Wed, 10 Feb 2010 15:59:54 +0000 http://www.trackballmouse.org/?p=31#comment-69 I am left-handed and changed over to a trackball mouse years ago. It was a Microsoft item and was ambidextrous due to the buttons being assignable and the ball being centrally located. I thought it was great but it failed eventually and I could not find a direct replacement. I bought the Trackball Explorer in its place which, although it is right-hand biased, has proved to be indispensible. I thought I would have problems trying to 'teach' my right hand to use it but, after a shakey couple of days, it soon became second nature. To any left-handers out there, like myself, take the plunge and try 'teaching' your right hand to do something useful for a change! There are other advantages that I've discovered as well; Learning to use a trackball with your right hand means you still have a useful hand left over to type or write with so you can get ahead of your boring 'normal' compatriots who have to do one or the other but can't manage both. Show me a right-handed person who can do anything sensible with their left hand! I am left-handed and changed over to a trackball mouse years ago.

I feel bad for lefties there is definitely a shortage of decent mice made specifically for left-handers. I write with a pen lefty myself but luckily when it comes to a computer I use my right. I know it's not a trackball but Evoluent makes a left-hand version of their <a href="http://www.ergodirectusa.com/Evoluent-Vertical-Mouse-Left-Hand-p/vm2-lsb.htm" rel="nofollow">Vertical Mouse</a> which is fairly popular if you think going ergonomic might benefit you.

Maybe one day we can return to having a thumb operated left-handed trackball. Ambi still isn’t left-handed. Maybe one day we can return to having a thumb operated left-handed trackball.
