How to switch the functions of the mouse buttons in Windows 11
If you’re left-handed, chances are you find the mouse on your Windows PC to be a bit awkward to use.
Yes, you’ve probably gotten somewhat used to it by now, but you can always try switching the functions of the mouse buttons to see if that feels more natural to you. And I have a feeling that it will.
Wanna give it a try? Just do the following on your Windows 11 PC:
1 – Click the Start button, then type mouse settings into the search box.
2 – Select Mouse Settings from the list of search results.
3 – Change the “Primary mouse button” setting to Right.
That’s all there is to it. From now on you can click the button on the right for normal clicks and the button on the left at the times when you would normally “right-click”.
If you happen to find that you prefer things the way they were, simply repeat the steps above and change it back in step 3.
