    Why can't they just make an ambidextrous mouse instead? Complete with programmable L/R Clicks depending on which hand is played?

    Everybody wins.

    Well, that wouldn't work well with the Naga, in any case. That would mean placing its set of 12 buttons... on both sides. Which would annoy both RH and LH users.

    If the mouse would like Rat7 mouses, it would be a breeze. Just take out a part, add some weights. It's been done before, they should have no excuse.

    I'm one of the very unique individuals who uses a mouse in the left hand, even though I am right-handed lol.

    Would love to see a left-handed naga, although I really did not like the lefty deathadder. Stickin' to my ambidextrous mice ala Razer Lachesis or the Orochi for gaming on the go

    Maybe they just want to ensure that they'll sell close to 10k to offset production costs? :p

    Oh and I was reading an article where two prototypes of the razer blade were stolen from a break & enter a few months ago at their California facility. I guess someone wanted that laptop really, really bad lol

    it wouldnt be that hard, they would just need to change the body so the keyboard is to the right.

    They've already got the Lachesis and Abyssus, as well as some older models like the Diamondback, Copperhead and Krait. Twelve side buttons just wouldn't work well with a symmetrical design. :p

    I wasn't really thinking 12-buttons. More like a 6-button set you can physically take out and put in depending on which hand. That's just me hoping for something like the rat7

    Adjustability is one thing, but actually swapping buttons from side to side...I'm not sure that's really a viable option right now. :p

    Given that he's the CEO and creative director of the entire company, not to mention one of the founders, I'd imagine he's fairly credible. :p
    The paragraph explains that developing a product for a very small target audience basically costs a company money. As someone else said here earlier, they probably want some degree of assurance that a significant amount of people would actually buy a left-handed Naga if they made one.

    I'm left handed and I use a right handed mouse...

    Making left handed mice would be like making left handed doors...

    What's the point :L

    being unique?

    Not everyone is like you; most left-handed people tend to use the mouse in their dominant left hand. And unlike doors, the hand you use greatly impacts your accuracy and precision. Lefties generally don't have as much choice in mice; it's usually limited to ambidextrous/symmetrical mice.

    Right-handed people have tons of right-hand contoured mice to choose from. As far as I know, the left-hand DeathAdder is the only gaming mouse specifically made for lefties. Why not have more options?
