SchAmToo United States1141 Posts March 22 2011 18:05 GMT #21 I'm a lefty, I keep my orientation for my mouse as "right" handed though, where in I use my middle finger for left click and index for my right click. Doesn't bother me, or impede me. I use a razer copperhead (ambidextrous) and am planning on buying a razer lachesis as my next mouse when I come across my next amount of money (I'm looking at you, tax returns). I've had this orientation since I've used a computer. I find it best because then when I use other computers, or my friends use mine, it's a matter of positioning the mouse, not switching controls around.

Phayze Canada2029 Posts March 22 2011 18:11 GMT #23 People stopped using 1 finger on their mouse when they invented mice with two buttons. I use all 5 of my fingers on my mouse, index and middle for clicking, 4th and 5th fingers for stability on the mousepad (if you have seen wcg and saw how artosis pinky was extended outwards like that), 4th fingers also presses button 6 and 7 on my Xai, and then my thumb is used to grip, press 4th and 5th button or stability (I come from a competetive CS (cevo p) background so planting thumb, 4th and 5th fingers onto my mousepad while sniping allows me to make subtle movements with my fingers.

Do you use your right hand for the keyboard? because I can imagine that to be pretty frustrating, no? I know lefties who use right handed mice in their right hand, but it's all about comfort I guess... I mean, maybe you can find a cheap lefty mouse at like Walmart or something of the sort to test it out...... and if it doesn't work out well, just return it the next day :D! lol I think you need to experiment a little with many options. a lot of people said good things so far.. See what suites you best after experimenting, then practice with what you feel is optimal for your game play experience. lots of luck to you, Christina :D

It's just something you have to force yourself to do correctly for a while. Left-handed deathadders are also awesome but pretty much unrelated to the OP's issues.
