Left-handed mouse in-game problems - Silver - 04-19-2011
Hi, basically I am lefty and I have a Razer deathadder left-handed edition. Since I've always been used to right-handed mice, I want my *left click* to be on the left button obviously. But my mouse being a left-handed edition, has the *left-click* on the right button, so everything is reversed, which I don't want.
I checked the box in control panel so it switch both buttons on my mouse and everything is fine when I am not playing any games. Where it comes annoying is when I play games from developers who didn't think about poor left-handed people like me and their game doesn't take in consideration my windows settings. So if I either check the "switch buttons" box or not, as soon as I'm in-game, it detects my mouse as a left-handed one....so I have to press the right button to navigate in the menus.
I know I can switch both buttons in the game option so the left one "Attacks" and the right one "Aim" but it doen'st work in every game (ex.: GTA: san andreas, GTA: episodes from liberty city, magicka, etc) In TF", portal/portal2, l4d(2), css, it works fine and these games detects that I want my buttons to be the same as a right-handed mouse. All i want is hold a right handed mouse in my left hand, but it's designed for a lefty and it fits good in my hand :/....
*Yes I tried to uninstall my razer driver so it doesn't messes up my configurations but it still won't do it.
I can't find any solutions anywhere since there are not so many people with this problem....any HELP????

Hi Silver,
Basically what the issue is that since a lot of games access the hardware directly, they ignore the button remapping from Windows.
One solution is to rewire the buttons on the mouse
Besides that, there are few driver/software fixes that will really solve your problem.

Yeah that's what I think too, but I can't find any driver/softwares :/ if you find any, I'd be glad to give it a try.

Does the game have a built-in action mapper? I know you can manually make the buttons be different in games like TF2.

Mice are generally single layer pcb. The mini-switches aren't too hard to get at. I've done RHD-LHD conversions before, but on older Logitech mice.
