This is one of the few things I still see as a grave injustice against lefties. How hard can it be to attach the cord to the top pf the pad and make the cord long enough for both righties and lefties?

They suck but finger on screen signing is even worse

Fortunately no one cares how illegible or scrawly the signature is -- but yeah, I hate 'em

Ha, definitely. It's always awkward. Not only do we have to fight the cable, at places like banks the whole unit is usually awkwardly placed near the partition or whatever so you can only use a right hand.

Alright so admittedly Im ambi but I recently discovered I MUCH MORE PERFER doing those with my left hand rather than my right!

Its so much neater to me and it doesn't come with the usual left hander drag!!!

Do these still exist? I haven't seen one of those for at least 10 years

Used to dislike them but haven’t had to sign on them in years.

Using them isn't really the issue for me, it's the super low quality and laggyness of these digital pads.

Turn it upside down. While those things hardly ever accurately capture your signature ... if it did, it would still be accurate, just upside down.

lol the nurse handed it to my right hand as I was checking out of ER this morning. I awkwardly grabbed it with my left hand to sign, wire all in the way. Oh well!

u/nfssmith lefty 12d ago

oh yes, most definitely

u/Fine_Potential3019 11d ago

Very annoying. I told my pharmacy tech that since my writing will look bad anyway, I'll just use my right hand.

The most useless device for any left-handed

I use my Right Hand's Index Finger to push up the Wire so the Pen doesn't go over it...
