Both of my parents are left-handed and I am ambidexterous. I grew up using a mouse left-handed. While I used to be able to use a mouse with either hand, the left has always felt more natural and now my right wrist is usually uncooperative. I had a lovely little mouse that worked just fine with either hand, but it's PS-2 and my new board only has PS-2 for the keyboard. I need to find a good USB mouse that's ambidexterous. I'd prefer it to be wired if possible, but wireless would work if need be.
Any suggestions?

Well if your happy with the mouse you have, you could just get one of these...

Its a pretty cheap alternative to buying a new mouse.

Well, there's always the good old Logitech standard. :D Cheap, fairly comfortable, and it will never break. I am firmly convinced of this :P I have the original model that this current design is based on, and it still works great after about 10 years of use. :D

If you are just looking for something that'll work well for lefties, Razer actually makes a left-handed version of the DeathAdder now:

What price range are you looking for? Optical or laser? Does DPI matter? Several manufacturers make high quality ambidextrous mice, it's just a matter of finding the one that is best for you.
...or you could just get an adapter like OvRiDe suggested...but that's no fun. :P

Yea my logitech MX610 broke, currently using my old mouse from 1999~2001 again. logitech optical.
There is a distinct difference in accuracy between laser and optical if you play video games.
the "chops" are smaller, like if your trying to head shot someone from across the map, you'll get 5 pixel bumps instead of 1 or 2 makes for some difficult distance shots on optical

All of the different options are looking good. Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure what I'll choose yet, but I'll share it when I decide.
