I think what he means is a mouse that isn't shaped or "tilted" for right-handed people, and there are a bunch of those. I picked up a very generic serial mouse at a recent local computer show -- works fine, has 3 buttons, and is physically symmetrical. If you can't find such a mouse at a computer store, watch for a show coming to a local hotel or exhibition hall. You can find some good stuff that way, if you do a little shopping around. Hope this helps, Ken
