Cyberpunk's Options for Left-Handed Users Are Embarrassing

[Cymbaline]

It's 2025, over four years after the launch of Cyberpunk 2077, one of the most expensive games ever made, and it still has 0 support for lefties, roughly 10% of the population. The game overrides my Windows mouse settings entirely and doesn't give me the option to fix them. If that weren't enough, rebinding keys is entirely subpar as well, with some buttons hardcoded.

I've played zero budget indie games that handle left-handed support better than this game. What gives? It's embarrassing how bad it is in this game.

also sinister, but due to ease of working on other servers and machines in general I've taught myself to be fine with the dexter world, at least as far as computing goes. an IT career could prove frustrating if the first thing you do is remap people's mouse buttons to be backwards and move it to the left side. :-)

so, nothing is hard-coded, but advanced configuration is not possible from within the in-game menu, you have to edit at least one .xml and one maybe two .json (because controlling V is one thing, and menu choices and in-game GUI are another) lefties have to do this, ESDFs have to use this, etc. some people want custom mappings for non-defined keys too, and you'll need scancodes for those and iirc editing yet another file; they're in various subdirectories, in and below steamapps\common\Cyberpunk 2077r6\config\

though this is brought up frequently, so I'm guessing once you stop being angry about it, if you put your google-fu to good use, you can probably find on here, on nexus, on CDPR's Cy77 forum, or the Cy77 subreddit, configuration files already done for lefties, I'm sure some other generous person has put up configs so non-technical people won't have to do it all manually. (there's a lot of things to change for each key, because they have states, conditionals, and most keys have both a tap and a hold setting.)

happy sinister hunting!
