Switching mouse clicks in OS27 for left handed people

In OS 27 Golden Gate, the mouse panel is under Accessibility. But I don't see where we can switch the clicks. I'm left-handed and I use the bouton on the right to click, and the bouton on the left to Right-click.

Hi,

You can switch the mouse clicks for left-handed use in macOS such as macOS Golden Gate by changing the secondary click option to the left side in your system settings.

Steps to Switch Mouse Clicks

  • Open System Settings by clicking the Apple icon in the top-left corner of your screen.
  • Click Mouse in the sidebar menu.
  • Locate the drop-down menu for Secondary click.
  • Choose Click left side to swap the primary and secondary functions for your left hand.
  • Close the window to save your new configuration.

System Settings > Mouse (near the bottom) > Point & Click tab, set the Secondary Click option to Click Left Side.
