Did you buy one?  Is that picture showing the left-handed
or right-handed version of the mouse?  I'm skeptical of
the "turned sideways" idea -- if the picture shows the
right-handed version, it looks like you'd have to put the
mouse about 2 feet from the keyboard in order to not
contort your wrist to use it.  Maybe it's the left-handed
version, but it would be odd to picture the less popular model.
