I use my mouse with both hands and like to switch back and forth for comfort reasons. However, this is made difficult by needing to go through about a zillion layers of menus to swap the buttons each time. Is there an easy way to create a single keyboard shortcut that would swap my left and right mouse button?

Edit: My OS is Windows 7.

I dunno about a keyboard shortcut but you can make two reg files that do what's described here. Just click and away you go.

If you really want to get nuts with it, set up an AutoHotkey script that triggers the reg files

Keyboard way of switching mouse buttons on Windows Vista (perhaps 7) and above:

  1. Windows Key
  2. type "mouse"
  3. Spacebar
  4. Enter

Yeah, it's 8 key presses but not too bad... I've done it a bunch

Have you looked at:

http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/44468-eithermouse-059-multiple-mice-individual-settings/

This allows you to swap buttons from your sys tray, and also allows you to have two mice simultaneously.
