I think it shows the right-handed version, as illustrated by the other picture: http://www.askergoworks.com/Images/Products/1519/1519_550_L.jpg I guess the idea is that you hold it somewhat like a joystick. http://www.askergoworks.com/Images/Products/1519/1519_842_L.jpg I'd say that ScrollPoint or wheel vs. horizontal or vertical holding ought to be orthogonal features.
