I'm a lefty, although I do some things with my right hand, such as writing and using a mouse. But for those of you who are true Southpaws, you'll be happy to know that Logitech designed a computer mouse exclusively for left-handers. I imagine that it didn't take long for Logitech president and CEO Guerrino De Luca to dream it up either, since he's left-handed. The Logitech MX610 Left-Hand Laser Cordless Mouse comes with Logitech's precision laser tracking system, contoured thumb and pinky-finger grips and 10 navigational buttons, including e-mail and instant message notifications. The MX610 has a wireless range of up to 30 feet and also includes volume up, down and mute buttons for controlling music on the PC. According to this Logitech Press Release, the MX610 Left-Hand Laser Cordless Mouse will be available worldwide in early April for $59.99. The package will include the cordless mouse plus a 2.4 GHz Micro-Receiver, CD with SetPoint software, USB-to-PS/2 adapter, and 2 AA batteries. [via Ubergizmo]

Now where was this fifteen years ago when I started using computers? Too little, too late! Any computer with more than one user back then was right-handed by default. Grr.

I am left-handed but I learned to use my right hand to use the mouse and I don't have any problems at all. I don't even remember trying to use the mouse with my left hand.

This is actually a great device for those of us who write with our right hands, but prefer to mouse lefty so we can take notes or jot down thoughts while we click away.

I wonder if anyone will ever come out with a mouse as good as the bright red DePraz "Swiss Army Mouse" of the late 80s. I doubt it. [sigh]
