Do you think this is possible?

See I want a left handed mouse, because I think that the mouse is best in the left hand (because your right is free to *fap*fap*fap*). So that is the hand I use it in, problem is all super awesome mice are for right hand's. So the buttons are on the wrong side.

Logitech makes a left handed laser mouse as seen below. They also make a right handed WIRED version.

Wireless = failure.

Do you think, if I got this left handed one, and then a wired right handed one.....

Do you think I could use the innards from the right hand mouse, put them into the left hand mouse shell and make a left handed wired mouse?
Then take the wireless parts and make a right handed wireless mouse and sell it lol?

Do you think it is possible, with my skill level?

sure it would be possible, but why do you hate wireless?

Also it is a *PROVEN FACT* that wireless has a tiny millisecond of lag compared to wired, and that matters in a FPS.

Don't see why you can't do what you want, with a right handed mouse's guts in a left handed mouse casing. Probably just a case of rewiring the button contacts, which will be standard wires to rubber contact pads or tacts anyway. (at least that is what I saw a while ago when I repaired an old Logitech mouse I had).

With a mouse, it is ALWAYS tact switches, that's where the "click" comes from.

Oh please. The lag is insignificant compared to human reaction time.

You know there's an option to switch right and left mouse buttons in windows, right?

eh i notice it. makes it feel like theres drag on the mouse cursor. it gets worse as the batteries are used.

also, to Killgood, try the RAZER line of mice. theyre phenominnal and ambidextrous

highly UNlikely, and here's why:

wireless and corded mice are very different from a hardware perspective. This means that the placement tabs, etc. will be in a different place for each respective mouse and would mean you would probably have to do a whole ton of cutting and fabbing to get it to work, if not ghetto rigging like crazy, and who wants a ghetto rigged mouse, amiright? There is a small chance that since they are almost the same mouse made by the same company that they might be the same outer shell, but this is still VERY unlikely unless you can see a hole on the front of the wireless mouse where a cord would normally go. So, to conclude, is it possible? yes. Will it be easy? probably (almost definitely) not. Will the end result function with OEM quality? almost absolutely positively not, if even one placement tab is different it will mean loose internal components and you would have to stuff your mouse with miscellaneous crap to hold stuff in place.

end conclusion: keep looking or deal with wireless.

No see they make a mouse that is the EXACT SAME except it is flipped 180 degrees and has a USB wire.

If you're so picky about mice that you think you can notice a difference in responsiveness between a modern wireless mouse and a wired one then you don't want a mouse like that anyway. You'll want a "gamer" mouse with DPI adjustments and all those bells and whistles.

As for the charge. Just check the battery indicator before you to go bed. The one on my Logitech updates in 5%-increments and if it's under 30% I put it on the charger over night.

The only wireless mouse that ever died on me in the middle of a game was an old Microsoft one with no battery indicator at all.

Also I use wireless for gaming. Good stuff. Look at the Random Mod V.
