I am lefthanded and would prefer the mousepad "platform" on the left side. Does it slide through?

Yes, it does slide to the left; there are stoppers that will keep it from sliding clear out of the rails.

So do I! I do have to move my laptop over to the left a bit, about 2-3 inches. Then I have all the room I need for my mouse. And you don't need a mousepad with today's mice. Just use the right side of the table.

Yes! It is Lefty friendly. There's a setting on the pen that allows you to switch it over for lefties! That way all the text on the screen isn't upside down.

If you order the custom version from Timbuk2, you can get it in a left handed version. However, the price is a bit higher depending on your configuration.

Unfortunately it is right handed only orientation in that the the pull-out keyboard tray is on the left side and the printer platform and little drawer can only be on the right side. However, you could technically have the mouse be placed just above the keyboard for left handed use. It is a nice simple little computer station. I use it for my teaching station where I put my document camera and necessary binders, books and other teaching materials.

The mouse works well for me. The movement of the mouse is a function of hand pressure and the surface over which it slides. Maybe you need to get a new mouse pad? Amazon would be more than happy to sell you one with your order. (:-)

No, the way the mouse is designed it would be very uncomfortable. I believe there is a left handed edition though.

It navigates well around the pad. If you are using it for the mouse and the keyboard you may run into movement issues. If it is just for the mouse you may run out of room on your desk... and it is a giant pad for just a mouse. Good luck!

No issues. It is smooth enough so that your mouse will glide on it, but if your keyboard has any grips whatsoever on the bottom, it will not move. I have the most basic Lenovo keyboard with 1cm rubber pads at each corner, and have had no issues at all.

I use the 20" separation for gaming comfort. In games where my left hand is using the WASD keys for movement, but my other hand is always on the mouse (so, most PC games), I place the mousepad and mouse *in between* the two keypads. This allows me to keep my two hands comfortably close together, instead of reaching way off to the right to use the mouse. If you game for hours at a time, you'll definitely notice the difference.

On the Wacom's settings you can select between right or left handed. As for the pad is as you were drawing on paper so it shouldn't matter.

None. I'm using a steelseries with no rubber grips on the bottom and I have no issues with it sliding.

yes :) that's the magic of it, Two Identical Buttons (left and right click) and the scroll wheel. perfect for switching for lefties

I use a mouse, not a mouse pad. It seems the computer would be heavier sitting that far to the left and be off balance. It is wide enough, but comfortably so? I don't want to guarantee it.

I wondered that too. I'm a left-handed mouser person and the workstation looks like for only right-handed mouser people. Products should be made so it can accommodate a left or right handed person. I'll shop for something else.

Mine is pretty secure inside both covers. I definitely noticed issue 1 though. I was tearing out my hair wondering what was wrong with the mouse and why it wouldn't switch profiles. :o

It could be that you're hitting the sides rather than the center; since the bottom side serve a as left-right click buttons in a mouse, you generally have to click towards the center of touchpad. I've experienced what you say, but I figured it out by trial and error.
