To whoever is left handed!

I'm pretty surprised, I tohught the majority of the lefties would use the "switch button" option! It seems it's only me and Frodo using that...

I'm left-handed.  I hold the mouse in my right-hand and do not invert the buttons.

I'm not left-handed, but this reminds me that in the PC-Engine, the I button is to the right of the II button in a joypad (just like how A is to the right of B in a Famicom joypad, unlike Sega consoles where the ordering of the buttons are all reversed). When the PCE mouse was released the button placements followed its joypad counterpart and so I was to the right of II. This caused some stupidity, as you have to click the RMB for confirmation while playing some of the games that supported the mouse (there are only a handful of them). Some of the games did get it correct though, that they switched the buttons' functions. You could redefine the buttons in only a few games.

Troublesome titles included the PCE version of Lemmings. I was tempted to call it left-handed Lemmings. ;D Luckily it wasn't hard to get use to, at least not as hard as playing a platform game with the button functions reversed (i.e. not following the "SMB configuration"; this applies to may early Sega console titles and some other console games mainly produced in the west).

I'm just like Vince and most other lefties :P here:
I write with the left hand, but use the right hand for the mouse, or for knives, scissors, while playing badminton...
