On Windows XP (probably other windows versions as well), go to control panel --> mouse... there's a little box you can check to "switch primary and secondary buttons."

ow, sorry about those fingers! umm, I don't think you can make a mouse for your lefty but maybe you could just switch your mouse to your left and train your middle finger to do the most clicking :)

hope it heals up fast!

EDIT: ohokay, lefty has a better way ;) oh do lefties use their left hand to control the mouse?

No problem :)

oh do lefties use their left hand to control the mouse?
They can... I do, but that's really because I have no room on the right side of my keyboard for a mouse :lol: But since most computers are set up with the mouse on the right, lefties have adapted to using their right hand :)

I am a righty in a lefty world... everyone in my house is left-handed, 'cept me.

So.. for the first 12 years of my life, I moved the mouse over to the right side (from the left where they had it). Finally, I got tired of doing that, so I just left it there...

Now at 24, a lot of people think I'm left handed 'cause I always have the mouse on the left... at work and school and stuff.

We have the buttons set to the default (for a right-handed person) but we all use it with our left hand.

You get used to it after a while.

Closing this since it has gone off topic. You can make a 'lefties' thread in chat.
