Mouse

Post by FIONA TOMANY »

how many of us steel nuts are lfet handed mouse users. I couldnot understand why I was more comfortable suing the mouse in my left hand than right. Then it Struck me I was using the mouse like a steel guitar bar.
I have tried to get vibtrato out of it with no luck. I suppose its good practise. I even hold the mouse like a steel bar.
Be interest to har from folk who have experienced the same

Same, only different. Mouse feels more comfortable in my right hand. Probably 'cause I'm left-handed.

Go to the control panel, click on the mouse configuration, there you have a choise of "left" or "right" configuration of the mmouse.

Doesn't matter which way I use - in either case, I always seem to want to drag my trailing fingers behind to 'damp' the mousepad.....

I'm still going through therapy for pain and tingling in my right arm after having a cervical fusion. I moved my mouse to the left side on the recommendation of one of my doctors, just to spread the load and take some pressure off my right arm.

I'm using a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical which is symmetrical and didn't even change the buttons for left handed use. It was easier and more logical to me to leave the button functions alone, plus if anyone else uses my computer they're not confused.
