How do left handers use computer mouse

Which hand do use to control your computer mouse? Most computers are set up by default to have the mouse on the right. This can be useful for left-handers if you are taking notes or writing while you are also using the mouse as you can do so with your left hand.


On the other hand (!) most left-handers have better fine control with their left hand so would prefer to have the mouse on the left. Some lefties just put the mouse on the left and leave the buttons set at their default, with the main "clicking" button still being the left one and using it with their middle finger (this does not apply to Apple Macs which do not have 2 mouse buttons).

It is more common to actually switch the mouse buttons over so the left index finger is still doing the main clicking and this can easily be done in Windows...
Start / Settings / Control Panel / Mouse /
and on the Buttons Tab tick the box for "Switch primary and secondary buttons"

Did you also discover the existence of the Mediterranean Sea or what? This has been around since Windows 3.1 before it was even an OS unto itself? You found out just yesterday or what?

And yes, many lefties won't do this, they're accustomed to using different fingers.
