Index finger Left button/scroll
Middle Finger Right button

25 (born 1981)
First used computer in 1986 or 87 - Apple IIgs, one button mouse
Moved to Macs after that - still one button mice
Had 1 or 2 PCs over the years, but finally moved to PCs permanently in 99. Not sure if my mouse had a wheel at that point.

And as stated above, I use index on left mouse button, middle on center button, ring finger on right mouse button.

You know what's really odd is that I learned to use a mouse upside down. My parents were, quite frankly, retarded. I have no better explanation for why they thought it made sense to use a mouse upside down. Perhaps because they thought the button should be closer to you? I don't know. But once we got used to doing it that way it was just as fast as anyone else using their mouse the right way - and it was hard to switch! We were so used to up being down and down being up and left being right and right being left.

Note to self: call parents and make fun of them.

WTF I never realized people used their index finger for the scrollwheel.

i sometimes use the middle finger for right clicking as well, but its mostly my ring finger.

index.

i tried my middle for the hell of it, and my mouse is far too small to use it comfortably (i use a small logitech with my laptop because i carry it alot of places and dont have much room to use it most of the time)

Looks like Index is the majority I use index too, I also only type with my 2 index fingers, how weird that may sound... Thats why I cant go above 90 wpm lol

i tried to use my middle finger, as it seems like it'd be more efficient... but i'm far too used to using my index finger

I've always used my index finger for the scroll wheel. Then again, I'm left handed so all bets are off.
