  Of course it’s designed for right handed people

    Apologies, genuienly, even though I’m just a fanboy for this thing.

    Like I’ve … I’ve literally begged this company to diversify and expand from this mouse model.

    I suggested they do like a more expensive ‘gamer’ version that has a higher polling rate, a left handed version, maybe figure out how to do swappable body kit parts to dial in the kind of grip you want.

    I genuienly do not understand how they can make and sell this thing at $30. Nothing comparable exists in that price range, that I am aware of.

    They’re sitting on an incredible design they could potentially expand on.

      It’s just such a shame that so many “ergonomic” things are designed for right handed people, rather than being hand agnostic.

        Unfortunately, you’d have to actually make a left and right hand version… ‘hand agnostic’ wouldn’t work with this kind of design.

        Imagine a non reversible hand agnostic glove.

        Hope your thumb and pinky are identical, on each hand, just swapped.

        Mirroring the entire hand isn’t the same as a hand being symmetrical.

        … you could perhaps try to model a mouse around a pistol grip or flight stick… not sure if that would be doable to work out to the correct wrist angles though?

        Hrm.

        Actually, a standard dildo with balls design might actually work as a kind of basic shape to work from…

        … the balls would be the place the pinky side of your hand rests on… then you’d need symmetrical flaring/indentation where either thumb could go… make the left and right click and scroll wheel be along the … would it be dorsal? side of the shaft, have a button or switch elsewhere that can flip buttons and wheel orientation between left and right handed use.

        You’d also have to weight the bottom of this thing to prevent it from toppling, the whole thing would have to be fairly heavy.

        … design is all about compromises, lol.

  It takes some time to get used to, but once it clicks its hard to go back to standard mouse.

    Once it clicks, eh?

    You can literally bind a button to double click with this one, so theoretically the process should take half as long =P

  can it horizontal scroll with the scrollwheel?

  source

  • sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Ah, no, vertical only.

    Ok, I just futzed around with the thing…

    You can, apparently, bind a button to ‘Horizontal Scroll’, and what that does is make it so when that button is pressed, the mouse wheel now scrolls horizontally.

    … I didn’t even know it could do that lol.

    Not sure if that meets your requirements.

  My wife has the Logitech one and she loves it. I use a track ball myself.

  Is there a trackball version?

  source

  • sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Not that I am immediately aware of no, not from this company.

    Personally I’m not a trackball guy, not to knock it as a concept, I’ve tried and used a few… I just don’t know much about em.
