I overused my right hand with computers - mouse + many keyboard keys like arrows, enter, backspace, etc

so I switched to a left-handed mouse. I cursed for about a week, then sometimes fumbled, and then it just worked.

Now years later, if I use a right-handed mouse to do say a first-person-shooter, I overcorrect like I'm drunk on wildly pitching ship.

left-hand is dialed in and precise.

I think some of this stuff is learned and not innate.

but yeah, goofy-foot on skateboard feels... just wrong.
