i'm a leftie and i'm just curious of how you guys use your mouse

 

i just got myself a Roccat Kova+ since my lachesis died (rip in piece) and looking at the settings, the leftie mouse setting swaps left and right click. is that normal? i've always used the "right hand buttons" and it is second nature to me as i dont right click even nearly as much as i left click

 

thoughts?

I'm right handed myself, but i do know a couple of left handed people, 2 guys i know actually switched the mouse buttons and use IJKL instead of WASD for gaming, which seems the most efficient way for lefties to me.

I'm a lefty but I use my right hand for everything other than writing (wink wink ;)) (so would that be considered a righty or lefty or inbetweenie???)

I'm a leftie (and partially ambidextrous) and I use the PC the same way a right handed person does...

Friend of mine is a lefty but he just uses the mouse right handed. He got used to it fairly quickly from what he says. I HAVE tried out of curiosity to use my mouse left handed and besides messing up the buttons it does seem to work out, just can't quite play Starcraft :P

I am ambidextrous and use a right handed mouse. Ny left hand is more accurate, so I have been thinking about switching.

I think you can bind them again if it bothers you. My leftie friend has SteelSeries Sensei and he said that it has options for both left and right hander users. He likes to use right handed option but it also makes hes fingers tired in longer uses.
