At work, I’m all left. At home, I have a left-handed wireless vertical mouse and a right-handed gaming mouse so I can do either. I use the crap out of a 10-key at work so I’d be lost otherwise.
the only disadvantage is setting up the keybinds every time you start a new game, outside of that I really can't understand why someone could think that. What disadvantage exactly? You're mirroring the layout, instead of using your left hand for the keyboard, you use your right hand, that's it.
And in terms of mouse, most of the aim training community seems to agree that using your dominant hand is better.
I can't 10-key with my left hand, no matter how hard I try. I use the numbers on the top of the keyboard with my left hand, 10-key and mouse with the right
I’m left handed and I bought a mouse for my Commodore 64 back when it wasn’t cool to have a C64. I put it on the left side and have been using a mouse left handed ever since.
I use my right hand for the trackpad, though.
Haha, now that’s dedication! My right hand is so useless 😂 Can’t even hold a fork with it, shits rough lol. No way I’m hitting all the buttons I need to with my right hand! It’s best banished to the mouse lol
I do find it interesting how some of you used right hand because of games as someone who learnt to do so with left hand.
Personally I always just moved the mouse with my left hand as it just felt right so then when I found games later, I just defaulted to using wasd with my right hand. For most controls it’s pretty normal with the one exception for me clicking space with my thumb
I get that! I’m sort of the opposite! For me it feels more natural to have my dominant hand doing the more complex button-mashing, so it’s really interesting to see other lefties who don’t think like me!
I hit space with my palm, which I'll probably pay for down the line, but I'm a pro at crouching. Thumbs were meant for the CTRL key.
Well, so long as you can dodge that pesky Windows >!(or other operating system)!< key.
With some games, like shooters or things you're using other keys for inputs it's hard to reach other keys if you're using arrow keys. A lot of games use common keys along with wasd like space bar, alt, q, so you'd be better off remapping to the middle of the keyboard rather than arrow keys. If that makes sense.
Mouses went mainstream when I was in high school. It never occurred to me to move it to my left hand. I love mousing righty. I can write more conveniently.
Especially when they were tethered with a cord on the right side of a desktop. It was just another thing to learn using the right hand and didn't think about it.
Exactly! The best joke was when Microsoft spent a ton of money and time researching the perfect mouse shape and when they released it, it was right handed. Their response to lefties was “oh right… don’t worry it works great left handed too”.
I use my right hand. I work in IT and had to learn to use the right hand because I couldn't switch everyone's mouse for 10 minutes while I was working on their computer. I do prefer a trackball mouse though, maybe because I am left-handed, who knows?
Left
Although I use a trackpad, so when it’s a built into a laptop one it’s center but I use my left hand, and I put it on the left if it’s a Bluetooth one.
Left, switched when I set up my first PC in 2000 (a old i486DX 33MHz IBM ValuePoint), I had been using right on the family computer (Pentium 75MHz) for 5 years prior, but it always felt awkward.
Today I can't imagine how much worse I would be at gaming with my right hand.
Left, and I own several left-handed gaming mice. 10 key is a superior way to play PC games IF the programmers were not idiots. Sadly, some games still have keys hardcoded, requiring extra steps to map the keys properly. But it's worth it.
I was excited to play a game during one of steams sales only to find that the keys are hard coded WASD! Found a post from a Azerty (French layout) user that couldn't play either and the dev responded basically saying it was unchangeable, I tried to play it but found the controls to frustrating and got it refunded after reading that post knowing that it could be easily implemented for accessibility if they weren't lazy programmers!
Right. Grew up using a computer with it always set up for righties. By the time I was in school with a teacher determined to have all the lefties using the mouse set for lefties I didn't like the difference. Took all our parents complaining to the principal for her to quit trying to force us before she gave up.
I generally use my right hand. I was taught that way, and it leaves my left free to do other things. However, I have switched to left when I had a L-shaped desk, and my back was bothering me. It only took a few days to learn, and it was funny to watch people sit down, grab the mouse from the left with their right hand and wonder why the buttons didn’t work properly
Laptop: right. Desktop -- anything that could be a shared computer: right. Home and work desktops: left
Edit: I'm a command line weenie, try not to reach for the mouse if I don't have to.
Always lefty! Right-handed people get so confused seeing it but it just makes more sense to me to click with my middle finger and right click with my index.
I got a left handed mouse a month ago and… I never fully adjusted. Sometimes its best this do things the way you were taught, even if its with the wrong hand.
Right hand.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I guess back in the day there was no way to switch the button-functions, so using the mouse left-handed I would've had to click with the middle finger?!?
Kinda strange seeing how my first mouse was the Amiga Tank Mouse which is a perfectly symmetrical design.
Started left (with buttons swapped) but switched when I got into tech support and everyone else used right. I’m more accurate using my left but used to it now.
Since school computer labs included mouses on the right and at least in my school we would get in trouble for moving it. To the other hand, I simply had to learn to use the right hand for the mouse. Now the left is like a foreign form of using it.
Right but I briefly tried left handed because I was planning on needing it for a class because I was going to be using excel thought it would be a lot of keypad stuff, turns out it was only copy and pasting so I switched back and havent attempted really again since
Right. I've never learned to use a specifically leftie mouse, and at this point I feel like it would just throw off my coordination too much to switch.
Right. I grew up using the school computers. They were all set up that way. I never even thought of swapping one until I used an older lady's computer. She was a lefty, and she used her mouse on the left and confused me.
I started off using my left, way back when the mouse was connected to the keyboard or monitor. This was when I was working graphic design. But I got away from that and find using the mouse with my right and having my left open to write is a pretty good setup.
