Just found this thread:
I'm another lefty (massively so - scoring maximum on the various tests), and have no problem with the K3. In fact, I find I really like it for his handleability. And yes, my mouse is on the left hand side (I use a rollerball mouse though).
On the handwriting: I was well taught, and am lucky enough to have a good three point grip and can happily write cursive (my writing slants to the right). I do calligraphy (using right handed pens) as a hobby. However, I am a primary teacher (year 5, 9-10 year olds), and in the past 7-8 years have not seen a single left hander arrive in my class who either (a) holds the pen properly or (b) writes remotely neatly. To my mind the really big issue is that children are being encouraged by parents to write well before they are physically ready, and by the time they come to be taught at school, the grip is hard set and it's nigh on impossible to sort it out without major remedial treatment. And as for getting them to tilt the page.....nightmare.
As far as I can see, hooking tends to creep in once children start using ink pens, and without tilting the page, forcing the writer to lift their arms out of the way of banging into their body.
