Default Gaming Mouse Recommendations?

I plan on buying a new gaming mouse but am really unsure as to what to buy because I'm left handed. All the gaming mice I've seen are right handed except for a couple of razer mice which I'm unsure about
I was looking at the Razer Copperhead but are all the buttons on the left side of the mouse, or are they equally distributed enough for this to be a proper option?
Also, I have a budget of £40 so please suggest something in that range
I need a new Mouse mat aswell although it's not as important as the mouse at the moment, but I'm open to suggestions on some good mouse mats too.

I've heard Logitech mouses are excellent. And wrong forum, btw, I'll be moving this.

That's the problem though, Logitech don't make left handed gaming mice otherwise I'd have no problem making a choice
I posted it in general just because I knew barely anyone checked Tech section and I was hoping to get one ordered today, no problem though I guess.

Other than the Copperhead these are two ambidextrous mice I found that are suitable for gaming:

If anyone would like me to build a rig, I'd prefer it to be in a thread in the tech section rather than PM. Thank you.

It's strongly right handed only.. It fits in my right hand like a glove.
Sorry, xXpsychoXx, but most gaming mouses are right handed only. There are a few exceptions, but they're ambidextrous, not exactly the most comfortable, since the pinky and ring finger are generally forced to be placed in the bottom of the bump. Plus they don't have both mouse 4 and 5 on the same side, which is much easier(imo).

Yeah
I feel like I should start using my right hand for the mouse but it'll be so hard to get used to and it'll damage my k/d a lot
If only companies catered for everyone

Only 7 to 10% of the world is left handed. If companies were to create a line just for left handers, it wouldn't be efficient because they will have to make an entire production line just to make a single left hander's gaming mouse.
Also, if you're going to be a right hand gamer, consider playing on noobs/newbs servers until you think you're good. Then go back into the regular servers and if your K:d ratio is the same, good job, you're now an ambidextrous gamer.

That's harder than you think in MW2's Matchmaking system
May aswell try a few games with right hand now

Umm..Play Combat Arms? But I think that will throw off your true skills, due to the nooby players.
Read on if you want to know why I call them nooby...
So, it was my FIRST time playing Combat Arms, new weapons, no friends playing, etc. I headshotted just about everyone, including snipers. They all had fancy high level weapons, but needed like a small gang to JUST kill me, who was wondering alone. They soon called me a hacker I believe.
