    Man, so how do you ASDF with your right hand? For one, the Space bar is out of reach of your pinky. And Tab is out of reach for your thumb....

    Do lefties just JKL; ?

    I think most lefties do use the mouse with their right hand. I am right handed but I steer my car with my hand.

    The previous Sidewinders were made for people who use their right hand to navigate the mouse. This one can be used by people who use their left hands.

    I'm a righty and I use my mouse with my left hand...

    I only do that because I feel I don't use my left hand often enough in my daily life so I figure I'd put it to use on a mouse lol :XD
