You learned to write left-handed? Geez, I'd just type everything up until my arm healed enough. I can't imagine getting my left arm to function at anything. I usually drop fragile things with my left hand. Then again, I drop a lot of fragile things with my right hand, too. I'm a huge klutz, and having a non-funtional right arm would make me a walking disaster.

I'm right handed when I write but I'm left handed for alot of other things. Although my left arm is weaker than my right.

i think i'm closer to 5hfifty with this. I write/draw with my right hand, but swap between the two for anything else. Although, my hand eye co-ordinaiton is a bit better with my right hand. (thank you, ball & cup)

Can you operate the mouse with your left hand?

I am left handed when drawing, but I'm am right footed when kicking, right handed with bows and arrows, ambidextreous with guns, left handed with one sword, but ambidextreous with two, and right handed with a mouse.
By the power of greyskull, I'm not sure I believe that.

I'm a righty, for writing and stuff. Because I play clarinet my left hand is pretty agile, and I've gotten less clumsy with it from labs... dropping hot chemicals tends not to be a good idea, and I'm usually doing at least three things at once so have to be able to use my left.<br><br>As a sidenote... I attempted using the mouse with my left, it wasn't too bad... except I was too lazy to fix the buttons so kept clicking the wrong way <!--emo&B)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/cool.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cool.gif' /><!--endemo-->. And I keep reaching down to rest my right on the mouse to end up with if flopping uselesly onto the desk.

Three words: dual USB mice.<br><br>*LOL* No, my system doesn't have that.. but it sounds interesting enough. Actually, since my wireless board's a serial, and the Sony mouse is USB, I have a PS2 mouse port free.. Hmm...

Actually, I could do dual mice... mine is a USB or PS2, and I have another mouse I could use (if it would work... it stopped for a while which is why I have two). I'll have to give that consideration.<br><br>You guys are already becoming a bad influence! I don't need any more ideas!... in other words I like it here!

hdofu! just because the blue pill is a full meal and turns you into a blueberry isn't reason to discourage people from taking it... well, actually, i guess it is! <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:unsure:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... unsure.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='unsure.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
