yoshi P., of FF fame, uses one as well and was so distraught that he got a company to make a replacement for him. Iā€™ll leave the link here for anyone whoā€™s G13 finally gives up the ghost.

I played for a long time with the g13 and a logitech thumbball mouse for years then it died and went to the razor naga but never really got a feel for it so I went on to Amazon and found a wired thumb mouse from another company and it feels so much better to play .

Between the main mouse buttons and the thumb joystick on the g13 as well as the thumb ball turns are so much quicker and more fluid.
