[joffy]

Logitech have finally made a mouse for left-handers...

Ooooo about time, my mom will be happy

She can not stand the right handed mice she has to use.

I've never understood the issue, I'm left handed but have always used a mouse in my right hand, using it in my left feels really odd!

 

[joffy]

I find using my right ok for general use, but playing games I need all the help i can get and have to use my left.

because some people do actually use them in their left hands? lol


...oh yeah btw, GREAT NEWS. i may have to buy one. hopefully it'll work with my current logitech setup

[benjo plz.]

nice to feel wanted by mouse makers now i use my mouse in my left hand and own a copperhead, but kool

I don't know, we should be burning them at the stake for being backward bedevilled witches not making mice for them. What's the world coming too?

 

[Mr Mister]

bet they will be twice the price of a right handed equivalent because they will be made in smaller numbers

"And, remarkably, Logitech is pricing the new version at $59.99, the same price the company charges for the righty mouse".

I'm left handed but have never used a mouse in my left hand, feels weird, actually I only cut and write using my left hand.

 

[Roduga]

Haven't they found a cure yet?

snap, I can use a mouse with my left but it's no way as good as with the right. I'm still using a m$ optical intellimouse v3 (iirc) and I want more! they're such good mice,

edit: just googled, and it's the 1.1 intellimouse

About bloody time, too. Begone from my house, unexceptional and wired MX-310s, begone from my house.

One question, though - does this mean they'll soon be shipping both left- and right-handed diNovo sets? The cynic in me says not, and that the lefty mouse will continue to be an optional extra, though an exchange scheme might be provided.

I'm a left hander, and using a mouse - any mouse - feels weird in my left hand.

I doubt these will be popular, even in the left handed community. I'm actually using a right handed only mouse at the moment, and I still get the headshots in on right handers with right handed mice.

RSI from improper wrist positioning can really put the kybosh on one's headshot tally, though.

He's using his right hand for mousing.

 

[simisker]

A minor issue

My point is still valid for any lefties who use - or feel obliged to use - right-handed designs in their left, though.

 

[tb2000]

Am I in the minority then of left handers who use a mouse in their left hand ? I can use the mouse (which is a Microsoft Wireless Optical) in either hand but 99% of the time I use my left hand.
