I'm not left handed myself. The idea came up after thinking about left-hand mice, and now I'd like to know-- how does the other half live!?
(Figured this went in The Arsenal because it involves play style things.)
edit: moved from the Arsenal to General Discussion.
edit?: I REALLY thought I moved this.
I'm curious about this myself. There are a lot of things that right handed people take for granted. Off the top of my head, the numpad and arrow key positions.
I use the standard keyboard controls except for the shield which I changed to X.
This is how the controls worked back in the day of mist and I just adapted to it. Now we have 4 control selections and all I had to do is just modify the standard keyboard.
FYI it isn't the other half, it's more like 10% of the populace.....
I'm left handed. I use the same configurations as Holy has said.
Z to attack.
X to shield.
Arrow keys to move.
Only flaw with this is the fact that aiming without auto-target can make you less accurate however, once you've played for a couple of weeks with it, you get use to it and it's quite easy to use PvE or PvP.
Do you some of you guys use left-handed mice with keyboard controls or use a right-hand-mouse or no mouse at all?
@Holy
Yeah, it is about 10% of people.
Quite a few of us left handed people learned how to be ambidextrous (or ambisinister) out of convenience.
Personally, I play with a right handed mouse and standard controls, despite being left handed.
I normally say I'm ambidextrous to not confuse people, despite not being able to produce anything legible out of my right hand. Then it isn't as much of a shock when I randomly decide to switch hands in the middle of playing golf with them.
I used to play Holy's controls before I had a mouse on a laptop for my first couple years, but now I play the same as Skeptic.
I think you'd be better off posting in General Discussion. It's a larger crowd and the arsenal is primarily for discussing gear.
