I wasn't even sure there was a word for this (or did OP make it up?), but I'm mixed-handed. I write with my right hand, I open bottles and stuff with my left, and then some tasks I can do equally well with either. It scares my parents sometimes.
 
Mixed. I'm mostly a righty, but I can weild a melee weapon in either (Though I tend to hit harder with my right), then I can shoot a pistol with both hands. Apart from that, uh.... I don't have much significance in my handly doings. D: I can use a Xbox 360 controller with only my left hand, but not with only my right.
 
I'm a righty~ Though I try to do stuff with my left hand when I can, so it'll get some exercise and attention ^_^

I once went on a school trip to some old museumey place where we got taught as if it were back then, and they forced the lefties to use our right hands. Because of that day I can now write the & symbol and the alphabet backwards rather well with my right hand.

Mixed, in a particularly odd way.

I play guitar left-handedly, but I write right-handedly. I have no idea why this is and it's really annoying, because it's hard to find left-handed guitar books and stuff. I tried to play right-handedly once and almost gave myself hand cramp. >_> My dad's the complete opposite (left-handed but plays right-handedly), and god is it irritating when he's trying to teach me stuff.

I also use the bow left-handedly. Random, but true. Most else is right-handed, but I use a computer mouse left-handedly. I can write alright with my left hand, and I think that my left hand is actually stronger.

My dad was forced to write with his right-hand (he's only 57), and he's now one of those lefties who's semi-dyslexic because of it. :/

i love how this thread has already caused mindfuck to two people and caused them to write 'right' instead of write
 
Mixed-handed, because I do almost everything with my right, but in tennis, I do a better backhand than normal. (I used to play tennis, not so much anymore, though.) I also hold a mini-golf club left-handed sometimes and do surprisingly well.

steele either you're stalking me or you're my clone.

Sometimes with thos old video game systems controllers (Nintendo 64 for example) Playing some games is awfully akward for me. Because usually shoot is the button in the middle and aim is right shoulder. So hard because I try to do both with my right.
 
I almost never use my left hand - when I'm drawing pictures, especially really long ones (like a four-hour one I did today that didn't turn out very well since I was distracted), I can easily forget I even have a left hand ...

yeah um sure.

I speak of nunchuks, sais and other karate stuffs. :D

But uh... why is it hard to believe that I have shot/can shoot a pistol? That's pretty common around here. :/ I've shot with eleven-year olds through 4-H. xD

@Brock

How exactly do you play with one hand? I usually have my pinkie on the left joystick, my thumb on the right, then use my index finger and ring finger for the triggers, D-pad and the main set of buttons.
 
Right hander, but some things I naturally ended up using my left hand for some odd reason (first thing that comes to mind are billiard games).
