I also keep the buttons set for right-handed mousing because some of the software programs I use every minute of every day *cough* Oracle EBS *cough* do not work at all when the mouse is set up (button functions reversed) for left-handed use. Precision mousing still needs to be done with my right hand, probably always will. I still use my trusty standard two-button-scroll-wheel-in-the-middle $5 Logitech. Thoughts?

I guess I can call the ergo people in again to double check that aspect too.


when I first started here 2 years ago, so that all should be set up correctly. How long did it take for you switch mousing hands, if you've done it, and was it worth it? We haven't put in the order yet for the fancy vertical mouse (which requires specifying Right or Left version), and my concern is that I'll never get used to the lefty ergo mouse (and then we'll have spent a lot of $ on something I can't use.) But, on the other hand (ha), I do want to give my right side a break because it's my writing/tennis playing/everything hand and therefore much more important to rest I think.Īlso, I had an ergo assessment for my chair, keyboard and monitor height, etc. However, trying this now with my normal mouse, I want to punch in the computer after a little while. I'm a righty, but my right hand (+ elbow, + arm) is developing RSI and pinched nerve symptoms more and more, so in addition to ordering a better keyboard and mouse (for typing and mousing with my arms in a vertical thumbs-up position (Goldtouch and Evoluent, specifically, if curious) I also am trying to switch to using my left hand for mousing, to rest my right (dominant) side.
