I do sometimes do that, though not that often. It's easy enough with buttons and most icons, but tricky with the CAD, as many movements are quite fine. I have been known simultaneously to use two mice to control two PCs, but whatever you do don't tell any women that, as we blokes are supposed to be incapable of multi-tasking. I wouldn't want to risk puncturing any illusions. Incidentally, that vertical mouse, which has been helping a lot, is "Ambidextrous". It has a switch that swaps all the function from side to side. The friction on the desk is a little high for fine work and the mouse-wheel is a bit jumpy. When I first used it, I also had a tendency to try to use it like a normal mouse, but I'm used to it now. I easily swap between different devices. There are also some things called "roll-bar mice" that look like they should be very good, but they rather hurt the wallet, so I haven't (yet?) tried one.
