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.
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.

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

… design is all about compromises, lol.
