i'm right-handed, but i just changed my mouse location to the left side of my keyboard....so my left hand gets to navigate/maneuver for about a day. i probably do this, hmmm, maybe once a month or so...no particular reason really, just like changing gears every once in awhile. any one else do this...or am i the only oddball?

I have an MX1000...that would be rather awkward, as it's righty-specific.

Anytime I try I become instantly enraged that my left hand doesn't work as well as my right. It's supposed to help reduce carpal tunnel but I'm never patient enough to stick with it.

at the office - left hand
at home - right hand (except playing games which is done with my left)

I swing both ways (wait a minute... I use the mouse both ways..), but I'm MUCH more comfortable doing it with my right hand.

I'm good with either hand for most things...but I write left handed, throw right handed, eat left handed but can also eat right handed(examples)...I use the mouse with whatever hand is closer at the time.

No... I'm left handed and it stays in the right hand. Plus it's a mouse designed to fit in your right hand.

I've used my work mouse with my left hand (symmetrical mouse) but only a few times and that was because I was on the phone and holding it with my right hand.

I am left handed. I usually navigate right handed. Most mice these days are made for right handed people, and I sometimes use other people's computers doing maintenance or using then as OISs. I can't seem to game with a right handed mouse though. So my computer at home has the mouse on the left side, my work computer has it on the right hadn side.

I've tried it once or twice for the hell of it, but why bother? I'm right-handed so my left-hand is weak and imprecise, which isn't helpful at all. I'd have to remap my two buttons and forget about using the keyboard. Oh, and my new G5 is molded for righties...
