Both, depending which is most sufficient at the certain circumstence.
The last time I saw Dave... That was twenty-five years ago, going up this street, in the back of that car.

top left -> bottom right

Just seems right to me...

i used to do it top left to bottom right (how i always do it in windows) but then i watched _all_ progamers do it the other way so i tried it and realized it helped my mousespeed a lot because i use the little finger more. =) later on i changed the way how i hold my mouse so that the little finger doesn't touch the mouse anymore and now it's all about the ring finger.

Um, I guess I drag in any direction that is needed but the majority of the time it's from top left to bottom right. It's the most ' natural '


Btw interesting poll.

I don't do them equally, top left would be default... But I kind of grab stuff that my mouse is close to so I am capable of making boxes in other directions--a

This poll is like asking are you right handed or left handed. Right handers: from top left. Let handers: from top right.

Wouldn't it not matter much if you start at top right or top left? I think if you are selecting some units then using the minimap the faster method would be to start at top right.

i was just curious and hadn't seen anything like this before. i use an MX510 mouse so it's easier to drag top right to bottom left and i just stuck with it. never even thought about doing it the other way =/
