i think he was referring to some gaming mice, most of which are designed to be ergonomic for righties

Or that just the idea of handling mouse with left hand freaks him out ;)

What is there in handling mouse :confused:



i use the mouse normally
LMB is left click,RMB is right click



if you had played games with high-end gaming mice, you would have known that many of them has button config and balance wings positioned for right hand users only, i mean i have two sets of mice, neither of them is of any use to you, and since the shopkeeper dint ask me about being lefty or righty, its evident that there is no option for these made specially for left hand users. So you must be using regular mice, emm. symmetric ones.

I write/brush teeth and perform some other activities subconsciously with left hand.

Once we had to sign the attendance sheet after Company Quarterly results meeting. The lady HR handed me the sheet and when i was signing it, she said "Wow, you are a leftie, I have had very few lefties in my life" . Now my friends constantly tease me about me being a leftie in her life :p

Pure leftie here. I do everything with the left hand... except certain things I'm sure you guys would realize. :lol:

Plot twist: I play the normal stringed guitar (intended for right-handers) in reverse. That is to say, the way I hold it is such that the low-E string is at the bottom and high-E at the top. That's the way I've taught myself to play it. Crazy, right? :p

I am a leftie too with all the outdoor games played with left hand (example cricket - batting and bowling) whereever required.

I write and eat with my right hand (mom kicked my arse out when i was small to get the writting hand to be my right hand). Use mouse with my right (yeah i own a Razer DA).

Insert image link using tag. Or copy and paste BBcode from image sharing sites, where you upload the picture.

I hate games which comes with unchangeable WASD controls.
Had aching fingers with WASD in "The incredible hulk" game, though i got used to it after completed 20% of it. .

I am right handed, but never got myself to use WASD. I use arrow keys for most games(fps) I play.


What keys do you map for jump, crouch, sprint ?
Space,LCtrl,LShift respectively

I used to do that in my starting gaming life but now I am used to WSAD so much that I can easily play racing games and still play some using these keys.
Also when using WSAD then all the essential keys are near so you can use KB with one hand very easily.
