Yeah, I was sick and tired of them delaying it. If anyone is curious, a Samsung Q990B soundbar system does fit in an FRS, albeit out of the box and the box flattened. Lol

I can do it, but I have to "think" about it. I keep wanting to push the left button with my index finger, not my middle finger.

Now that I think about it, since I have used my right hand for a mouse for over 30 years, maybe my left hand is like driving an MT because I have to think about it, making it "more engaging"!

I do better using a right-handed mouse with my left hand than using an actual left-handed one.

The earliest programs I would use did not have the option of assigning buttons and mouses (mice?) came only one way, so I've always used a right handed mouse with my left hand. I use right handed scissors with no problem, and I play guitar right handed. I write, throw and spoon my corn flakes left handed.

If you would have to think about driving an MT, best to stick with an AT.

I had to think about it for a second when I drove an MT in Australia.

I could switch it, but that was even worse. It's only because the desk I'm using on vacation requires me to use my mouse on the left side.

Also, left handed mice are useless when gaming.
