I will be out for an hour or so and will hold off with the solution until I return.

Of course, the first one I try to solve is just weird for me 
I have to use my brain because I am in Scholar's Bowl which is similar to Jeopardy in teams except it is a school function and looks good on your college resume.

DevDocs API Documentation[^]

Very nice, but a pity that C# documentation is missing ...

Haxe looks very interesting, but strangely I don't know anyone using it

Interesting. I will research more later today after work. Most of this is useless to me right now, except for some of the common Web related documentation, from a quick glance, but it looks like there is something for everyone, almost.
It looks like you have to enable the docs for most of it, via the site's preferences menu.

The mere length of the list makes me happy I don't do web development...

Oh no, I am in a Web Design class...
At least we use SeaMonkey(a WYSIWYG editor)

There's a huge difference between a mere WYSIWYG editor, and the need for...well, needing the frameworks listed on that site.

My turn to rant ...
A couple of months ago, lulled by positive reviews like this[^], I got myself a Corsair Harpoon mouse, may its name live in infamy!
This is nothing like what I've expected. Biggest problem is the ridiculously short battery life: about a week on average and that's without the fancy RGB lightning. I was used to Microsoft mice where I would recharge batteries once every 6 months or less and now I'm stuck with this thing that dies on me every other week.
To add insult to injury, the software that comes with it is atrocious. All fancy-schmancy UI but every other day it says the device is not available and it cannot show me the battery level. I have to restart the frigging UI to find the mouse again. Besides the battery level is available only when using the RF dongle, not in Bluetooth mode. That occupies another USB port on my hub.
In short, this is not a wireless mouse. It is a wired mouse that can occasionally be disconnected. bleah...
[end of rant]
Can someone recommend a mouse that (in order of importance):
- is ambidextrous. I alternate between my hands to avoid RSI.
- has a good (maybe gaming level) resolution. I occasionally do PCB design and other CAD work.
- is wireless. Heck, we are in 21st century!
- doesn't break the bank

DAMN!!!
Ye man, get yourself a cheap logitech mouse, I have an old Logitech mouse M510, I don't remember the last time I changed batteries (it uses 2 AA batteries)
It's quite symmetric (couple of buttons on the left side that I never used) so can probably be switch left/right.

Thanks for the tip. One review[^] says:Quote: This is an affordable mouse for people who don't care much about how accurate or responsive the mouse is,
Well... I care about how accurate it is

Never met an "accurate" wireless mouse. Maybe if it was the only wireless thing around.

Well, this one, I have to give it to it, is very accurate. No sudden jumps or lack of responsiveness even in Bluetooth mode.

I have the K350/M510 combo -- actually, it's my second one -- first one last > 5 years, IIRC correctly. My biggest complaint is the lettering wears off the keyboard.
The mouse works quite well and the battery life is probably a year.
I use Amazon Basic mice for my laptop and work laptop, and I'm pleased with them, although the battery life is probably 6-9 months. They won't work for the OP as they are right-handed only.

I have a Logitech MK710 Keyboard / Mouse combo, and it works very well. My old MK700 / 710 combo had the keyboard last a couple years on a single set of batteries, and the mouse roughly the same (I did turn it off when I wasn't using it). I can't use it currently, as I use my computer while on a sofa in my Living Room, and the signal can't go through my legs (the mouse is on my right side next to the back of the sofa, and the computer is to my left).

A good mouse is hard to find. I have been repairing my mouse since I got it almost 15 years ago because it is without equal and yet was discontinued by the manufacturer in favor of the wireless port that has numerous issues, for reasons I can only imagine involve battery company shadiness. (Used ones go for $80 on ebay/amazon whereas the wireless ones cost $15 new, I think I paid $20 for this one new and have spent around $20 in repair parts). I have replaced the right click button twice, left click once, the optical lense once, scratched the cat hair out numerous times... and yet I've never had to replace the battery because it is wired. It's also a trackball, so it does not physically move, ever, so being wireless is of zero benefit. My friend, who bought the wireless version after I talked up my wired version, and has replaced it three times in the last 12 months! He uses NiMH rechargables which last about a week so he just keeps a spare all charged up and ready to go.

I have one of those, and love it. Been using logi trackmen for 30 years, and wouldn't go back to a regular mouse.

There's, indeed, your problem.
I can sympathize with the Corsair iCUE interface myself ('seems overly bedazzling and arrests CPU cycles at oddly ironic times) ... but it's the heavy duty braided USB cable attachment to USB (blue) that guarantees voltage and makes a ... closet full of M65 RGBs my go-to supply of input devices when a switch on an 'old' one goes south.
I even engrave them as they pass through my daily use pattern on their final leg to eternity standing on Saturns rings, audible, at rest in Valhalla.
