Don't think so. I can only play one-handed.My right arm was partially
paralyzed in a motorcycle accident. I use the Logitech mx510 mouse. All 8
buttons can be programmed to any keystroke you choose. I've been doing this
for many years but this mouse is the best so far. There is a newer
version(518) of this mouse specifically for gamers,though I haven't tried it
yet but it doesn't look much differnt from the 510..

As I understand it, the 518 just has a better dpi than the 510. I also just
got a 510 and I love it. Strangely, I had to pay a little more for the blue
version over the red, since it's not as common or something.

Red MX510 is on sale at Newegg for #28
(http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=26-104-150&depa=0).
They have the blue. but it will run you $39. Not sure why the blue is so
much scarcer, but like I said, I had to pay more for iit. My comp is black
with blue lights, so I didn't really want the red.
