Is there any good reason to use a mouse left handed?

Hey, guys. So I am a lefty. I write left handed, I play sports left handed and I do pretty much everything left handed. However, I have always used my mouse right handed. I've just never tried using it in my left hand. So my question is, have any of you lefties found any advantage for left handed people to use their mouse left handed or should I just stick to what I'm used to? I suppose it would be useful just to be used to right handed mice so that I don't have to buy ambidextrous mice, but what ever. Thanks!

Use what feels natural, it's like right handed people (i.e. me) who skate/surf/snowboard goofy footed.

Do whatever your most comfortable with. If you think you can do better with your left then change, if you think your fine the way you are then whats the point?

I'm left handed, using a mouse right handed has always felt natural to me.

 

Also I'm curious, how would left handed gaming work, especially with the WASD keys, it must feel kinda awkward, right?

I have a friend who games left-handed, he ALWAYS complains about having to remap the keys, and sometimes just uses his XBox 360 controller, to save rebinding all the keys.

I have to do that too, and some games are not re-bindeble, reccomend him AutoHotKey, it lets you rebind all keys and make profiles (scripts)

Well for most games I guess you could just rebind them to what ever you think would be the left handed equivalent.
