A mouse for lefties: eh, it's a start
Southpaws have it rough. Everything is made for right-handed people, so if you want to drive a stick shift, write on a spiral bound notebook, or use a can opener you're at a serious disadvantage. And computer mice, they're all nice and ergonomic… if you're right handed.
While no, we don't live in a wonderful fantasy world where Ned Flanders opened a store for lefties, there is some good news for those of you out there who struggle daily with the crippling disease of left-handedness. This mouse has a switch on it that flips the right and left mouse buttons, so you just need to move the mouse to the other side of the keyboard when a lefty comes over to check his email. Sure, you could just fiddle with the mouse settings on your computer to do the same thing, but this one has a switch! Hot damn! All this can be yours for a mere $22.

Of course for Windows, they've had that option in the Control Panel to do that for quite some time.

Crippling disease!!! Watch it buddy! I might just turn out like Magneto and say were the next step in eveloution and wipe out all the righties in an all out war... and yeah they have had that option for a long time but I'm sure lots of people couldn't find it, and not all mouses are ergonomic for both.
on your cellphone!
