Well, I'm basically left-handed (writing, soccer, eat, drink), but when using computers, I use the mouse with my right-hand, just a mirror copy of you!

My left hand is still very useful to write some notes on blockpaper at the left side.

I suppose I started using mouse with my right hand, because first pictures of computer mice I saw in 1986-1987, exploited every mouse located on the right side on the keyboard. I started using the mouse with such hand only because I was convinced by those images.

At now, after 16 years of mousemoving, I can't use my left hand almost at all. My colleagues insist on using both the hands with the mouse, because many of them had some headaches and back and neck issues caused by wrong desk sitting.
