Is there some way to switch the mouse button "handedness" in-game?  I have a cluster of repetitive stress injuries which are aggravated by excessive mouse use.  I cope with this by using my left (non-dominant) hand most of the time -- websurfing, working with documents, and other everyday activities -- so, naturally I have Vista set up for left-handed use.  However, I'm not sufficiently ambidextrous to play EQ2 left-handed, especially in raiding situations.  Sometimes my cursor just has to be where it needs to be, when it needs to be there & "close enough" isn't nearly good enough.  So, is it possible to be "right-handed" in EQ2, even though Vista thinks I'm "left-handed"?Yes, I use the keyboard extensively.  Sometimes I have to use the mouse anyway.Also, I know that it's possible to set up two different profiles in Windows, with one left-handed and one right-handed.  That's what I've been doing, actually.  However, it's kind of inconvenient to have to be switching back and forth between profiles.  I'd like to be just one person, if possible.  <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

You should be able to just go into the options menu and set up the buttons however you'd like. Just find the function that you want to use, then change it to use the mouse.
