August 13th is International Left Hander’s Day. It’s time to celebrate all our left-handed gamers out there!
Overclockers UK may not be Ned Flanders’ Leftorium, but we do have a collection of ambidextrous gaming mice. From popular brands like Logitech and Glorious, these gaming mice are symmetrically sculpted, making them comfortable to use under either hand. We’re highlighting a selection of the ambidextrous mice available on our website, as well as bringing you a few fun facts and famous lefties.
Logitech
First up, we have the ambidextrous mouse from Logitech, their G Pro Wireless. This gaming mouse is the culmination of two years’ extensive research, with big names in esports helping along the way. Every facet has been crafted to enhance your gameplay and comfort, which we are here for.
Equipped with their flagship HERO optical sensor, the Logitech G Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse has a sensitivity of up to 25,600 DPI and a 1ms report rate. In terms of performance, this mouse is incredibly accurate and blindingly fast, every little movement being tracked with minimal lag. What makes it stand out as an ambidextrous mouse is the fact it has removable side buttons. Even symmetrical gaming mice fall down because the side buttons remain where they are most accessible to the righthand thumb. The G Pro Wireless lets you install them on the left, right, or even both sides! Plus, you can then configure them in Logitech G HUB to make this mouse completely suit your left-handed needs.

Glorious
Next up, we have the Glorious Model O, with its iconic honeycomb shell and symmetrical shaping. The Model O is available as a wired or wireless mouse, and in black or white – so spoiled for choice! Whichever aesthetics and connectivity options vibe with you best, this gaming mouse is incredibly lightweight and armed with a highly precise optical sensor. Under your left or righthand, the Model O will accurately track your movements on screen while not triggering fatigue. No heavy lumbering, just quick flicks and swishes!

Fun Fact
Your nails grow faster on your dominant hand. Therefore, lefties will have longer fingernails on their left hand. Feel free to scrutinise your own nails, too, for a moment to check.
ASUS
From ASUS, we have the TUF Gaming M4 Air, which boasts beautiful symmetry whilst still retaining its TUF good looks. This gaming mouse is wired and features a fresh take on the honeycomb shell – sporting geometric triangular cut-outs instead. With a lightweight build, the M4 Air will fit comfortably under either hand. From there, you can enjoy pixel-precise performance with a 16,000 DPI optical sensor and configure the six tactile buttons to your needs. There are even three on-board memory profiles, so you can set this mouse up for different genres and workflows.

Corsair has two gaming mice that stand out for their symmetry and ambidextrous support, the Katar Pro Wireless and Katar Pro XT. Their compact, symmetrical shape is paired with a lightweight design, making them suitable for claw or fingertip grips on either hand. They vary a little, in terms of specification, but both still facilitate high-performance gaming in the palm of your hand.
The Katar Pro Wireless connects to your PC via Corsair Slipstream 2.4GHz Wireless or Bluetooth, boasting up to 135 hours of battery life.

In comparison, the Katar Pro XT connects via USB, but sports a DPI up to 18,000. What’s more, it is equipped with Corsair QuickStrike Buttons, which feature no gap between the button and switch to make this mouse incredibly responsive.

BenQ ZOWIE
Now, I know what you’re thinking. Why am I talking about a monitor brand in a blog about ambidextrous gaming mice? Well, BenQ ZOWIE low-key may be the MVPs of this article, because they have an exciting collection of mice that clearly state if they are symmetrical or asymmetrical. Taking the guess work out of your shopping!
