Left Hander Alert!

R-TYPE · 22 Feb 2015 at 20:14

Hi all, does anyone have any recommendations for a good gaming mouse for a left-hander like me? All the mice on sale seem predominantly right-hand-centric...!

Thanks

Zowie mice are very very good and ambidextrous.

Razer Taipan.

Thanks guys, very useful. Both Razer and Zowie two buttons per side look good. The razer naga 2014 left handed looks good also, with the additional buttons.

The EVGA torQ looks ambidextrous with two buttons either side. Anyone used this mouse? Reviews sound positive, solid and weighty.

I have the Razer Ouroboros, it was pricey but I love it.

R-TYPE · 23 Feb 2015 at 20:41

Actually, reading more on razer naga 2014, apparently it doesn't survive more than a year without going wrong. TorQ looking good at this point.

Mionix Avior 7000?

i have been using a razer deathadder left handed for a couple of years. no problems so far. We are the true forgotten minority

jetpaczx · 24 Feb 2015 at 20:32

Yeah the choices for us are very limited which is why I buy Ambidextrous Mice even then our options are still limited.

I use a Logitech MX 610 Left handed mouse that I occasionally game with, I use on a Roccat Sotta mouse mat that improves it's accuracy.

The Logitech MX 610 Left is probably the best left handed mouse made, but unfortunately Logitech stopped making them about 4 years ago.

You have to search auction sites to find them, I've picked up a few new however some were second hand. I currently own 5 of the mentioned mice. I hope Logitech make a dedicated left handed mouse again, however owning 5 i'm covered for some time yet.

Look for ambidextrous mice, rather than left-handed. Those are few and far between, while ambidextrous mice are far more common, and you got some very good designs to choose from. I'm a big fan of the FK1 for FPS, but there are others.

Thanks all so much for the responses, really appreciate it.

Very useful indeed. EVGA and razers currently on the short list.

Am I the only left hander who uses his right hand for the mouse as right handers do? It's never felt weird to me, I just did it.

I'm Left Handed but use my Right Hand for the mouse. I can't do a thing with the mouse using the lefty.

I am right handed, yet I can only use it in my left hand for FPS type games and I use the cursors instead of WASD.

I too have problems finding a mouse that is ambidextrous. I also have problem finding a mouse to replace my aging Logitech G3. Simply cant find anything better.

My Dad got me one of these from a boot-fair a couple of years ago (never been used, still in a sealed box) and it's been brilliant for me. Can't recommend it enough! Would be nice to have a wired version, but I really can't complain.

ME too. Although I can only play football with my left foot, but I can play cricket or baseball left or right handed. Just as bad with both.

I'm left handed as still game with the keys for a right hander. WASD, SHIFT, CTRL etc etc. I push the space bar with my little finger.

As far as mice goes I use a Steelseries Sensei Pro as it is truly ambidextrous.
