I'm relatively close to being legitimatelly ambidextrous.

make 2 demos - one with your left hand mousing, then the reverse, and we have to guess which you used :D

I can't mouse with my left hand, since I'm using a Madcatz RAT9, which just doesn't handle well for lefties because of how it's made. I do play games like doom with WASD, whereas I play CAVE danmaku shmups with the arrow keys for movement, and both works equally well for me. Also I can juggle quite well and have no actual preference for which hands I use during everyday work. Like... It's not 100% there, but it's fairly close in most cases and even identical in some.

 

EDIT: Actually, I have a pretty good basis for comparison at the moment. Both Deathsmiles and Dariusburst are horizontal shmups. In Deathsmiles the arrow keys are hardcoded for movement, and in Dariusburst movement is hardcoded to WASD. I can play both games equally well, so that works for me. :p

I'm left-handed for a large majority of things, although I tend to use my computer the right-handed way with the mouse in the right hand.

How about making fun of right-handed users? Seriously though, it's not funny. I'm a lefty, and i'm proud of it.

Originally a topic idea making fun of the "Leftist Doomers" topic. But now im just curious, how many left-handed Doomers are here? Im one! :)

I am left-handed for most things but I learned to use a computer right-handed and have stuck with it. I'm too old to completely relearn how to use a mouse, and the WASD control layout works best with the mouse in one's right hand.

Righty here! I play drums left-handed.

Left handed player here. I do everything left handed except play the guitar. My left is the fretting hand of the guitar. 

 

I started out using Doom95 with no mouse support. Having to use the < and > keys for strafing with my right hand while also using my right hand for movement was a real pain. Happy to use the mouse now with my left hand.
