At the risk of making a 'me too' post (especially these days) I am also 
left handed and trained myself to use a mouse right handed for both of the 
reasons you mention.

Left handedness is very well studied so I wondered if there were any 
studies on this.

While looking I found one that argues that numeric keypads and using the 
mouse on the right don't mix.  Maybe time to run with a keyboard with no 
numeric keypad again.[1]
