Why do so many lefties not learn to WASD? My right hand controls mouse movement, scroll wheel, and 5 buttons, while my dominant left hand regularly controls 16+ buttons. Greater complexity goes to dominant hand ...

As a Leftie, I can tell you right now. WE LEARNED

I gotta say as a guy with one hand, games that don't support changing the keybinds are a real obstacle for me. But this is funny anyway.

I'm left-handed and I can play PC and console games which were designed for right-handed people without a problem.
WASD & mouse on the right hand is like bread and butter to me.
But I can never EVER play Legend of Zelda on the Wii.
They made Link right-handed because of it too.

[url=#user_comment_340841]@Vulpis[/url]: I disagree, ambi mice are perfectly fine for most of us. Obviously it's a very personal preference, but I would never EVER use one of those silly ergonomic mice. I like the ambidextry possibility.
Actually, I can do WASD despite being left-handed, it doesn't really matter if it's my right or left hand on the keyboard since the usual keys are in range either way. XD
Just as a note, the problem in the combination comfortwise tends to be the *mouse*...righty mice are very uncomfortable when placed on the left where it belongs, ambi mice are only so-so, and unfortunately Razer has the only actual lefty mouse that I know of. Hardware's good, but the software sucks.

[url=#user_comment_340786]@ZakD[/url]: The idea is that your mouse hand and movement hands are 'supposed' to be wide apart so all the keys in between can be used easily. This is why almost all WASD games also allow use of the cursor keys.

As a lefty who uses WASD and mouse just fine, I'm completely with Demo-tan on this one. Not to mention that in many games, the cursor T and the numpad work just as well as WASD (I only finally switched to WASD because I got tired of having to switch settings for each new game).

I'm left handed. I play with right handed keys. I just don't see the point in a left handed setup.

@Arlmando Garsedj: Y, French ppl have a strange, original keyboard setup (like names of anything else related to technology)

What the hell is wrong with WASD? I use my left hand on the mouse and use my right hand for WASD. Never had any issues blue plating fools in tribes ascend...
So many left-handed people here. I'm too. But I always used the right hand to move the mouse. Didn't even think about possible troubles for left-handed gamers, lol.

Oh, Jo' is left handed too *-*
And I don't play WSAD ! I'm just too... emm... *kicks Jane*
I use Glovepie, it remaps the controllers on the fly, and I'm perfectly fine with it ! Go try it, left-handed fellows ! \o/
Have to agree with the comments.
Who didn't grew up (and got used to)
using the Mouse & Keyboard combo the
way the control-pattern demanded?
I mean, I can't say I'm using aControler like this just because I'm lefthanded.

I'm left handed and pretty much gotten used to living in the world where every little thing is made worse for us on purpose. I actually prefer to play with my right hand on the mouse and can use normal scissors. It just took most of my life to get to that level...
I'm left handed, but it's awfully uncomfortable for me to use the mouse with left hand. Maybe I can teach myself, but I probably got used to the old-school layout over the years from old games (we are talking about the ones on Amiga and Win 98 here), where you didn't need a mouse.
For some good time I had to use mouse at my left hand, as I had my right wrist immobilized, it sucked so mutch, but after around a month later when I was more used to it I started to think about try to become ambidextrous.
Later I had my right wrist working again and just forget about all that XD
Man, I'm lefthanded and I've never had issues with WASDing.
I mean think about it. Your dominant hand is just on movement as opposed to aiming. And in Starbound, aiming is less important than movement anyway.

During the family outing Engie was surprised to learn that Sniper's father was a soldier in a war and met his mother who was a nurse there. Sniper's father was always of ashamed of killing. Engie was learning that sometimes your past can hold you back. {lemme know if anyone cares about this tale}
[url=#user_comment_340782]@ZakD[/url]: Games should be a fun passtime. I could play with mouse on the left hand, right hand on AWSD, but why should I? I'd much prefer play games which remember lefties exist.
...Uhh, I don't get it.
Surely, the keys on the LEFT part of the keyboard (wasd)are easily available to LEFT-handed people?
Or is there something I'm missing?
