I have two computers on my desk at office. One is windows XP and another is Linux. I noticed today (strange but true) that on my linux machine i have been using left handed mouse where as on windows machine i use right handed mouse. I am right handed person (or so i thought for few years).
So now i am using both the hands to do the work. I wonder are there other people who can use their left hand so easily (even if they are right handed).
I'm left handed and always use a righty mouse, its out of respect for those handycapped rightys that can't use a left mouse. Since I'm a one handed typest it gives me the added advantage of using my dominant hand to type with. :D
I play any sports that require two hands (cricket, baseball..) as a leftie and others that only require one had as a rightie (squash, tennis..); although either one or two handed, I can hit both ways around without too much thinking. I can throw either right or left but am better right. I can print & draw left but only write right.
And after all that you would think I could &^%%^$$ well look through the viewfinder with my right eye... but noooo, that would be too easy since I wouldn't have to squash my face against the back of the camera (now either eye would be something really handy). :-)
I ran across somebody that was a rightie but had trained himself to use the mouse in the left hand. Not a bad idea as it helps when one finger typing with the right :-)
I can play table tennis with both hands, sometimes like you might have seen in forest gumps movie (this we do if we are three people and we play doubles, i become partner of myself).
I tried cricket as lefty but it does not work out well with me. I am better playing righty.
Its interesting that so many people here use their other hand.
when I'm playing golf I have a mix of lefties and righthanded clubs :)
I once played a round with left-handed woods and putter, and right-handed irons. I really can't hit any of them worth beans though ... I used to be pretty good at table tennis left-handed -- in college I used to sometimes play switching hands each shot.

I use only one hand for mice, but then again both my computers at work run Linux. ;-) (Actually I have a KVM switch and use only one keyboard/monitor/mouse for both computers, but anyway...)
I do have a friend who writes equally well with both hands, though when she writes with her left hand she writes backwards.
I use my right hand for mice, my left hand for trackpads/nubs (like a laptop) and my left for my Wacom. Whenever I'm using my tablet I usually have one hand on the mouse, one holding the pen, and none on the keyboard. It's pretty nice being able to use both hands like that.

ambidextrous. I think I should have been left-handed but had it schooled out of me when I was wrong. I've attempted to learn to write with my left hand also with promising results.
That said, I use the mouse with both, but primarily left-handed. I used to do data-entry and needed the right hand free for the keypad, so I just put the mouse on the left side because there was more room on the desk. But that's how I use it. But I don't switch the buttons. :)
I am lefty handed, use the mouse on my left - but have the buttons as if it were on my left. I can use it on my right just as easily. I tend to be a bit ambidextrous also.
Aside from mashing my nose into the back of the camera, it's been a PITA when shooting (firearms). I learned to shoot righty by closing my left eye, but having opne eye closed hinders field of vision and depth perception, so I had to learn to shoot lefty.

I'm Left handed and left eye dominant. I eat and write left handed but I do everything else right handed. Play guitar, throw a ball ect. I also have the eye switch dominancy thing. It sucks when shooting
