About once a year I'm reminded that the world doesn't cater for left-handed people. I'm just looking for a very basic left-handed mouse; preferably Bluetooth, with horizontal wheel scrolling, no odd ergonomic designs, and programmable thumb buttons are a nice bonus.
There's so many options for righties, but a really limited selection for a lefty. It looks like the Logitech M650 L might be a good candidate. Previously I've opted for the Microsoft 3600, but supply seems limited and the left clicker eventually becomes unresponsive on every instance I've owned.
Just wondered what every other left-handed mouse user is rocking. I'm aware some prefer to just go right-handed and adapt, but I'm so left-handed in everything I do that I can't comfortably make that leap.

I use the Logitech G903. It's pricier than most, it's symmetrical, not actually left-handed ergonomic, it has 4 side buttons, and it's wireless. I do CAD for a living and it's become an extension of my hand. Logi has similar models with less features that might fit your needs.

The logitech lift left handed one, or maybe a left handed cad mouse?

You can get ambidextrous trackballs, which I've used with regularity since 2006.

I won a left handed vertical mouse in a raffle. it might not be what you are looking for because it's a vertical mouse and you said no odd designs. it has a model number wgsb-016, which my internet search shows is jellycomb brand. it looks like the company that made it went out of business, so it might be hard to find. it is very lightweight and (important for me) it works with linux flawlessly, even with reprogramming the buttons.
i also have a right handed logitech mx keys vertical mouse. it feels about equivalent except the logitech one is heavier and has a proprietary rechargeable battery, so it's kinda worse IMO, despite being a $100 retail (i got lucky and found mine at a thrift store real cheap)
i need to add that having dual vertical mice, one on each side of the keyboard, i can pretend i'm piloting a giant robot if i hold both of them, which has a definite noticeable benefit to my mood. there's no use beyond that. totally worth it.

The left handed M650 in my opinion is a really low effort design especially when compared to their old MX610 (perfectly mirrored).
I currently use Razer's Naga 2020 and it's basically the best left handed mouse on the market right now (it's overkill if you want something simpler), I also have and still use my old MX610 from time to time and if it was still available it probably would be near perfect for you.

Honestly, razer naga left handed is worth it. I know it's expensive, but the quality hasn't let me down. I used one from 2014->2022 then it died (understandable) then the same mouse again since 2022.

Naga left handed is actually really worth it.

The Pulsar X3 LHD drops today which seems to be what you are describing. A Left handed mouse that is slightly ergonomic, simple design, and 2 programmable side buttons.

I couldn’t switch to a left handed setup if I tried. But, I can use a mouse and write at the same time, so why would I want to. That’s just me, hope you fine a setup that works well for you. Following this because my wife does the lefty mouse thing.

I use the Logitech g pro wireless, plus I have the charging mat to go with it, as I always forget to plug wireless stuff in to charge. It's light and using the mat makes it even lighter, comfortable to use and I don't get hand cramp using it.
It actually replaced the left handed wireless Razer, and I wouldn't go back at all.
Just replaced the mouse after years of use with the same model (old one still works but buttons became bubbly after an acetone 'issue' which I can't discuss in case I incriminate myself - moral is don't remove nail polish whilst gaming..).
Since having the mat and mouse, never had to plug in to charge once, I game daily 6+ hours, and it sits at 82/83% charged.
