Hi,

I need to make an app that switches the left / right mouse buttons for left-handed users that use two-button input devices. I'm hoping there exists some kind of raw mouse data hook that the app can hook into, and I'm hoping that this can be done at a high-level. Anybody know how to do this
?

I think most people depend on the companies' custom mouse drivers. However, you might be able to do this by creating or altering the IOKit device interface for the mouse. The device interface is a user-space (rather than kernel-space) entity. Of course, I know nothing about IOKit, but that's where I'd start.
