English language (monolingual) [Non-PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Computers: Hardware / Mouse design
English term or phrase: Ambidextrous
The mouse has an Ambidextrous Ergonomic Design,
Designed for comfort

I know that ambidextrous is a person who can use both his right and left hand, and therefore in this case does it means the mouse can be used by right-handed and left-handed persons?

Thank you!

Explanation:
an ergonomic mouse is key in the fight against carpal tunnel syndrome and related repetitive strain injuries (RSIs). An ambidextrous ergonomic mouse is especially important for gamers — and a rarity too, as ergonomic gaming mice are often only made for right-handers. With a Goldtouch ambidextrous ergonomic mouse, you’ll play for as long as you want to without having to worry about injury or pain.

Example sentence(s):
  • An ambidextrous mouse will allow you to switch off mousing hands throughout a long gaming session.
