It has been estimated that roughly 10-12% of the population is left-handed. This means that the vast majority of gamers are right-handed, and therefore a lot of mice are built with this in mind, including some of the mice in our top list for 2023.
However, there is always a huge need for high-performance, well-balanced, and affordable gaming mice for left-handers.
Here are our top picks for left-handers for 2023.
1. Logitech G903 Lightspeed
The Logitech G903 is a wireless gaming mouse that does pretty much everything. With 11 programmable buttons and an accuracy of 12,000 DPI, this ambidextrous mouse offers more than most. Mechanical push-button tensioning allows you to customise it accurately and you also have five profiles you can switch between. Wireless charging using the PowerPlay substrate is another great feature that makes the 32-hour battery life no problem at all.
2. SteelSeries Sensei Ten
While the SteelSeries makes several excellent mice, the Sensei line has delivered this solid product with an ambidextrous design. The SteelSeries Sensei Ten has two thumb buttons on both sides, so left-handers are at no disadvantage. With SteelSeries Engine, you can customize two RGB lighting zones to suit your preferences and adjust macros and button mappings. If the extra thumb button is in the way, you can disable it or set it to media playback or volume control.
3. Razer Viper 8KHz
The Razer Viper 8 KHz gaming mouse is a comfortable, dual-use design with 8,000Hz polling rates and Razer Focus+ 20k sensors, providing intelligent tracking of all mouse movements. The Razer has eight programmable buttons. Although light gaming mice are now in fashion, only 71g may be too light, so before you buy a left-handed mouse like the Razer Viper 8 KHz, ensure you are satisfied with the feel of using a light mouse.
4. Corsair M55 Pro
The Corsair M55 RGB Pro is a versatile gaming mouse for left- and right-handed users. It features precise optical sensors, customizable RGB lighting, and six programmable buttons. The lightweight, dual-purpose Corsair M55 RGB Pro delivers a comfortable and customisable gaming experience for many players.
5. Microsoft PN7-00003
The Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Mouse 3600 is the left-hand mouse for people with a limited budget. It’s compact and affordable, yet it’s built to fit. It’s ideal for people who want a reliable wireless mouse that travels a lot and is easy to carry.
And because it’s a dual-purpose design, it’s also a great choice for left-handed users. Microsoft’s peripheral devices are highly valued, and the Bluetooth Mobile Mouse 3600 is a good example. If you’re not concerned about performance, and want a mouse that doubles up for work, this is a solid choice.
6. Razer Viper Ultimate
The Razer Viper Ultimate is one of the best ambidextrous gaming mice you can buy. It has a 20,000 DPI sensor with 99.6% resolution accuracy, which ensures that even the finest movement of your mouse is tracked. This is a mouse for serious gamers. It also has up to 70 hours of battery life, and comes in a variety of colours.
