Your first choice comes down to a dedicated left-handed mouse or an ambidextrous one. The former is shaped specifically for left-handed use, placing any side buttons within reach of your left thumb.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re already used to navigating your devices right-handed, but want the option to swap to left, an ambidextrous mouse could be the route to take. These mice have a symmetrical design, like the POP Mouse<\/a>, so you can choose whichever hand you\u2019d like to use it in.<\/p>\n Finding a mouse that is a good fit for your hand size keeps your forearm in a neutral posture and lowers strain. Pay attention to how your hand rests on the device:<\/p>\n For the lefties with small or medium hands, Logitech Lift Left<\/a> places your hand at a 57-degree angle to relieve wrist pressure and promote better posture throughout long desk sessions. For larger hands, the Signature M650 L Left<\/a> features a roomier grip area with a contoured thumb rest for more comfort during extended work hours.<\/p>\n There are three main ways people grip a mouse: fingertip, palm and claw.<\/p>\n A fingertip grip means only your fingers touch the device. Compact, lightweight mice excel here because you only need quick, micro-touches from your digits. A palm grip means both your palm and fingertips rest completely on the mouse, so a fuller, curvier shape is better to support your entire hand. For a claw grip, where your palm rests on the back of the mouse while your fingers arch over the buttons, look for a shape that gives your palm a stable place to rest.<\/p>\n Hardware is only part of the equation. If you\u2019re using an ambidextrous mouse, use software like Logi Options+ to swap primary and secondary clicks into left-handed mode.<\/p>\n If you opt for a dedicated left-handed design, customize your mouse to bring frequent shortcuts right to your fingertips. Map the side buttons to mute your microphone, execute copy-paste or trigger applications such as email to open with a single press.<\/p>\n What mouse setup are you running on your desk today?<\/p>\n About the author: Art is the General Manager of Logitech\u2019s Mice & Keyboard Solutions (MKS) business unit within the Personal Work Solutions Global Business Group.
