My requirements are for a full size mouse corded or cordless that is suitable for using left handed. If cordless must have good battery life. It is for general use (no gaming) but should be smooth tracking as I do a lot of photo manipulation. Your experiences and recommendations will be appreciated.	tutaenui (1724)

You could get something flash like an apple mouse. But it'll be more expensive. But you may have to get the latest version of bootcamp for the drivers	Speedy Gonzales (78)

You sure you're not a righty waiting to be discovered? ;) Actually I am a natural lefty but was forced as a child to change to be righty but it has left me a legacy of having to do some things with the right and others with the left and sometimes I even have to stop and think which hand to use. The button arrangement is not so much a problem but the mouse has to be symmetrical hence I cant use the logitech trackball as suggested as it would require me to use the ball with my little finger.	tutaenui (1724)

I cursed the short battery life (Energisers) until I switched to alkaline batteries. The difference is amazing!! Whereas previous life was measured in days, it is now months, so the extra cost of the alkalines is more than justified. The mouse is symmetrical, and well-worth your having a look at one. The wireless sender/receiver is just a tiny USB plug which needs no battery at all.	Richard (739)

I used to use one of these until it died because I have smallish hands now I use a Logitech M325 which is of a similar size and also symmetrical	gary67 (56)

I am right handed but use my mouse left handed as I have a crook right shoulder. I never bothered to change the buttons over, either! The modern cordless mice will all have a sleep mode to save power, greatly extending bty life.	linw (53)
1333249	2013-03-19 08:17:00	I have an ambidextrous Microsoft 5000 wireless mouse - my whole family are right handed except my mum, who's left and she says it works fine, so if ever you have somebody else using the computer it should be fine for them too. We got it in Noel Leeming, so it shouldn't be too hard to find one .	skeptile2 (16539)
