HellzAngelz OP t1_irr4wct wrote

I think most lefthanded people use right handed mice because 90% of mice are right handed

My dad is left-handed and does a lot of things with his right "because it's a right hander's world, son".

Same here. Have tried using my left hand at one point when l was getting RSI, couldn't do it. Changed to a different mouse instead and continued with right hand!

My friend right click to jump, backward scroll wheel to melee, button 4 on thumb position to secondary action.

What caused you to use the mouse left handed in the first place?

HellzAngelz OP t1_irr4m97 wrote

I'm not really sure... I grew up using old p4 computers on sketchy tables/desks, and I've always just had it set up left handed

Couple questions: What recommendations do you have for left handed mice? Do companies usually make mirrored versions of their mice for left handed mice users, or are you mostly forced into symmetrical mice?

Do you still use WASD for gaming (I assume you game based on your peripherals and the fact that you put stock in accuracy and speed), or do you remind controls for your right hand? Thanks!

I've usually just used ambidextrous mice - g903, steelseries sensei, etc. There was like ONE dedicated ergonomic left handed mouse by razer, the deathadder but that was years ago and it broke in traditional razer fashion

Yeah I use WASD, and change controls to use my thumb for ctrl-crouch/whatever.

Anything else you do switcheroo?

HellzAngelz OP t1_irr3s4x wrote

No, it's literally the only thing I do left handed... what's even stranger is that I play the violin, so you'd think I'd be better with my right hand as far as accuracy goes

But the right hand is for the bow, the left hand is for the strings. It's really interesting because my first instrument was violin and I also use my mouse left-handed.

HellzAngelz OP t1_irr7wq4 wrote

yeah, but I require finer control on pressure and speed of the stroke than with my left hand

What's weird is that I've had really serious carpal tunnel in my left hand before, since at one point in my life I was practicing for 6+ hours a day, and I'm pretty sure using my mouse lefthanded didn't help at all with that

Does the mouse approve?

P.s I'm a left handed person and I don't use a mouse.

Are you telepathic? or do you use your arrow keys to move the cursor? or maybe all voice commands?

Do you have the buttons set for left handed or right handed mode? I am a lefty who uses the mouse with my left hand, but I keep the buttons on right handed mode.

Ambidextrous?

HellzAngelz OP t1_irr4i9d wrote

Nope. As right handed as one can be

NicNoletree t1_irr5pad wrote

Well a "right handed as one can be" kind of person wouldn't use the mouse with their left hand.

nickkom t1_irr4bq4 wrote

My mom was left handed and when I used the family computer I learned to use the mouse with my left hand and still do to this day.

Are we the only other ones?

You're like my dad from the mirror universe. He's a lefty but mouses and throws darts with his right. Is there anything else you do with your left that other right handed people do with their right?

I actually did once at LHR! I got really engrossed in shopping, and bought too much crap, so I bought a suitcase from tumi and had it checked
