So, I've taked with my friends a few times about this, and they're still bewildered. So, if nothing else comes from this you might have that at least.
There's no other way to introduce this, but... I browse websites, write documents, and most importantly I play video games with the mouse in my left hand.
I know about all left-handers play with the mouse in their right hand. This seems to strike a lot of people, and it only gets worse as I describe exactly how I play.
It hasn't seemed to handicap me -- I'm up to speed with most other people in terms of FPS games, even including ArmA what with its 400 button-commands.
So, does anyone else play like/similarly to this? Any thoughts? Also, one more awful picture coming.
Here's a "drawing" of how I play. It should be noted I do not have stumps for ring and pinkie fingers, its just drawn like that to show that they're curled.

OP here I fucked up.
I wonder how left-handers feel about playing in controllers.
I'm a lefty and I've always been fine with a mouse in my right hand for gaming. If anything, I like playing fighters on a pad with my stronger hand as it gives me finer control on the d-pad for complex inputs.

Does your right hand really look like that
Why don't you just use IJKL?

Feels fine to me. The n64 controller always made me feel awkward though

This is my kind of thread
>Tfw lefty fetish
It's weird, I use my left hand for everything but using a mouse with it feels wrong as fuck.

Yeah I second this question.

I'm a leftie and use my mouse with my right hand.
>gaming made me ambidextrous
Any who says you don't gain anything from video games?
I am left handed. I am able to use my right hand effectively at everything except writing, in which it is just a bit worse. Left handers that are adamant to doing retarded shit (i.e insisting on using their left hand on right hand designed products) are retarded. There is something called adapting which humans are very good at. If I can, then so can you.

ambidextrous and left-handed mice are abundant

I'm right handed, but for quite a few years I had to use the mouse with the left because the wire wasn't long enough. And my god did it feel better. I'd do it again with my desktop computer but the mouse cable is too damn short.
