I kind of used to hold the mouse diagonally if you see what i mean and used my index finger. But I'm a bit ambidextrous so i have mostly switched to right hand mousing nowadays for convenience.
I can write with both right and left hands. One of my bad habits is writing quick/urgent/call out job details on the back of my hands, on a busy day both hands could be pretty busy looking notepads

As the buttons can be configured to be either way around with os settings, what difference does it make? However, if signalling I recommend holding up a big note saying “This is really my index finger, it is not my intention to insult” Probably better on stiff card, it won’t flap about so much as you run.

If I use a mouse with my left hand, I use the middle finger for clicking, and the index for right clicking.
Except with a Mac of course.

Also, when using my left hand it did seem like someone else was controlling the mouse
Is this some kind of euphemism?
Is everyone left handed?
I write with my left hand, but everything else I’m right handed.
I think my school wasn’t posh enough to have left handed scissors back in the 80’s, so I just had to use my right hand. This followed onto working when I couldn’t find a left handed screwdriver.

You know you can just turn the touchpad off @telectrix
Lid off.
Find the plug that connects the touchpad to the rest of the motherboard.
Unplug.
Not perfect solution.

It’ll depend on your laptop, tel.
I see that link was dated 2011, so there has been a few changes since.
I would suggest check the user manual, but you don’t get one when it falls from the back of a lorry.
I will say typing as a left hander is easier than writing. Doesn’t smudge the same when your left hand rubs over what you’ve just written.

Similar to me, i think it's if you don't have a very strong preference then you can do things with different hands. I didn't hear of anyone else similar before!
I realised that when i was a teenager and started doing things with each hand to practise, which is useful.
