Are You Mousing In Your Right Mind?

August 13^th 2019 is National Left-Handers Day.  Only 13% of the world’s population are left-handed. Therefore most products are designed for right-handers and that can be a challenge for left-handers when it comes to finding comfortable solutions in the workplace. Several ergonomic manufacturers have recognized the value of offering left-handed mice and it is not just for the left-handers. 

Left-handed mice might be more comfortable for many left-handers to use, but they can provide additional benefits for right-handers as well.

• Alleviate discomfort and stress from repetitive movement. Alternate between left and right hand mousing to allow your hand position, arm movement and muscle use to change.
• Improve functionality with your non-dominant hand. Since your left-hand controls your right brain and your right-hand controls you left brain, alternating mousing hands will use both sides of your brain.
• Reduce shoulder flexion and abduction as well as wrist extension with left-handed mousing.

Here are our most popular mice for left-handed users. The Contour Design Left-Handed Wireless mouse fits the needs of left-handed individuals and offers sizes in medium and large. Additionally, the Logitech Trackman Marble mouse is a great option designed for both left and right-handed users. The new Newtral 3 mouse is a stylish design that offers two gripping options.

We encourage right-handers to give them a try as well since left-handed mousing puts you in your right mind according to research!
