Left Handed Mouse

[Quam256]

My mouse has given up and now looking for a new one.
Being left handed makes things more difficult as also likes to play the odd game.
So looking for a mouse for left handers.
The only one I have found made for the job is Razer DeathAdder Left-Hand Edition .
Has anyone else had this problem or has found any other mouses or mices that are made for left handers.

I am left handed but I cannot use a mouse or a joystick in my left hand.

As most good quality gaming mice are ergonomically shaped for use by a right handed person that would be false economy as it would be very uncomfortable for use by a left handed person.

I'm not sure if it's suitable for games, but I use a Marble Mouse from Logitech. It's useful if you have right-handed friends using your computer. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice_p...s/devices/4680

I got hold of a Cyborg 3D Digital Joystick which you could change to a left hand .

Same with the keyboard have to change all the default keys when first go into a game as they are on the left hand side .

I find that most of the additional buttons are set on the left hand side for the thumb and find difficult to use properly in the left hand.

No I meant right handed.

[Tarantella]

I use this mouse right handed except when I'm using a joystick when I use this mouse left handed instead.

The latest saitek joysticks are not very robust.

Finally had the Razer DeathAdder Left-Hand Edition delivered,software loaded fine on W7 and the mouse works great . The mouse is on the large side but suits me fine, other half wants the old mouse back.
Loads of settings and will take a while to figure out but now need a new mat.
