Equipped with PixArt's PAW3370 sensor, the MVP Wireless promises a battery life of up to 64 hours. Kailh GM 4.0 switches are used for virtually all buttons, and at a weight of 76 g, no visible holes are utilized for weight reduction. Pure PTFE feet complete the package.

Review says ambidextrous mouse but since there are no thumb buttons on the right side of the mouse, this is not correct. Please fix that before some lefthanded people buy this mouse thinking they can actually use it equally well in both hands.

The terminology is correct. "Ambidextrous" means that the mouse can be used by right and left-handers alike, without saying anything about side buttons. "Symmetrical" describes a mouse that is axis-symmetrical, i.e., one which has side buttons on either side. A symmetrical mouse could also be called "fully ambidextrous", as a left-handed user could also use side buttons.

I'm aware these terms are often used the other way around, but if we're strictly looking at the semantics of each term, the definition above is the only correct one. The MVP Wireless is *not* symmetrical (it doesn't have side buttons on the right side, too), but it is most definitely ambidextrous; that is, it can be used with either hand.

I've had this exact discussion with southpaws before, they're used to using thumb buttons with their ring ringer (L4). The shape (ambidextrous) is how they describe this type of mouse, and I've never heard them use the word symmetrical before, though it makes sense for a mouse with either no side buttons or mirrored buttons on both sides.

I get it, but even the industry isn't aligned on this. Which is kind the usual.

The industry also says DPI instead of CPI for sensors, even though DPI makes no sense within that context. I prefer using correct terminology.

That said, I might write "ambidextrous (side buttons on left side only)" to avoid any confusion in the future.
