Left or right?

Just curious
If in average there should be maybe 5 - 10 % of lefties in the population, in certain places (and among Mac users) this ratio seems to be higher.
So which one do you use for writing etc?

Right handed; right wing. The former is in the majority; the latter is in the minority.

Right handed. I'm better at typing with my left hand, though, probably due to practice, since when I type one-handed it's usually because my right hand is on the mouse. Then again, when I use the keypad it's always with my right hand, so I get some practice there, too. Hmm.

I can move each finger on my left hand individually without the others moving, whereas with my right I find it very difficult to bend one finger without the others bending along with it at least a little.

Right-handed...

...but I can fold my hands in half (fingers to palm) ... that's gotta count for something, no?

I'm right-handed. Hmm, my mouse would be a lot less comfortable to use if I was left-handed. It's not something I've looked into, but I wonder if you can get left-handed versions of popular mice, or whether left-handed people would have to opt for neutral-handedness ones.

Left-handed, but I've always used the mouse with the right hand, probably because it just always _was_ on the right side. But after 22 years of using the mouse with the right hand, it doesn't feel "off" at all. (Never did, actually, I guess...)
