Who here is left handed?(Keyboard)

Who here is left handed and has their keyboard set up for their left hand?I have mine set up like righted handed person does.What is a good or great set up for lefties especially if you play Monk?

I run a G11 keyboard (I think) all the program keys are on the left. (Does that count?) I have all targeting and move keys and pick up items action key loaded on the left. I am a mouser for my right so….. Yeah I know I suck because I am slower, but I am old school and addicted to the mouse. And probably will never change.

PS. I tried using the 10 key for my party targeting but I really need to practice it to be even be able to use it.

I'm left handed, but just use the default setup. I've been using it since the game came out, so if I chanded it would just mess me up.

The main movement (WASD) keys are all used by my left hand anyhow. =)

I'm left handed, but my left hand can do anything my right does and vice versa so I just leave everything as standard or default.

I'm left handed but as far as I know, I use a keyboard exactly as a right-handed person does.

For GW, I use the keyboard almost exclusively. I know the ideal setup should be the WASD keys for movement, but I tried and just couldn't get the hang of it.

I use the cursor arrows to move and run.
I use TAB, C and space to target and attack.
I activate my skills using 1-8 numbers on the numeric keypad on the right side.
I use the 0 on the same keypad to target and pick up nearest item. This way I can pick up dropped loot without even breaking stride.
I use V to target nearest ally. (Useful in town during the present hunt or Dragon Nest game)

I use the mouse to "drop item". Haven't found a keyboard shortcut yet. And I use the mouse to move out of a tight spot or pick up an item that is hard to target.

My girlfriend's left handed. She HATES WASD. She uses the arrow keys.

Left-handed, use the default set up. Also use the mouse with my right-hand for some... unknown reason that I can only assume is the way I was taught.

I mouse with my Left, so I use the arrow keys {and/or mouse} for movement ~ I like this setup, most of my targeting keys circle that "empty space" around the arrow keys [Rctrl, Rshift, Enter, \, Del, End, PgDwn .. plus some on the numberpad]

~ this means less key errors for those intense occasions, tho the distance between keys is greater

i was leftty when very young, then my mom currected me back, and i've been stupid ever since.....

Weapon sets Hit the key to your weapon set and it'll drop the item

I can mouse left handed, but I prefer to use my right, as most games are set up with the default keys on the left side of the keyboard. I'm more likely to mouse left handed at work, or when using a trackball.

The irony here is that the standard QWERTY keyboard was developed as a left-handed layout. Back in the day, typists using the alphabetical layout were constantly jamming the keys of their old "manual" typewriters...the solution to slowing down these ultra-speedy typists was to place keys in groups, the most commonly used keys on the left side (since right-handedness seems to prevail). This increased the efficiency of typing by favoring the less dominant hand and regrouping keys so that common letters were near each other, causing the "hammer" style arms to cross less frequently. There are several keyboard layouts (including DVORAK) which claim to be more efficient or intuitive, but industry is slow to retool for comfort's sake (or even logic's sake...i.e. the USA still using old measurements instead of converting to the metric system like they said we would do when I was a kid...circa 1972-ish)...So, for now, left-handers actually have a slight advantage as typists. I'd just do what my left-handed students do....move the mouse to the left side of your keyboard and call it good...

BTW...while I am I typing teacher, I make no claims as to the accuracy or usefulness of any information provided during the hours of 8am-12pm Pacific time today...I'm on migrain meds and could very well be talking outta my ass.

I just got used to things using my right hand. I also use the numbered keypad for my skills and I programed the . on the keypad to drop items...works great!

Not sure why but I found this very informative and interesting in a “Discover Channel” kind of way

Thanks

I'm right handed, but play left-handed. (The mouse is in my left hand, with "left click" under my forefinger)
I have set up the keypad keys to map to party members.
The arrow keys for most movement.
Delete is run.
Home is "next item".
Semicolon "nearest item".
\ is nearest enemy.
] is next enemy.
I have the right side Alt set up to act like the left Alt key

Most of my keys are set up so that they are near my right hand when it is over the arrow keys. I click skills, but am trying to figure out a way to map
those to keys within reach.

Hope that makes sense.

qft.

lefttys rule the world.

anyhow i use right handed keybord set. its just, u work and get used to it.

I am currently using a laptop and have it set up for right handers I suppose(default setting) and I have no problems with it, although i think I'm borderline ambidextrous.

It is also like driving a car with the shifter on the floor.I have heard that lefties could adapt to driving a right hand drive car.I am some what ambidextrous as well as I use scissor in my right hand I hated left handed ones they were hard to use.

im left handed, i use wasd and arrow keys and 1-5 all the time, and basically every key because thats what im use to, switching it around now would mess me up a lot

Left handed, or right handed... perhaps it doesn't matter if you get one of these...



(ZBoard Fang, USB keyboard thing. Seriously thinking of getting one myself, and yes I am left-handed)

I think I'll just stick to the keyboard + mouse thanks ^^

I'm left handed but because of the totally unfair right-handedness of everything ever created I do most things just as good if not better with my right hand - except for handwriting. I have been using a mouse right handed since I first started using a computer and it feels totally natural to me now.

Us lefties are so descriminated against though - every door handle and pair of scissors mocks us.

As a left handed player i find using wasd movement uncomfortable with my hands close together. Having your arms wider apart increases comfort and even speed in hitting buttons, great for interrupting.

As such i use the following setup for movement.

forward - home key
back - end key
turn left - delete key
turn right - page down key
strafe left - insert key
strafe right - page up key

I then have party/item targetting assigned to the numpad while changing the show others key from alt to shift, allowing me to use just my thumb on either side of the keyboard to show all foes+allies by pressing shift+ctrl simultaniously.

I keep the standard c/space setupsand have the view allies as well as 1-8 for skill useage. I also have skills 1-2 assigned to extra buttons on my mouse and always put skills like interrupts, WoH, RoF etc on them allowing me to directly click a target on screen such as an npc not in party window and WoH them.

this means while using the movement keys on the right i can still comfortably use skills on the left of the keyboard, and if i have to switch to mouse movement for any reason i have fast access to my 2 most important skills still using my left hand.

Well, thats what i have found most comfortable to play as anyway, and with the multiple options such as moving/using skills with mouse its very adaptable.

I'm getting sick of hearing "don't be stupid, there's no such thing as a left-handed X"

i just send them to www.anythingleft-handed.co.uk XD

I used to use a moause in my right hand because there was no room on my old family pc to move it to the left, but when they bought a "dolphin mouse" designed to shape around your hand i found it arkward to use the buttons as it reduced the control i had on my right hand, so from then on i thought why the hell should i change to accomodate other people.

Its great if your worknig in an office and the computer is setup as right handed. Technically your not allowed to move the mouse yourself so you can't start work till a tech support member comes down to change it over for you .
Well at least in the UK in the places i have worked tech support for.

this is a good topic even if I'm right-handed, using some standard but modified setup

WASD for for movement, R for running, T for following target, TAB for target next foe,
numbers 1-8 for skills but the sub/super text next the 1 is also again skill 8

F1-F4 are my weapon sets

and some more uses for alt and spacebar too


just wondering how many would just a keyboard solo and no mouse?
