Just learn to use it right handedly.
I don't know if this is supposed to be a joke, but it's not that simple. Handedness is neurologically determined, and it's not something you can "just learn" to do the other way around. And besides, why should left-handed people even be expected to do that?Originally Posted by Pooky
My friend plays games like that.
I broke my right wrist when I was in school. I had to learn how to write using my left hand. Granted it wasn't nearly as neat as writing with my right hand, but it was completely legible and of acceptable quality.
Whilst the "deal with it" approach that Pooky is suggesting is probably a bit harsh, it's definitely not impossible. I know a handful of lefties that are pretty lethal when using their right hand for mouse control.
I am left handed but play everything as a righty. It's not that hard
Well, your friend != the entire left-handed demographic.

I am left handed, never had an issue using anything, except for a target shooting rifle what was designed for a righty. Gaming, even on pc, I can't say i'v Ever really give it much thought.
One of the most awesome left handed people ever - Jimi Hendrix. played his guitar stung right handed, but flipped upside down, so he played everything backwards / upside down. Imagine how difficult that must be....
My roommate is a lefty and while I would generally boast that I'm better at FPS games, he'll prove time and time again that he's way more accurate than me and that while using a right-handed setup.
It's all about whether you want to adapt or not.
