They are great, but I have two issues with my left handed one:

  • Right handed people just cannot use it, I can't just give someone else my mouse for a minute.
  • For some stupid reason, the left and right mouse button are switched, so now I have to switch it back in software, so now the buttons on my laptop touchpad are switched.

The IT manager at my previous job used this as a security feature.

People thought that because he was the IT manager he could just get another mouse, so they'd just take his when they left their mouse at home and never return it.

So he got a left handed vertical mouse even though he is right handed.

Nobody steals his mouse now because it is vertical and cannot be used in the right hand.

We had a guy learn Dvorak specifically so no one could take his keyboard. Madman or brilliant?

Can't you just go into system settings and have it function as qwerty? You wouldn't be able to hunt for a key, but if you touch type it shouldn't matter.

I think if the keyboard had dvorak in it's firmware (rather than set on the pc) you would need a dvorak-to-qwerty conversion setting which I've never seen on a pc.

Most custom layouts (mine included) just assume the keyboard is sending qwerty.

I've got a left handed mouse with switched buttons. I'm so used to it now that it takes a good 5 seconds for me to figure out how a normal mouse works.

I've used the standard button layout of a right handed mouse all my life, I'm not suddenly switching now.
