Razer Creates Mouse For Lefties

By Doug Aamoth | @daamoth | March 17, 2010 | +

Alert Ned Flanders! This Razer DeathAdder Left Hand Edition Gaming Mouse is a perfect item to be sold at the Leftorium in Springfield Mall.

Razer claims this is “the world’s first gaming mouse for left-handers.” Is that true? Man, you lefties have it rough. On behalf of technology, I’m really sorry it’s taken until 2010 for you to have access to something like this. What have you been doing this entire time? Are there even left-handed gamers any more? I just assume you’ve had to adapt to a right-handed mouse, huh?

Well if you can manage to revert back to mousing with the correct hand, the Death Adder has a 3500dpi sensor, 1000Hz polling with a 1ms response time, five programmable buttons, on-the-fly sensitivity switching, and a 16-bit data path. Not that any of that could possibly even begin to make up for decades of being ignored in the marketplace.

Available March 24th for $60.

You Can Pre-order the Samsung Galaxy S III Now, but It’ll Cost You

It’s “friggin’ huge,” as my colleague Jared Newman recently quipped, and Samsung’s Galaxy S III is also going to be friggin’ expensive if you’re in the U.S. and want firsties. While the phone’s stateside launch date is still “early June,” Amazon has started taking pre-orders for the international version.

As a lefty I can’t use any of the mouses that are for sale in the retail stores that are for ‘gaming’ believe me I have looked and asked. I have to use standard mouse that is symmetric on both sides. I have adapted a weird mouse habit where I control the mouse with my left hand but still use standard ‘right handed’ settings.

I think we lefties have all had this happen. I will buy one simply because if there is a market for LH products, they will make more.

I want it! Actually, I have adapted to using the mouse on the right side, but for some reason I can only use my left hand with the touchpad on my laptop. Even though I do everything in life with my left hand, I’ve been so conditioned to use the mouse on the right, that it’s not comfortable for me to move it to the left.
