Left handed mouse pointer

Hello Apple and all of you! How is it possible to swith the direction of the mouse pointer to the right in Snow Leopard?

I'm left handed, and I've used Unsanity Mighty Mouse for this time under Leopard, but by testing switch to Snow Leo, I realized that it's not working under Snow Leo, the developer have not updated.

Apple please give this function, to us in the mouse panel, this would be the greatest solution, a little switch, like "Lefty pointer" or similar. Or integrate it into Universal Access tap.

Unfortunately I have not found any other solution, under Windows and Linux it's possible for years.

Patrick, http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/17059/icursorhttp://www.lagentesoft.com/Lagente_Software/Home.html (Pinpoint) Are the two from that link that definitely work with 10.6. Mighty Mouse already indicated does not work with 10.6. iCursor the review says it works at least with 10.6.3, and Pinpoint is sold on the 10.6.6 and 10.6.7 only compatible App Store. Check with the developers which versions work with your version of 10.6.

You can use the following app called Mousecape:


https://github.com/alexzielenski/Mousecape/releases/tag/0.0.5


After downloading, installing both the app and the helper app, do the following:

  1. Go to the Mousecape preferences and choose “I am left handed”.
  2. Dump the system cursors into a cape from the menu: “Capes” → “Dump Cursors”
  3. Apply the Cursor Dump cape (right click → apply)
  4. Done!
