A left handed mouse! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Evoluent-Handed-Vertical-Mouse-Erogomic/dp/B00486V416/ref=pd_sim_ce_10


So good left handed awesome people of boards..
What do you struggles do you have in life due to the curse of the left hand?

For example, My writing sucks.. in fact, when I write, I turn the paper from white to a pure black page...

Does the ambidextrous community get a shoe in too?

You don't actually have to buy left handed mouse you can just flip the buttons in the settings........ I had one of the lads in IT in work do it for me on my computer.

biko

Buy a Mac, just one button

antodeco

wazky

What about those of us with no hands?

Now now now. Lets not saying crazy things we can't take back.

My mouse is symmetrical, just like my pen, my phone and my lighter;

a left handed mouse just makes no sense to me.

krudler

I'm left handed and using a mouse that way just feels bizarre tbh

Mac are computers how they were supposed to be. I'm using windows now and it really genuinely is a very...bitty! I'd swear they purposely make some menus as hard as possible to find.

I'm left handed and have used a conventional mouse without difficulty for many years.

Sinister!

I use one of these bad boys, left handed version

I use a left-handed Razer Deathadder. Before that I used a symmetrical mouse but I much prefer the shape of the one made for a left-hand.

Duggy747

I'm left-handed but, bar writing, I do everything else with my right hand like playing instruments and using a mouse.

Helps me blend in more so I can avoid being burnt at a stake and gives me the chance to steal everyone's souls.

Yep. And that model looks like it would be a nightmare to use. Vertical? GTFO.

I'm left footed and right handed. I'll give you €100 if you can find a turf spade to suit me.

I see that, you too, are a man of taste and refinement.

Attempting to write in a ring binder with the file still in there is a no no for left handed.
Cheque books are a bit awkward too.
Inky pens are out.
Tin openers were tricky when young
Scissors need to be kinda pushed together when using left handed.

Cannot cut a loaf of bread without making a complete balls of it.

There was always only one set of lefty scissors in school too, so you had to take turns using it or get the teacher to cut your stuff for you

It would appear there is a gap in the market for left-handed bread so.

We don't know as none of us have to fap. The opposite sex just can't get enough of us.

I'm left handed. While writing left handed. I normally can use a right-handed scissors no problem and can use the computer mouse in either hand. I am right footed though.

What i hate is can openers not only are the butterfly ones rubbish but being a lefty it gets awkward. I've always preferred the old manual ones like in the link.

that's a very expensive mouse

for the same money you could buy a mind control headset - no hands needed

Ambidextrous, left sighted and left footed. But there are still certain tools that I use primarily with one hand, other tools I'll use with the other. TBH, not sure if it's force of habit or just easier that way. Did pick up a left-handed roller-cutter tin opener a few years ago and its a pleasure to use. Fun watching righties trying to get their head around it too...

Kintarō Hattori

As another poster pointed out, a lot of mice are symmetrical but Logitech have sold left handed mice for years at realistic prices.

Jimoslimos

Wouldn't it be an advantage to have your left hand free, rather than controlling the mouse, while browsing?

kowloon

Left handed nun-chucks!

Nemeses

I use a mouse right handed. Just the way it was when I was introduced to computers back in the early 90's. I can also use one with my left hand too just for the lolz.


I mean how do PC Gamers use a mouse on the left hand side... What about WSAD setup?

Most even vaguely ergonomic mice are anything but symmetrical, hence the left and right handed models.

JupiterKid

Even though I'm a leftie I always use the mouse with my right hand.

Writing can be messy as a leftie.

My Microsoft 'ergo' mouse in work is giving me carpal tunnel. I had an Apple Magic Mouse in my old job and never had a problem. I would recommend it to people of any-handedness.

phasers

when I started driving, every time I took my left hand off the wheel to change gear the car would veer off course a bit because my left hand was doing all the steering and my idiot right hand did nothing. It took me ages of concentration to correct that.

Long story short: Right hand drive, left hand driver problems.
