Computer Desks for Lefties

Even though south paws are few and far between, they have not been forgotten! Read on to discover how you can make your computer desk more user-friendly for a lefty.

Left Handed Computer Desks
Any symmetrical desk can easily be arranged for a right or left-handed user. For desks that are non-symmetrical, many can have their features assembled to cater to the lefty. Some parts that can be arranged include the keyboard tray, the CPU holder and the storage hutch. These desks have pre-drilled holes on both sides for each accessory so you can situate your desk features around you. Look for L-shaped desks, especially, to be versatile like this.

Left Handed Computer Desk Accessories
A left hand mouse is often hard to find and is a commonly needed computer accessory. If you can't find one, use a standard mouse that is not shaped for specifically the right or left hand. A left hand mouse can be costly, but will typically be ergonomically correct and reduce pain that can occur from using a mouse often. Shaped specifically to fit the left hand, a left hand mouse may be necessary in the instance of carpal tunnel or arthritis.

Unless you have already adjusted to a right handed person's keyboard, you may also be looking for a left handed keyboard. The numeric pad is switched to the left hand side of the keyboard, as are the directional arrows and the small block of page location keys. Another convenient left handed keyboard is adaptable to right-handed users, also. Broken into three sections, this keyboard can be pieced together to fit your favorite configuration.

In order to discover other left-handed computer accessories, visit your local computer store to see what is available. There are many accessories that are built for either right or left-handed people so that they are usable by each type of person.
