A few tips for Left Handed PC gamers

[@Karmacide]

I was born left handed but later in my childhood was forced to be a righty, currently now trying to practice being a left again! G903 does seem tempting but atm too expensive for me so i settled on my old handy logi pebble mouse for now until i can afford it as my blackweb mouse isnt cutting it for me. Biggest problem i struggle with is my aim and movement coordination, but otherwise this video was great! switched from a IJKL layout to your OKL; layout and had some improvement, thank you!

I’m a lefty but I use my right hand to hold my mouse since with my left I go insane on key adjustment, I’m actually good at both hands but, better with my left since i recently tried using my right for fun.

[@andreew9021]

thanks bro, now I can play much more comfortably

[@JackDarbs]

Glad I could help bro 👍

You have to use your pinky for spacebar lol

[@JackDarbs]

I do, I can safely say my right hand pinky is now the most shredded part of my body lol

i just use the big part of your palm

[@yrm1594]

Ya'll crazy just press down with the palm

[@williamchin5904]

Thanks for the talk and vibes man. I recently bought the razer naga left edition off eBay since the retail price is so high. It has 12 thumb buttons for the left hand which is great for the gAme I play Final fantasy XIV the mmorpg with a free trial including the next two expansions at the moment. Just wanted to comment.

[@wolfsky6665]

This vid inspired me to go lefty cuz its my own dominant hand been playing right handed for years but felt like switching it was tough at first but after while i stuck it

[@xXPazifistaXx]

Yo, im using the g903 as well, switchted from the kone aimo... best decision i ever made. Another advice i can give is: if you are too used to using wasd, get a tkl, 65% or even 60% keyboard, so you can move it further away from your mouse to increase the distance between your hands. That greatly improves comfort and you get a ton of extra space for aiming or movement, depending on what kind of games you play

[@ilantheman]

Been playing right handed my whole life but im left handed never really noticed tell i seen someone use a left handed mouse and now ive decided to try and go left to see if anything crazy happens my aim with my right hand is already really good its the one thing my friends say when i play games is my aim is crazy so we will see if my left hand aim is crazy as well

[@splatink]

I use my mouse with my left hand, and play with wasd. I hit space with the bottom of my palm. Also it's nice to see people use AMD cards, we are a small community after all.

[@Mikey-sc1ly]

i do the same its kinda weird but you get used to it, do you change left click and right click?

[@splatink]

@@Mikey-sc1ly no

[@r4gn4r0k56]

I wish we had our own 502 but the 903 and naga really are the only options Also personally I use ijkl keybinds

10/10 thanks for the help making this transition

[@JackDarbs]

Thank you! And your welcome! I'm glad to have helped :)

[@vuly-]

Thank you, not only did i learn some keyboard layouts and some other tips. Now i know what mouse to truly go for

[@JackDarbs]

You're welcome! I'm glad to have helped. I spent 10+ years playing my pc with my mouse configured for a right hander and using the normal WASD controls on a keyboard which favour a right handed user. So I'm glad I've helped you out and I hope you find it more comfortable to game or work using these tips :)

[@hos899]

I'm left handed but I have always played with my right hand, do you guys think it would be better if I played with my left?

[@henapbc9]

definitely

[@BenIsANerd]

Very good very nice

[@Koko-nm4ij]

I am left handed and ive had trouble clicking with my right hand

[@rainsnow9174]

Might just go back into pc gaming

[@arnez6179]

Do u know of a like chrome extension or something thatll let u like mirror my keyboard? Roblox doesnt allow u to change ur keybinds

[@JackDarbs]

I don't personally know of one but theres got to be something out there. I could be wrong but I'm sure I remember a program that lets you remap keys to other key functions. I never used it and I don't remember the name but I came across a video where someone used it when I was trying to set up a twitch stream a while ago. Sorry I haven't been much help, I'll let you know if I find anything :)

[@henapbc9]

hey there are you still alive? thx for giving me the idea of switching from ikjl to olk;

[@Crxc1fied]

I am left handed and I play roblox so I can't change the way I move in roblox but I'm learning to play with my right hand and I've learned how to play call of duty and some other shooting games with my left hand on my mouse

[@0fficialAlexAlex86]

omg im lefthanded and i cant play games good can u help me plz

[@JR-zc9vq]

So do you shoot with the right button of the mouse? (With index finger) and ADS with the left button? (Middle finger), just like a mirrors right handed player?

