I've used tablets off and on over the years, and I'd say they are a drastically increased value proposition for us lefties. I'd casually switch between the mouse for mousing tasks and the pen for pen tasks (without having put either down), use the keypad willy-nilly (for adjusting opacity on the fly), and generally treat my left-hand as "tablet hand" and right hand as "everything else" hand, and can't imagine how anyone would settle for any less! It's as if the product and paradigm has a built-in "40% more value for lefties!" deal on every shipment!

I draw with my left on the tablet and use my five button mouse with my right which works great for me. Which hand goes to the key board varies but I'd say it's quite usable in the way your describe.

Are you left handed? We push our pens instead of pull. That's why pens always start skipping when we use them!

The working area does NOT matter. Trust me on this. Get the small tablet. Reason: you will map the tablet touch sensitive area much smaller than the total space available. Why? Because you really do not want to move your hand all over the tablet when drawing.

Genius Wireless Pen Mouse should feel comfortable either left or right handed, I'm right handed and can work with the left for drawing,the Pen works well both.

I'm not left handed, but when looking at this I do not see where it would cause you much problem. the shortcut buttons are not raised up to where you would be hitting them or anything. They are all flat/even with the whole device.

The pencil/stylus can be held in either hand. You need to download the app to use it though. It is not right or left hand specific.

I was wondering about using on the left hand? I use a regular mouse now on the left hand, any reason why it wouldn't work? Also anchored models or similar makes? Thanks for the help. Just my left elbow bothers me with the regular mouse.

I have this tablet and am left handed. I use the left handed option all the time and it works great!

It shouldn't be a problem, I am left handed and so long as you chose the setting for what works for you (mouse style movement or geographic movement on the tablet.) Use the settings and see what works. It depends on what you are doing but it is great for drawing. Am graphic artist, so long as you can get the whole pictureing what you are doing in your mind and not see it under the pen you should have no problem. Good luck!

You and I are looking for the same touchpad!!! I don't believe anyone is making the multi-touch point pad we want yet (at least not at an affordable price); this one is a two points of touch pad, so you can do limited gesturing only; I do use it with Windows 8 on a desktop that I dual boot with Windows 7. It's a nice change for my right hand since I use a normal mouse with scroll wheel at work.

Keeping in mind that I am so used to using it left handed the quick attempti made produced awkward results, however if someone has never used it before I suppose they could get used to using it that way. The keys themselves are not pitched more in one direction or another as to make themselves unusable if pressed with the other hand. Something worth pointing out is that your thumb is kinda just left hanging there with nothing to support it. So while not ideal, it is still doable.

I can use it with either hand and it works so well, I have begun to use it all the time. Good luck!

I am pretty sure the instructions say that you can hold the pencil stylus either lefty or righty. It is ambidextrous. The game app presents letterforms to trace; it makes no reference to handedness.

I used it either left or right handed. Dexterity is an issue. If you are good at play station and other type of games, you will have no problems. I am 60 years old and my hand to brain training is limited. A little practice though and the thing works great.

The model I have is for the right hand. I think it would be uncomfortable and difficult to try to use it with your left hand. I'd recommend against it.

The default model is right hand only, but I have seen a left hand version. I am not sure where it came from.
