Left Handed People! Controller/ Key binding.

[Setheroth]

The PC world in general is very bias towards Left handed people.

don't believe me, try by a left handed keyboard or mouse.

Controllers have bridged the gap a bit.

i have an Xbox 1 controller, which atm only allows me to look around.
Please advise.

so alternatively i am using mouse and keyboard.
generally i choose my enter key as interact, but i cannot so i constantly have to press F and to undo press C, both not comfortable keys.
if the arrow keys are your default

Every lefty I know grew up using their right hand for their mouse. It's weird to me. I could not use a left handed mouse as a righty. I don't know how they do it.

keybinding should NEVER be overlooked, not even in early access games. every time they neglect key rebinding they hear about it. then they say " were working on it" why weren't you working on it before you released it? i guess they think no one will notice? they'll never learn.

I am a righty as you call it but I can only use the mouse with my left hand.
So key bindings do not always work for me.

My custom keeb allows me to remap any key. Maybe that would be a good work around for someone in your position.

I start playing video games as a lefty back when UO came out of beta , I'm currently 52 , that means I've been doing this for a VERY LONG TIME lol , I actually dont think even as a lefty I could use a lefty mouse , it would feel alien to me.

everything else in my life my right arm is just a club I can barely swing around in a fight lol
Even my job as a truck driver , with the shifter being in the middle after 30 years is like 2nd nature I guess, I litterally don't think I could shift my truck with my left hand heh.

It's wierd but whatever , the world was build for righties, ..did you know that over a thousand people are killed every day using a right handed tool as a lefty? AND I can't operate a f'n can opener , scissors- forget about those.

This doesn't help in Sunkenland, as they have hard wired the enter key for other uses, so yes you can map the enter key, but it then does two things, which is incredibly annoying.
Also on all the menus, the left click is on the wrong side, so even though you change the clicks around, for shooting etc, when you go to the menus, it reverts back.
For example:
Press for building menu, now the mouse is backwards, so to select what I want to build I have to right click, but then, you go to place the item, but now its switch to left click, as that is your primary key.
This is a great game, but why o why don't they just get a lefty to try it for five minutes before they release it. There are a lot of us out there.

If you would just face the other way, you could use the peripherals just fine...
Try it, I DARE you. :P

I'm right handed, I use my mouse with my right hand, and use my left for the keyboard.

I have no idea why using your mouse with your right hand makes you a left handed person. Actually it has nothing to do with being left handed.

I have no idea what in the name the OP is talking about.
