Yeah, even though you can switch the buttons to a left handed config., it's still not comfortable. I remember the time I broke my right hand and had a project to finish in photoshop, and I had to use a my left hand. But I'm right handed, so that sucked a lot.Originally posted by gster123

I second that. :pOriginally posted by starjsjswars
lol nope but the logic tech gamming mouse looks hawt.
It's a laser mouse, and unlike other mice which only have their own DPI (dots-per-inch, the way mice read surface-difference/distance), the G5 can change between 400 DPI (ye olde Trackball mice), 800 DPI (optic mice; typical), or even 2,000 DPI (laser-mouse).
I cannot stand how ultra-smooth the 2k DPI setting is, so I keep it on the 800/optical DPI setting at all times. Even if you need percision when painting detailed textures, for example, you can set it down to the 400/trackball DPI setting.
That aside, it has a cartridge you can insert into the bottom of it, in which you can place up to 7 weights, to...well...weigh down the mouse.

Yeah, I dont havethe buttons switched, ie the left moise button, is the left button etc, its jut that I mode it about with my left hand, a lot of the higher proced mice are slanted to fit the right hand and when you use it in yor left it feels really strange!
I use just a standard mouse, nowt fancy, was thinking of a wireless one but well never got round to it.

I wonder what using a left handed mouse would be like? might be like using a left handed fountain pen, a right pain!
