Razer, the gaming hardware accessory maker, has released its first gaming grade mouse specifically for left handers.

The Razer DeathAdder Left Hand Edition, as it will be known, will, says the makers be the "very first gaming mouse designed with the professional left-handed gamer in mind".

“Leftie gamers have long been requesting that we develop a gaming grade mouse that is designed exclusively for the left-handed gaming community and we really value the feedback we receive from our fans”, said Robert “Razerguy” Krakoff, president, Razer USA. “Not many gamers know this, but I am a southpaw myself and feel truly excited to have a mouse that fits perfectly in my left hand. There is really no substitute for gaming with your naturally dominant hand”.

The Razer DeathAdder Left Hand Edition features a unique ergonomic form factor to give lefties a comfort they can call their own for extended gaming sessions.

If that wasn't enough the new mouse boasts five programmable Hyperesponse buttons, as well as the the company's 1000Hz Ultrapolling technology. Other specs include a 3500dpi Razer Precision 3.5G infrared sensor.

It will cost $59.99 in the US and 59.99 euros in Europe when it hits in the next couple of weeks.
