    Default Bluetooth Left Handed Mouse Options?

    I'm constantly struggling with my current keyboard/mouse setup and can't quite find something that works.

    I really need wireless due to my desk configuration (at least for the keyboard), however standard wireless keyboard/mice combo's haven't worked for me in the past due to some sort of interference on the same frequency from my cellphone and another guys headset that is close to me. I know bluetooth works, so I'm trying to find something that will work, but the hangup is I'm left handed and there is already a slim selection of bluetooth devices.

    From what I can tell pretty much Logitech and Microsoft are about the only 2 companies that make bluetooth and you just about have to buy a combo keyboard/mouse. The problem being that Microsofts mice that they bundle have the what I consider "goofy" scroll wheel. The scroll wheel isn't smooth/natural and middle clicking the wheel requires too much pressure vs a standard scroll wheel. So that eliminates all the MS ones . The logitech keyboard/mice I really like but none of their bluetooth combo's have neutral mice, they're all right-handed.

    So I'm asking if anyone can recommend anything?

    As a side rant on left handed peripherals, I'd love to use something like a nostromo or the various other things that are out there, but they're all designed for right-handed people .

    Anyways thanks!

    I have a Logitech Mediaplay mouse. It is switchable & programmable. The only problem you might have is the extra buttons on the left side.

    Check it out here: http://www.everythingusb.com/logitec...ess_mouse.html

    They mention a lag, but I've never noticed it.
    Give people a job worth doing, the tools to do it, recognition of a job well done & get out of the way.

    Did you check out Belkin?
    There are wireless mice available because they make products
    for notebook computers. I have a bluetooth version that I use with my
    laptop. Most of their mice are symmemtrical so they will work for
    either left or right hand setups.

    For cad, I am using a Logitech MX510 and I can easily see why it would
    not be good for a lefty.

    You might also want to check A4tech.com. I am using a keyboard with
    the numberpad on the left. It is great for AutoCad and may also work
    well for a lefty.

    Belkin didn't look like they had much of anything.

    The A4Tech stuff looks nice. Unfortunately the keyboards just say RF so I'm gonna assume they probably won't work since they don't have any tech specs for them. I really like their slim keyboards though, I may get a couple of those for some other people in my office though. However, those battery free RFID mice are crazy. I like the look of the NB-90 and the NB-95. I'm gonna look into those seriously that might be a viable option for the mouse.

    If you really want a bluetooth mouse, be careful which one you choose.
    Some of them have a timeout feature that saves battery life
    The user will find themselves waking up the mouse.
