Using my weaker hand to use the mouse

Let's talk about how becoming ambidextrous will make (my) life better. Next writing. Though that's a steep step from using a cursor.

There's also the old "use your non-dominant hand to masturbate so it feels like someone else" trick.

When I eat something like spaghetti or curry, something that can be eaten one handed, I use my non- dominant hand to do the Metro crossword or a Sudoku. It might be harder the other way around I might try it.

I tried this for a little while, I gave up pretty fast though, its easier to write backwards and right to left with your left hand then write forwards

When you numb up your off-hand for the task it's called "the stranger."

I'm technically ambidextrous, but I'm left hand dominant for everything except throwing things. I've taught myself to do everything including write and paint with both.
Doesn't make my life any better that I can see, and I still struggle with a lot of things that are general problems for lefties(can openers, silver surfer syndrome, scissors, etc) 
But good luck! Hope you find it rewarding

I imagine it works the same way a trackpad, clit mouse, and mouse in a laptop does.
It favors whichever is active. If you try to use 2 or all (not sure how but let's say) it doesn't do anything interesting. The computer just tries to read all mouse inputs. If its reading one and you stop using them all at once it doesn't try to catch up with other commands. It just assumes your cracked out ass accomplished what you wanted.
Laptops do anyway. Never used multiple mice in a desktop.

I work in IT and I use my left hand to mouse drive at work and my right hand at home. I'm right handed.
Something I read years ago about forcing different parts of your brain to work by using the less dominant side lead me to do it.
Anyhow... I'll stop derailing the thread now. Pho is the shizz.

I'm semi-ambidextrous, right hand dominant, delegate tasks to certain hands. I cannot help but rest my palm while drawing with either hand, always been a little shaky. Is Silver Surfer Syndrome really a mostly lefty thing?

I hurt myself a lot doing clumsy things lol. I also have been forced to use my right hand a lot in the past. It's given me an advantage with some things and a disadvantage with others.
Overall idk can't complain really. Makes me feel a lil special, in a dumb way. Fuck can openers though, seriously. There will never be anything other than one of those automatic ones in my household. Because I break them all. Or hurt myself.

idk 
But it has to do with pushing as you write rather than pulling, for me. Doesn't happen with my right hand, personally - but I usually only use my right hand for painting on rare occasions, which is different.

Interesting, do you use the same strokes and swirls to write characters with both hands? I variate a little between both hands. When I write or draw with either hand I smudge ink and graphite all over both hands. Resting my hand on the thing let's me achieve better precision either way.
By pushing/pulling you mean your hand dragging?

I’ve always had some cross dominance when performing tasks with my hands.
I will always write and use eating utensils like forks, spoons and chop sticks with my left. But virtually everything else is done with the right. Such as; throwing, punching, using a tennis racket, mouse, knife or sword etc.
Though since I write with my left, I’ve always considered myself a left handed person.

I’m definitely totally right handed. I play guitar lefty tho and am pretty good at spinning glass with both hands in proportion to gravity. In my ‘perspective’ it isn’t truly left handed as there are parts of the experience where I see a clear advantage to using my right hand for the function and I just ‘make do’ with the left as best as I can. I definitely skate goofy because my right foot is better at flicking the board. I don’t really fight so iunno
