would a petition solve anything?

    i'm left handed, and i really like Logitech MX mice, but Logitech doesn't manufacture them for left handed people :(, do you think running a petition would make them open their eyes and see that left handed people are people too and it would be good to manufacture MX for south paws?

    well to be honest it is probably the only way something like that could happen. if they think they might make some money then they will most likely do it. e-mail them and ask them if they have anything in the pipeline and if they dont then work away...

    I'm a southpaw meself, and tbh, I don't know what all the fuss is about. I've been using right handed mice (in my right hand) for 15 years, and can't even imagine using one with my left hand. it just wouldn't feel right.

    that said, aside from writing and throwing (and stuff;)) I do everything right handed anyway. gave up trying to fight the righties long ago, and learnt to do things right handed.

    used to be ambidextrous until I was about 10 and stopped writing so much, and didn't need the extra firepower.

    left handed scissors are handy though.

    How much extra would you pay for a LH drive mouse ?
    Bearing in mind most mice are symmettical.

    Not sure now but Logitech used to make 80-90% of all mice - most of the older Microsoft Mice are just OEM's logitechs

    vibe you are a traitor! , just kidding

    why should i learn to use mouse with right hand? i was born left handed, and btw making a left handed child learn to write or do stuff with a right hand influences childs brain a lot! vibe did you start trying to learn to do stuff with right hand at an early age? if yea, don't you sometimes happen to start reading some word from right to left? or from the middle? or reading it knowing what you read and still say something else?

    i'd pay 20-30 more, maybe even 50 if i really like the mouse
