Hello left handed friend! I don't have anything useful to add, only wanted to share my experience being left handed. I use a right handed mouse with my left hand, which makes me hold it quite strangely and the buttons are still for right handed, so I use them backwards.
- Mezzie 5y agoYou should be able to change the button settings. At least you used to be able to. My mom has hers set up that way; she mouses left.
- chana_masala 5y agoI'm just so used to it the wrong way now!
- technothrasher 5y agoI'm primarily left handed, but "switch hit" for a lot of things, including mice. I've never had any problem with the position of the buttons in either hand, though when using a mouse with my left hand my hand posture is at about a 45 degree angle to the mouse so that my index finger is still resting on the left button. I then rotate my hand to move my index finger onto the right button when I want to use it. When I'm using the mouse as intended in the right hand, I use two fingers. I find either approach works fine for me. The only thing I've consciously forced myself to learn to use right handed are firearms. Left handed firearms are hard to find, and using right-handed ones with your left hand creates a lot of hardships.
