2, I'm left handed... this constant need again for left and right mouse buttons just gets compounded because everything kinda gets reverse. the whole thing just goes beyond confusing on a program that is "strange" when it comes to it's interface...

You are not the only one. I've found a tablet is a great thing, configuration is the same for left and right handeds, also the use of it. I use it for blender and for all.
