I tried, particularly when eating chips with chopsticks with my right hand, but I'm just not coordinated enough with my left hand for that.
I think I must be weird or something... I'm left handed for writing, but also do a lot of things as a right handed person.
I've been using an ErgoDox for gaming. But I still need to make a WASD layer for the right hand, so that I can start playing a game without spending time understanding what keys will be needed, and IF I can rebind them (looking at you Fallout 4 and MSG5).

Sounds like you're ambidextrous.I've been using an ErgoDox for gaming. But I still need to make a WASD layer for the right hand, so that I can start playing a game without spending time understanding what keys will be needed, and IF I can rebind them (looking at you Fallout 4 and MSG5).
MGSV allows for key rebinding though. Does it have certain un-bindable locked keys?
Well when I tired the "Demo" (Ground Zeroes) I couldn't rebind my jump to the Enter key and most non letter keys couldn't be used

Ah, thought you were referring to The Phantom Pain, should have been more specific. I know some had issues with Fallout 4's key bindings, with one person I follow ending up using Autohotkey to manipulate them instead.
Yeah I tested the MGS5 with Ground Zeroes, since I didn't want to spend the money on Phantom Pain before knowing if I would be able to play because of the limited key bindings. As for Fallout 4, I think I just need to get around to finish making a WASD layer for my right hand.
First I will say that I am left handed. With that being said I'm probably 70-30 on left vs right handed tasks. As far back as I can remember (early 90's, I'm 28 now) I've always used a mouse with my right hand. I'm assuming that it felt natural enough to not complain. Being young and with computers being in their "infancy". I probably didn't know that left-handed mice were a thing. At this point I see no reason to switch to a left-handed mouse as most mice are right-handed. I'm always curious if I had, or did use my left hand if I would have better control. At any rate though, I'm content.

I have been doing that for a couple of years due to issues with my wrist. It was a very easy transition for me, I didn't even need to switch the left and right buttons.
It depends. I'm left-handed and have always used trackpoints, touchpads and pen-controlled tablets (and rollermouse) with my left hand, but mice/trackballs with my right hand. It's been only in the last few years, that I've started to swap mice and some trackballs to prevent finger strain from too much clicking.
Nowadays, my desktop setup usually looks along the lines of this (except the keyboard is different and I switch to a better right-handed mouse, whenever moving the trackball to the left).Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/e2lM86Q.jpg)
Tp uses two mice... now if only they would make a split mouse.

Tp really does use 2 Mice.. sometimes 3 Mice..
not simultaneously, but there is always at least 2 mice connected
Two feet mice, one hand mouse.
Ironically, that makes me think right-handers are better to use mouse with their left hands.I am one of those right-handers.
What PieterGen said I can pretty much echo. Started using a regular mouse with my left hand (with no switching of the button configuration) about ten years ago, just to avoid the strain of using a mouse with one hand only. The funny thing is, now I prefer using my left hand, and it’s almost a chore to remember to switch it to the right side from time to time. However, switching is important to try to avoid imbalances.
The real revelation for me was when I got my Logitech T650 Touchpad almost two years ago. No more having to grip and move a mouse. No more clicking noises. Just sliding my fingers on a smooth surface, sometimes tapping or using multi-finger gestures. Probably would not work for a gamer. But since that’s not my cup of tea, I just can’t see myself going back to using a regular mouse, unless I absolutely have to.
I'm left handed. The mouse on the right configuration is optimal for left handed because you can write and keep notes on the left of your keyboard. If you're right handed, you should keep your mouse on the left.
The perfect configuration for left handed is probably mouse on the right and numpad on the left.
Software developer for 12 years, and got RSI 9 years ago in my right arm & hand.
So I'm currently:
- Left handed at work with a Death Adder
- Right handed at home for gaming (even it out)
I always use split keyboards, that are ideally tented & TKL.
People bag out Razer but this has been going for quite a few years now without issue.
I'd recommend doing it. It's not that expensive to trial out.
