CzechMate29200 Posted July 1, 2017 Originally a topic idea making fun of the "Leftist Doomers" topic. But now im just curious, how many left-handed Doomers are here? Im one! :) 4 Share this post Link to post
galileo31dos01 Posted July 2, 2017 I'm actually right-handed for almost everything, but when playing Doom I use both, my left hand for action keys and my right hand for the arrows. 0 Share this post Link to post
ReX Posted July 2, 2017 I am right-handed for "conventional" things (writing, brushing teeth, playing guitar, etc.) but left-handed for several other things - playing FPS games (mouse with left hand, keyboard with right), playing drums, and sighting for rifle shooting. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tristan Posted July 2, 2017 Hello! I'm right-handed for stuff like playing guitar and using mouse though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fuzzball Posted July 2, 2017 I'm a leftie but I use my mouse in right hand- when I used to play bass (yes that was a thing...very badly though heh) I would play a right handed bass lefthanded upside-down! 0 Share this post Link to post

I tried the same with guitar-playing - switched sides and held the guitar "upside down". I managed okay when playing lead, but sucked horribly when switching to chords. 0 Share this post Link to post
Mr. Freeze Posted July 2, 2017 If left-handedness is good, does media always put computer mice put on the right side of the keyboard? Checkmate leftycucks 1 Share this post Link to post
Fuzzball Posted July 2, 2017 Somewhat related I play melodies and things moreso with my left hand on keyboard...which...is not a good habit :P 0 Share this post Link to post
KVELLER Posted July 2, 2017 It's funny because I'm right-handed, but I use the mouse with my left hand and I walk around with the arrow keys. There's a long story behind that... 0 Share this post Link to post
GarrettChan Posted July 2, 2017 Wow, we have lefty using right hand for mouse, and we have righty using left hand for mouse... This makes me feel I'm very strange because I'm a righty using right hand for mouse... What's wrong with this world! 2 Share this post Link to post
Maisth Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) Right handed here. I use my Left hand for... Specific Purposes... 1 Share this post Link to post

I used to mouse with my left hand until the 'newer' generation of FPSes came out, than I converted to WASD. I can still play with arrow keys though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nine Inch Heels Posted July 2, 2017 I'm relatively close to being legitimatelly ambidextrous. 0 Share this post Link to post
Mithral_Demon Posted July 2, 2017 Lefty hand here. I'm an odd sort. I cook best left handed, throw better with right, use mouse for right, and write left. 1 Share this post Link to post
CzechMate29200 Posted July 2, 2017 well,I guess the only thing I'm right handed at its gaming, I'm a WASD guy :). Though I can write with both hands very well... 0 Share this post Link to post
Battle_Korbi Posted July 2, 2017 I write and use the mouse with my right, am ambidexterous with everything else that uses one hand or even two, or god forbid, three hands. Dunno how is it called, am I still a righteous Doomer by this definition? 0 Share this post Link to post
Gifty Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) I guitar and eat with my left hand but I Doom with my right hand on the mouse. 0 Share this post Link to post

Aren't the mouse designed for righties, usually? 0 Share this post Link to post

Aren't the mouse designed for righties, usually? If you mean the left-click right-click thing, yeah, mice are usually set up for that. But to be honest, I never understood what lefties have against left-clicking something. Left-right is a 'natural' order in Western society so I never gave it a second thought. It's not like everything has to be mirrored when you're left-handed, at least not for me. The biggest struggle we face as southpaws are scissors imo. Bonus fact, I can mouse with both hands these days but I prefer my right now :D 0 Share this post Link to post

To be honest, I think I can also handle mouse by my left hand, but it's less precise. 0 Share this post Link to post
Merry Widow Posted July 2, 2017 I'm also a lefthander and proud of all of us who are.Right handers are pretty cool as well. 0 Share this post Link to post

I only use regular 3 button ones. 0 Share this post Link to post
MTF Sergeant Posted July 2, 2017 Well, i am a lefty. I use the keyboard via my left hand and the mouse via right hand. (and i have no reason to use arrow keys..) 0 Share this post Link to post
Battle_Korbi Posted July 2, 2017 Now we need a topic called "Leftenant Doomers?" where we ask about Doomers in military to continue the whole left motif and make it a big thing. 0 Share this post Link to post
geo Posted July 2, 2017 I'm left handed with a mouse. Its far more efficient as many of the non-game important keys are on the right. I still use arrow keys for movement. Although I guess when it comes to gaming keys everything is now on the left. 0 Share this post Link to post
Trupiak Posted July 2, 2017 I sometimes write with my left hand when I'm bored, I would love to be both handed to be honest, cuz it'd be fricking awesome 0 Share this post Link to post
