But then again I'm a slow writer, which might have something to do with me being ambidextrous with the right hand as the dominant one in everything besides writing/drawing. Or not, I don't know.

Same here, I'm rubbish at writing, really slow. Always was a problem. I've tried using a left-handed mouse and scissors before, but no go. Can't do it, haven't got the motor skills for that kind of thing! So I guess I answered the poll incorrectly, to a degree!

Left-handed mouse? But...
Oh, those fancy-schmancy multi-button PC mouses.
Carry on.

When in first grade I used left-handed scissors, but gradually switched to right-handed scissors since it was more natural for me.

As for the mouse issue I'm weirder than most. Get this, I use the mouse with my left hand, but I use the settings a right-handed person would use (i.e. the click button is at the left and the menu button on the right).
Not sure how it happened, but I guess it has something to do with their being both left- and right-handed people in my family, which made it easier to just switch which side of the keyboard the mouse was at but not the button setup.

I didn't even think about it until recently when I was planning to buy a new PC and was thinking of getting a mouse made for gaming. Most of those are for right-handed people so I tried playing a FPS game with my right hand and then with my left hand but with left-handed button setup, but both was almost impossible. Not surprising since I've used this hand and button setup for the last 12 years.

I got an awesome Razer Diamondback btw. Really the only option if you want a gaming mouse and you're left handed. So far I've enjoyed the Razer immensely and will never switch back to that crappy MS mouse I had before.

I have to vote other. I am right and left handed but not ambidextrious(sp?).

I'm ambidextrous. I write with my right hand but anything I do to me, brush teeth, shave, wipe, etc. is done with my left hand.

I have a theory that people with 2 crowns (hair whorls on top of the head) tend to be ambidextrous.

Sorry. I'm not ambidextrous .

I'm right handed.

I like to wank with my right hand. Does that mean I'm right handed, daddy?

No. It means you're a wanker.

Ah.

Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. (I'm right handed, though my left foot is (was) better at playing football than my right one (it was the star of the team, really) and I usually hold the fork with my right and the knife with my left hand. For eating purposes, only. But don't tell anyone!)
