Tips from left-handed players?

[thesoloist]

Hi,

I am new to Project 1999 and I think this is amazing. I intend to invest a lot of time into this.

I am left-handed... Left hand on the mouse, right hand on the keyboard. I am looking for tips from already established players that are playing with the same configuration as me... what keybindings are you using? To move, use spellbars, etc.

If there are any ppl playing like me that is xD

Was meaning this as a joke, but looked and theyre real.

From a fellow left-hander... learn to play righty.

I don't think I have ever considered the challenges for a lefty in EQ. Probably don't play a bard, I have yet to see a left handed lute. I have no other advice to offer, but wanted to say welcome to the server!

Basically, my left handed friend plays with all the normal right hand key binds for the most part. He uses ESDF as movement keys with his right hand, scoots the keyboard to the right and uses his mouse with his left hand. His hands are a bit closer together than normal with this setup. But he seems comfortable, and no special gear required

I've never met a lefty who used a left handed mouse, I can't speak for other lefties but I've always done things right handed with the exception of eating, drawing, fapping, etc..

I'm a lefty and I play righty. I have my mouse on the right side and have modified my movement keys to be asdw and attack is q. Been playing that way for years.

razer makes a lefty naga, you could just bind all yer stuff to that and use the arrow keys for moving

I write, eat, and use mouse left handed and do literally everything else right handed. It is pretty rough sometimes but I like to think it doesn't limit my performance in P99. I do curse myself though for lining up my mouse on the left side of my comp first time I used it when I was a youngster.

I bought a left handed mouse and hated it, now I have a Roccat Savu which is sort of a neutral balanced mouse, it's not super inverted or curved for righties and it works well for me.

As for keyboard I use the Arrow Keys to move and then 6 buttons Ins/Del/end/ etc above arrows for 1/6 hot key, with keypad and other keys around for other important buttons. It's something like this but this isn't exact, actually Ins. is jump i think and Del is auto attack but can't remember:

There's a lot of other ways to do it but this is just what is comfortable for me. It transitions well for other games too but its always annoying setting up keybinds and figuring out what's important and adjusting it as you learn a new game.
