Can't say I've ever thought about it but I am quite used to being a left hander in a right handed world (and play right handed). The first PCs I used were shared and I got fed up with moving the mouse over to the other side of the keyboard. In time, I found operating it right handed works to my advantage - I can point and click as needed quite easily with my right hand while keeping my left free for more difficult tasks such as taking notes with a pen.

I'm left-handed as well, and have always hated remapped buttons. I use the mouse left-handed, but my middle finger clicks button-1 (left), while my index finger spends most of its time on the scroll wheel. Ah, well, I play right-handed guitars left-handed without restringing, too. To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
