I would bet that if the buyers were willing to wait this long for a left-handed variant of the Naga then they will be happy with what Razer has put out and will buy more Razer gear to match their new mouse. On the flip side of that, it makes Razer look good for actually listening to that small percentage of gamers and making a mouse for them. The market for gamers who want a left-handed MMO mouse is a niche within a niche and they will gladly buy it from the Razer Store if they really want it and have waited this long for it. I would expect they will only sell it on their online store because manufacturing and shipping even more units to resellers (Newegg, TigerDirect, Best Buy, etc.) will only lose them more money.
For how much it will cost them to design, manufacture, and ship a left-handed variant they will likely lose money due to how small the market is. Few companies make left-handed counterparts to their right-handed mice and even fewer companies do it for "gaming" mice. which borrowed a few things from the original Naga.I think it's more for the marketing aspect.
