Should left-handers use the mouse in their left or right hand?

Question

Accepted Answer

Either works. Many left-handers learned to mouse right-handed and are fully comfortable. If you prefer left-hand mousing, use an ambidextrous mouse and swap primary and secondary click buttons in your OS settings. The advantage of left-hand mousing: your dominant hand is on the mouse for precision while your right hand handles keyboard shortcuts.
