Forums - General - Any good left handed mice?

So I'm finally tired of my hand hurting after a long day of work and I want a more comfortable mouse.  Usually, this wouldn't be too hard but I'm left handed and I want to try a left handed mouse.

Any suggestions?  I prefer a high DPI and I don't really care if it's wireless.

Odd as it might seem, last time I checked for left-handed mice, there was just one model - http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Left-Hand-Laser-Cordless-Mouse/dp/B000EXRSWG

Well, I never got that one, symmetrical ones work fine. Using a Razer Diamondback now, but Razer has quite a few other symmetrical models too.



I saw that one and I just don't trust Logitech, I've had too many fits with too many of their products, especially wireless ones.  It also worries me that I don't know what its DPI is.

-edit-

And I've had two Razer mize and I really liked them, I was just hopeing there was a good left handed mouse like that.



Never understood why there wasn't more on the market, there are after all quite a few left-handed people and it's not like they'd have to design a whole new product, it's just mirroring.



God I am on a different planet tonight. I thought by 'mice' you meant the animals lol.

Yeah, it sucks but I can understand not making a lot of them since they're so specialized.  The design would literally be a flip but they'd have to make a whole new process for the actual manufacturing which is pain and expensive.

Still sucks though.  I would love to have those awesome mice with the cool buttons and all that jazz.



I wasn't aware there were right handed mice on the market! looking at my mouse now, it's 100% symetrical.

Yup, most mice with fancy buttons and such are right handed and most of the rest of are sumetrical.  I have a symmetrical razer at home but I have a right handed one at work.  If I can't find a good left handed mouse I'll end up just bringing up my razer but I'd like a left handed one if there are any good ones.  >_>



It's a weird thing, but my dad (who is right-handed) uses his mouse on the left side. He says it's way more comfortable for him haing his right hand free for the keyboard. But he doesn't swap the buttons.
It was an awkward thing years ago when we only had one PC and I was living with my parents - no idea if Windows still does that, but at the change user screen it would keep the mouse settings. So between my parents and me it was a constant moving the mouse around and trying to click on the user icon and having the wrong key.

Basically all ale did here was Google left-handed mice and take the first URL that popped up.  Yay for Google.

Does anyone who actually uses left-handed mice have input here?  I'm curious as well.
