Why each option
To configure a mouse for a left-handed user, you should access the Mouse Properties dialog box via the Control Panel.
Configuring alternate input devices is a broader category and not the direct method for adjusting standard mouse handedness settings.
Device Manager is used for managing hardware devices and their drivers, not for user-specific input device preferences like mouse button configuration.
The Control Panel provides access to various system settings, including mouse configuration, where you can swap primary and secondary button functions for left-handed use in the Mouse Properties dialog box. This is the standard method in Windows to adjust mouse settings like button configuration, pointer options, and scroll wheel behavior.
Updating a mouse driver from the manufacturer's website is for fixing driver issues or adding functionality, not for simply configuring existing settings for left-handed use.
