Early, early on I'll 3m4m with my thumb; later I have them hot-keyed and click on the icon. 3-click, 4-click, 5-click. Later when I have an F-key to my production then I use index or what ever fingers readily available ;p
seriously next disrespectful comment in this blog is ip ban. Be happy or get the hell out. // SC2 is like playing with neutral-colored Play-Doh while BW is like colorful Legos.

I'm also left handed, but i've never been able to tolerate having the mouse on the left.
How do you do it?
For clarification, i do everything else left handed, like writing and whatnot. The mouse on the left side just feels "Wrong".

you just gotta get used to it for some games, having your hands so close together is kinda weird but w/e. i've just always used the mouse on the left side. when my family used to only have 1 computer everyone would get mad at me for moving the mouse to the other side because then they'd have to move it back and the cords would get all tangled and shit haha

I keep my thumb on spacebar usually, so it never comes off. I gotta use index, used it forever.

So it's like this

it's the noobs that don't hotkey their raxes that use index

and the good players that use thumb

Thumb is probably better technically, since it allows you to still access the rest of the keyboard with your other fingers.

You can still keep your fingers on the number and control keys, well that just depends how long your fingers are.. I guess.
