I'm a leftie but use my mouse with the right hand.. It's just too much hassle switching between computers at other people's houses that I decided to learn it the "standard" way.

The only other thing I learned this way was guitar for the same reason. I'm horrible at it but I hold it like a rightie. All outdoors sports, bowling, writing, etc are leftie.]]>Mar 17th 2010 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/
Then again, good for Razer for making something for the 1% of the population who is both lefty and left-mouse-inclined. One armed men unite!]]>Mar 17th 2010 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/It's still not practical to use the mouse on the left for games - I don't want to remap WASD to the numpad for every game I start though I have a leftie friend who does this. Much love to Razer for making the effort though

Yeah I have used plenty of gaming mice and everything Razer offers has been more than acceptable. I currently use the right handed version of this mouse and its great. High enough DPI, buttons but not more than you will ever use... you can macro pretty well with just 2 side buttons ]]>Mar 17th 2010 8:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/Mar 17th 2010 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/Mar 17th 2010 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/i guess they'll have to first spend some time looking up wikipedia or something for the name of a smaller snake that's just as potent as a death adder....

I'm guessing he's referring to the LEDs, in which case he's an even bigger moron, considering that an LED uses an absolutely laughable amount of power.

LoL the point is not whether it uses small amount of energy...
The point is that using energy in a non sufficient way...

Yes, when one person buy it, it ain't a big deal, however, when millions of people buy it, it adds up]]>Mar 17th 2010 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/
And my point still stands. You're a moron.

1) Millions of people will not buy this. It will be in the thousands.

2) An ultrabright blue LED will use about 20maA of power. At 3.3v that is 0.04356 watts. That means you would need to have 1,377 of these mice to equal the power of a single 60W incandescent light bulb. (or possibly half that, if it uses 2)

Now consider running a microwave for a minute. That's probably about 900W. Or the computer it's plugged into is at least 65W if a laptop, or 200W if a desktop.

The bottom line is, the total combined LED power use of EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE MICE sold will likely not exceed the power draw of one single US household.

I find it interesting that when using a rifle left handed people face their right side towards the target and use the right hand to aim, while right handed people use their left hands to aim. I find using my right hand to aim in FPS games perfectly natural, and I wonder how righties feel, seeing as it's not their natural hand to aim with (at least for FPS games).]]>Mar 17th 2010 3:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/
Sometimes, I think certain lefties get so used to using the dominant hand in a supporting role for a certain task - counterintuitive, I know. It's sort of like Oscar de la Hoya being a southpaw, but using that hand to jab instead of punch and fighting righty. It feels natural to him and, I suspect, if I boxed it would feel natural to me as well.]]>Mar 17th 2010 4:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/Mar 17th 2010 6:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/Mar 17th 2010 3:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/(Which would also be creepy.)]]>Mar 17th 2010 4:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/Mar 17th 2010 5:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/Mar 17th 2010 5:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/razer-trumpets-leftie-deathadder-southpaws-raise-the-roof-with/
