I suppose what you mean is that you took a
standard right handed mouse and started using it
with the left hand without switching the button
functions. Does that mean that left handers may
have less RSI since most of the time they just
use a regular mouse and move it to the left side
to use it with the left hand?
I also have some mouse RSI on the right. For
sometime I hooked up two rodents - one for each
hand - and would use both hands.
Then I got an ergonomic rodent which esentially
moves your hand from the standard pronated
position (plan down) to the semi-pronated
position (handshake position).
Both these have have worked well.
