small assymetric logitech mouse = index

With my VX, which has a 'handedness' value, I use the middle. A non-ergonomic mice, usually index.

 

[sandorski]

LMB-Index
Wheel-Index
RMB-Index

 

[Alone]

I catch myself doing both.

 

[SilthDraeth]

I use my left hand for scrolling and left mouse clicks, and my right hand for the right mouse click. I have a large mouse.

 

[dabuddha]

Index finger.

 

[uhohs]

index always.

some of us got use to mouses before the scroll wheel was invented.
index for left click, middle for right click.

 

[Canai]

Index.

 

[clamum]

Wow I'm sorta surprised so many use their index finger.

For me,
Index: LMB
Middle: Scroll button
Ring: RMB

 

[dethman]

index rules.

 

[Dualist]

For the poll, my index finger.

 

[Dacalo]

I use both, but usually middle.

 

[Chronoshock]

I alternate

 

[Jeff7]

Middle or index, whichever happens to be closest.

Seems more efficient to me than using one finger for double duty
(I use the scroll wheel a lot, as well as the middle mouse button for opening new tabs in FireFox)

freak! that is so uncomfortable to me...lol
my midde finger stays on the right button and my index finger goes back and forth between left mouse button and scroll wheel

It seems I'm an oddball. But that's the case in a lot of ways when it comes to mice. I just use a bottom of the barrel Logitech Optical Wheel Mouse. It's not ergonomically shaped, it's not wireless, it doesn't have any extra buttons - and I like it like that. I have about 10 of these mice one for each of our PCs and laptops (as well as work PCs), and a few spares just in case. I had an MX700 when the MX700 was the best mouse on the market, but I prefer my plain-jane mouse. I don't use any kind of space-age mousing surface either - and old school squishy fabric mouse pad for me. And I don't need any kind of fancy lazor-mice either.

For those who use middle finger, how old are you or when did you first learn to use a mouse? I use my index finger. I think its becasue I learned to use a mouse before it had a scroll wheel on it.

Index finger Left button/scroll
Middle Finger Right button

Our first computer was when I was in fifth grade... so that was like 1993/1994. So I was about 11.