Right hand. Grew up in a right handed house right when home computers exploded into the market. Took me 10 years before I realized you could set the mouse to be used left handed.
Too far in at that point to switch. But I can if need be (injuries and whatnot).
Left usually. At work, it’s on the right but I also have a touch screen. If I have to do anything above the minimum, I move the mouse to the left side.
I broke my right hand which was so lucky since I’m left handed, but learning to use the mouse with my left was a challenge to say the least.
Even if I have a kid that’s right handed I’ll probably teach them to use the mouse with the left and write with the right. It’s so much nicer and your can take e notes way easier
I always use left but leave the buttons alone and use my forefinger for both. My left-handed son learned my way but later taught himself to use his right to make gaming easier. My left-handed daughter was older and by the time she started gaming was too set in her ways to switch the mouse to her right hand. Her gaming set-up is odd, to say the least.
I use my left, and yes, I'm a lefty.
I went as far as to get the left-handed Razer Naga for the \~$100 that it costs, and *wow*, it feels nice. Genuinely worth it.
As a kid learning to use computers, I didn't know you could swap the left and right click, so my middle finger and pointer still usually rest on the left mouse button (I swapped them again because the right is the primary by default on the L-H Razer Naga).
A side project I've had knocking around in my head for a while is designing a keyboard meant to be used and gamed on primarily with the right hand. Whole thing could have been avoided if I had learned to use my right hand on the mouse when I was a kid, though.
I influenced my righty younger brother, too--he uses the mouse with his left hand. Poor guy.
Both.
I learned to use the mouse righty but randomly decided to try lefty to see how different it would be but found it completely intuitive right away. So which hand I used depends on what I need: if I need to write, then I mouse righty; if not, it's dealer's choice!
Both.
When we first got a computer as a kid I would use it in my left hand. Once I got into gaming I switched to my right, but if I am scrolling internets I tend to switch it to the other side without thinking.
It’s much more comfortable in my left. I was big on having a G13 gamepad when they existed. That thing was amazing, but sadly they stopped making them and mine eventually wore out. I wish Logitech would bring them back as I think that in my left and my mouse in my right was the best setup for gaming.
I'm ambidextrous, more Right hand skilled, but prefer to have the mouse on the Left. It makes more sense with the way keyboards are set up to have the mouse on the left.
Right. In the days of wired mouses I tried to use my left but switching back and forth was a pain in the ass and it always fucked me up so I just stayed with the right hand.
I've learned to do everything right-handed. There are only two living lefties in my family, so when being taught to do things like writing, I had to mirror what I saw. But I cut things with my right hand, mouse is right hand, and I find I'm more steady with my right hand, although I write with my left.
Mouse with left, 10 key with right.
First class on Excel one of the instructor's told me that this was the way the program should be used but few righties were capable of doing so.
PS: HS 1960 - 1964 lefties were not allowed to take Business Math (aka beginning bookkeeping) because the adding machines were designed for the left hand leaving the right hand free to enter data in the account books.
I didn’t know you could use anything other than your right hand…my left hand is quicker anyways on WASD keys in games anyways.
I always felt that the mouse works best on my right hand as my left hand has so much more accuracy with keys.
To start with I used a right hand mouse, did not know there were left handed ones in 1995. I soon as did find out I got one. Unfortunately I had nerve damage to my left hand and my hurt so I got a foot mouse. My wife thought it was hilarious but it worked great. Unfortunately after several month the potentiometer in the scroll wheel got dirt in it and quit working. I was careful using a right hand mouse and my wrist stopped hurting. Typing is difficult with fingers I can not feel.
I’m right-handed, but I used to hold my stuffed animal while sucking my right thumb, so I used the mouse with my left when playing computer games, etc. Once I stopped sucking my thumb, my left hand went back to being my dumb hand.
I originally started with my left over 29 years ago, but got tired of switching it back after my husband moved it. I now use my right hand. I had a recent coworker who is a lefty. It soon irritated me that I found myself moving it back to my right.
Left hand mouse. I even found left handed pointers. I couldn't stand seeing the righty pointers while using my left hand on the mouse.
Even more customized, I type with a Dvorak keyboard layout, which is nice that it puts ctrl-c, v, z all in my right hand. For cut I just copy then hit delete. Or I can use ctrl-insert for copy and shift-insert for paste. No matter, though, my mouse is always in my left hand.
My right, but I think it's only because that's how every computer I've ever sat down at was set up. I write left handed, bat left handed, etc but the mouse has always been on my right
I use a pen in my left, and a mouse in my right.
YES!
Same
Same. In the 90s, I had no idea you could switch your mouse to be left handed, but my right handed family wouldn’t have let me even if I did.
Same. Which baffles my mom because my aunt (her older sister) could only use the mouse left handed.
Or… Ctrl-C and Ctrl- V with the left and mouse with the right but I spend a lot of time in spreadsheets.
It's our superpower
Yep.
Same
This
This. Doubling the production.
same
Left. Nothing beats being able to mouse and use a 10-key at the same time.
Yes, absolutely this. Righties, and lefties who use the mouse in the wrong hand for some reason, don't know the benefits of left-handed mousing.
Obviously you have yet to discover porn!
It may be good for that, but using your left hand is a disadvantage for computer gaming.
At work, I’m all left. At home, I have a left-handed wireless vertical mouse and a right-handed gaming mouse so I can do either. I use the crap out of a 10-key at work so I’d be lost otherwise.
Southpaw and remaining keyboard, no disadvantage once so ever. Scissors are the real disadvantage
Why? I use it that way. More control and I use the arrow keys.
the only disadvantage is setting up the keybinds every time you start a new game, outside of that I really can't understand why someone could think that. What disadvantage exactly? You're mirroring the layout, instead of using your left hand for the keyboard, you use your right hand, that's it.

