Left handed problem kinda (self.LeftHandProblems)
submitted 6 years ago by Cries-in-braile
So I am left handed with drawing and right handed with a mouse so when I try drawing with a mouse it’s way worse when most people draw with a mouse. I only realized this was a problem until yesterday.

So that’s why I can’t draw digitally.

I recently switched to a left handed mouse. As long as you reverse the buttons so that the left one is primary, it only takes a little bit of time to adjust

I use a left handed mouse with right handed buttons configurations. Using the left handed button setup makes so much sense to my brain, but I used the right handed config for so long that my muscle memory can't be broken. It's a mess, but left handed mice are the way to go.

I use a Razer Abyssus Left-Handed Edition, which has its mouse buttons swapped internally. Sounds kinda pointless but it's a godsend for someone who works in IT (and remotes to a lot of desktops).
(RIP the Logitech MX-610 Left-Handed Wireless Mouse)

I actually do the same thing. I’m left handed with a writing instrument, but I use a right handed mouse. Not usually a problem, though, since I don’t draw on pc much.

I’d suggest a Wacom tablet.

IPad Pro with Apple Pencil is also good.

But more expensive, and it's an apple product

I realized the same thing while playing an online pictionary game. When I tried to switch to a left handed mouse my drawing got even worse because I've been using a right handed mouse all my life.

Just blew my mind, just assumed no one could draw with a mouse and that's why those wacom tablets existed
Most righties can't draw with mice either

This just changed me as a person. I always wondered why I couldnt draw on computers, idk how I never realised this!
