Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
When a user is left handed and switches the left and right buttons on the mouse, that setting does translate to the other computer. Therefore the mouse is set up for a left handed person on one machine and right handed on the other even when both computers were set as left handed.
### Scenario when this would be used?
Computer A: mouse set up for left handed person
Computer B: mouse set up for left handed person
Configure MWB on Computer A and connect it to Computer B
Computer A mouse is left handed
Moving mouse cursor to Computer B becomes right handed
### Supporting information
I haven't tried this recently because I gave up using MWB due to being so annoying remembering which button is left. I know, first world problem. Left handers rise up!
Thanks.

Research direction
Start by locating the Mouse Without Borders implementation and the code that synchronizes mouse button settings between computers. Reproduce the left-handed setup described for Computers A and B, then trace where the setting is transferred. Done means both connected computers preserve the configured left-handed button mapping.
