Details

Unlike any other mouse in Razer's arsenal, this is an ergonomic design for right handed people, which turned some gamers off, but for the ones that can use it, it's a very nice feeling mouse. Regardless if you prefer a palm, finger or claw style grip on your device.

I have the Razer Diamondback, which is of course both left and right handed, and I find it plenty comfortable - but had this been on the market when I got my mouse I probably would have gone for a right handed version over the regular universal one. It took a while to get used to the neutral design and was uncomfortable at first.