[@JackDarbs]

Yeah that's right, it's basically just mirroring a right handed mouse.

[@JR-zc9vq]

@@JackDarbs Bro I was just trying that out before I watched your video!!! Which led me to search for your video to see if anyone does that (shooting with index finger ass a leftie) I think I know the reason why, the same reason why Kobe Bryant releases the ball last on his index finger but I wanna hear from your perspective! I've been gaming and practicing shooting with my middle finger and I've been missing out! So much more precise with the index finger!

[@JR-zc9vq]

And did you make this switch recently? Did it impact your day to day life of using the computer since you had to switch them? I'm afraid I will have to relearn alot of things, MOBA Games like Dota 2 for example. Also in this current age what mouse are you using? Thanks for replying!

[@JackDarbs]

@@JR-zc9vq @JR I'll be honest bro ive never thought about it that in depth before 😂 I'll have to do some research on the Kobe Bryant part as I'm not too familiar with him aside from the well known things. You could be on to something though mate! It is so much easier after making the switch I couldn't go back. I made the switch quite a while ago well over a year now, maybe 2 I don't really remember. it didn't take too long to get used to it, I did accidentally click the wrong button for a while but it just felt more natural than using my middle finger after a while. Even in my normal use of a pc it just became natural after using it that way for a while, a few mis-clicks still but I forgot I even used it the other way after a while. I haven't played a moba in years so I can't say for certain but you will probably have to learn again to some extent but the mouse keys are quite similar in layout only reversed so they would be familiar so I would think it would be easier to learn again. I'm still using the same mouse I was using in this video the Logiteh G903 Lightspeed. It's hands down my favourite mouse it fits my hand perfectly. Your welcome! Thank you for commenting! Have a good day! :)

[@JR-zc9vq]

@@JackDarbs haha yeah he has this thing called the index finger release, not sure if it’s actually a thing but it does makes sense since in a relaxed position when you point the index finger is the straightest. And you do usually point with your index finger so maybe the hand eye coordination of finding targets might be easier. Been struggling to get used to it. Not sure if it works but hopefully this helps to increase my ceiling! Only time and practice can tell. :)

[@aayushgoyal9143]

hey bro i m a left handed but i play with my right hand on my mouse and sometimes i feel pretty weak aiming (i think i cant move my hand in every direction i want) so what do you recommend? should i switch?

[@JackDarbs]

Hey man, yeah I personally would recommend to anyone to use your dominant hand to control a mouse. If your used to playing right handed though it will take a bit of getting used to but it will start to feel more natural once you've gotten used to using your left hand. Let me know how you get on bro 👍

did you jumped with pinky or palm

[@loganlarcom9724]

I know this is a late comment , but would you prefer the g903 or the viper ultimate for lefties ?

[@JackDarbs]

It's not too late don't worry! I've never used a viper ultimate so I cannot speak for that mouse, but I've used my g903 lightspeed for about a year now and it is the most comfortable mouse I have ever held, so I personally would recommend the g903 but if your still unsure It wouldn't hurt to ask reddit to see what other people reccommend. If you don't have a reddit account I would be more than happy to make a post on your behalf :) thanks for the comment!

[@loganlarcom9724]

@@JackDarbs I’ve watched reviews on the g903 and heard it had double clicking issues , which the viper doesn’t exactly have because of the newer switches . I’ll have to check Reddit for sure

@@loganlarcom9724 Oh right good on you for finding that out! I had no idea the g903 has that issue! I'll be sure to do some testing with my own maybe for a short follow up video soon. Whichever one you go for be sure to let me know your experience!

Im a left handed but i play with my right hand if I switched to my left hand would it better for my aim?

[@Sam-zt8dg]

Doesn't hurt to try it out. I started, and it feels extremely alien, but in my head it makes sense to get used to it as I'm left handed and the precision I'd need seems like something my left hand would be good at
