Can't say I've ever thought about it but I am quite used to being a 
left
hander in a right handed world (and play right handed).

I'm left-handed as well, and have always hated remapped buttons.  I use
the mouse left-handed, but my middle finger clicks button-1 (left), 
while
my index finger spends most of its time on the scroll wheel.

Ah, well, I play right-handed guitars left-handed without restringing,
too.

 The first mouse - actually bitpad puck - I used had four buttons.
 I don't miss the other three, and anybody who puts an asymmetric
 two-button mice on a public computer with no instructions on how
 to remap the buttons needs to have one hand superglued to their bum
 till they get the message.  (Quick, how *do* you remap the mouse
 buttons to use a mouse left-handed for the duration of a catalog
 search session on a Windows-based library computer where you have
 no admin privileges?)

Can't say I've ever thought about it but I am quite used to being a left
hander in a right handed world (and play right handed). The first PCs I used
were shared and I got fed up with moving the mouse over to the other side of
the keyboard. In time, I found operating it right handed works to my
advantage - I can point and click as needed quite easily with my right hand
while keeping my left free for more difficult tasks such as taking notes
with a pen.
