Using your mouse with your non-dominant hand

I was looking on the web for a way to solve a mouse button problem I am having with my optical mouse and I stumbled upon this interesting article and idea.
The author recommends using your other hand when using your mouse. The author explains how it helps brain function.
Another article shares this added benefit, less wear, pain and fatigue on your dominant hand.
So I tried it for about 10 seconds and was frustrated. I am EXTREMELY right dominant and very uncoordinated. I can not even do simple aerobic steps without tripping over myself. But I have decided to take some time and implement this new habit. I'll just pretend I have a cast or something on my right hand.
Let me know what you think about this?
Are you going to try it?
Would it be easier on left-handed people because they are quite adroit in using various products in a "right-handed" world?
