Two friends (same family) both must hold a computer mouse ‘backwards’ to use it; they give it a 180 degree spin on the desk - so the ‘tail’ of the mouse trails out the top, following the fingers out. Seems odd, but there it is.
Several problems ensue: using a laptop’s touchpad is crazy-making for them (as crazy as it feels for me using a mouse spun 180 degrees); a right-click is no longer available on their mouse since after turning the mouse around their fingers are touching what is the lower portion of the mouse; newer gestures and advanced features of some input hardware is inaccessible to them.
I’m looking for software / hardware (Logitech? Microsoft?) that would allow her to have the mouse UI spun 180 degrees, or a fix for a trackpad that would effect the same result.
Any ideas?