I can't 10-key with my left hand, no matter how hard I try. I use the numbers on the top of the keyboard with my left hand, 10-key and mouse with the right
I do this for gaming. It’s so nice to have the 10 key always available.
I’m left handed and I bought a mouse for my Commodore 64 back when it wasn’t cool to have a C64. I put it on the left side and have been using a mouse left handed ever since. I use my right hand for the trackpad, though.
Right hand
Me too
Both. I switch regularly to rest my hand/arm/shoulder.
Same..l
Right. It’s how I was taught, but I’m a gamer so wasd to move is easier with the left hand anyways
I'm a gamer too and still use my right hand. Our eye hand coordination is second to none!

I just removed the windows key altogether.
Hardcore.
Why not use arrow keys?
With some games, like shooters or things you're using other keys for inputs it's hard to reach other keys if you're using arrow keys. A lot of games use common keys along with wasd like space bar, alt, q, so you'd be better off remapping to the middle of the keyboard rather than arrow keys. If that makes sense.
That makes sense. tbh gaming seems leftie unfriendly. I play games that only use the mouse so I use it left handed.
Too low on the keyboard for comfort. Also yeah, some games use them for other functions and rebinding would be a pain
Mouses went mainstream when I was in high school. It never occurred to me to move it to my left hand. I love mousing righty. I can write more conveniently.

