Making your mouse left handed - Introduction
http://www.abilitynet.org.uk/myway/keyboard/mouse/intro-mouse-left-handed.htm
Making your mouse left handed - Introduction
The easiest finger for clicking a mouse button with is your index finger, and the most commonly used button is the left mouse button. Thus, by default, your computer mouse is setup for a right handed user.
Most left handed users either use the mouse in their right hand, or in their left hand with the left click button under their middle finger. Neither option is very satisfactory.
This module shows you how to setup your mouse for a left handed user.

How can I develop mouse control skills?
http://www.ictadvice.org.uk/index.php?pagetype=service&service=ask&page=june_q1
Firstly, it’s important to remember that the objective isn’t just to develop mouse control skills, it’s to equip children with the skills to use the computer as a learning tool.
When the children of today grow up it’s quite likely that they will not need mouse control skills as hand-held devices or speech-recognition software will then be available.
