Best mice and keyboards for left-handers

Left-handed mousing is mostly a geometry problem. A sculpted right-hand mouse puts the thumb shelf under your fingers; a full-size keyboard with a number pad pushes a left-side mouse thirty centimetres out from your shoulder. Fix those two and most of the discomfort goes with them.
We rate mice by whether the shell is genuinely mirrored (not just symmetric), whether the extra buttons land under the left thumb, and whether the size suits the range of hands we test with. Keyboards aren't handed, but width is: a tenkeyless or 75% layout keeps the mouse close, and any board with software remapping lets you move the arrow cluster wherever you like.

FAQ
Is a vertical mouse worth it?
For long sessions, usually yes: the handshake grip takes rotation out of the forearm. Very few are made in a left version; the Logitech Lift is the one from a major brand.
Can I just use a symmetric mouse?
Yes, and many left-handers do. You lose the side buttons or have to remap them, and you don't get a thumb rest.
Do left-handed keyboards exist?
A few, with the number pad on the left. Most people are better served by a compact layout and moving the mouse closer.