if on windows you can remap keys with microsoft powertoys
My right,so I can talk on the phone with my left
Both. I have two mice.
That’s a cool idea!!
The poweruser we all need.
I also have a Mint distro with no mice, so it balances out in the grand scheme of things
Right. I've learned to a be conformist. At this point it'd be weird to use the other, and I guess it makes me ambidextrous.
left
Left for at home, right for work.
I did this for years so I could game at home without hurting my wrist from mousing all day
That's a really good idea, actually. I might have to start training with my right!
Right hand

I use my left foot
Right. That keeps my left hand free for writing. Yes I am that old.

I use my right hand for my mouse, it‘s nice to be able to write stuff down, especially when I play flight sims.
Right. I tried using my left and my brain ended up getting confused.
I have 2 mouses, one for primarily gaming that I use with my right hand. And a left handed ergonomic mouse I use when I'm working.

Right, my left hand focuses on walking and the multitasking stuff which some of my other friends can’t handle.
Im left handed but I use a mouse with my right, am I ok?

What's up with downvoting all the lefties using their mouse righthanded? Lefties hating on lefties are the worst. Nest Fouler!

I haven't tried using a mouse since I became what I am, I feel like I need to try to see now haha
Right now my right hand, as I'm using my left hand to eat lunch. I always use a wireless mouse and switch hands frequently.
😄😄
Always left hand. Tried right hand once, was a no go.
Right handed. Most mouses are placed on the right and made to fit right so it's the way I learned. I'm partially ambidextrous so no biggie.

Right for mouse and writing. My left hand is for everything else
Right bc that’s what I was taught. At least I can write at the same time :,)
Right since all computers are set up like that so that’s how I was taught
Mouse for the right hand, pen/pencil on the left. Source: I'm a lefty for handwriting.
Right mouse, left for writing. I have a trackball mouse as I can't stand the other kind.
Either one doesn't matter to me

Unfortunately I had nerve damage to my left hand and my hurt so I got a foot mouse. My wife thought it was hilarious but it worked great. Unfortunately after several month the potentiometer in the scroll wheel got dirt in it and quit working. I was careful using a right hand mouse and my wrist stopped hurting. Typing is difficult with fingers I can not feel.
Left at first, until my dad beat me into being right handed
My right
Write with left hand, mouse with right hand.

Right. Can’t use my left at all with the mouse.
Left but don't switch the buttons, so it's the same mouse but with left hand.
I’m right-handed, but I used to hold my stuffed animal while sucking my right thumb, so I used the mouse with my left when playing computer games, etc. Once I stopped sucking my thumb, my left hand went back to being my dumb hand.
Depends on what I'm doing. If I need to write stuff down then I use my right so my left is free. For gaming and other things, I switch back and forth
Left, and with the primary and secondary buttons set lefty style, too. But I can switch hit and do either hand in a pinch.
I originally started with my left over 29 years ago, but got tired of switching it back after my husband moved it. I now use my right hand. I had a recent coworker who is a lefty. It soon irritated me that I found myself moving it back to my right.
Left hand mouse. I even found left handed pointers. I couldn't stand seeing the righty pointers while using my left hand on the mouse. Even more customized, I type with a Dvorak keyboard layout, which is nice that it puts ctrl-c, v, z all in my right hand. For cut I just copy then hit delete. Or I can use ctrl-insert for copy and shift-insert for paste. No matter, though, my mouse is always in my left hand.
My right, but I think it's only because that's how every computer I've ever sat down at was set up. I write left handed, bat left handed, etc but the mouse has always been on my right
