my aim in FPS games has always been better than my 'peers', and right-handed feels more natural, so i don't know what the hell your professor was smoking when he told you that using your 'wrong' hand is bad. | ||

Same as with playing tennis, shooting rifles/pistols, hockey etc - i do all these things with my right hand and pretty much only use my left for writing, eating and throwing. Lots of lefties do these things, its called being cross-dominated | ||

That's not to say you wouldn't be even better with your opposite hand. The fact you are better with your 'wrong' hand doesn't disprove what the professor was saying - but I really think it's whatever hand you use the most at that specific task. I'm all mixed up, I can use the mouse with both hands but only the right hand is up to the task of sc. but for browsing and things like that I alternate hands | ||

I wonder what hand I shoot with... I wipe my ass with my.. wait I don't wipe actually. My left side is more buff slightly than right (no fap jokes ok). I wonder whats more important in SC keyboard or mouse control. In wow I had 50+ keybinds as a hunter so I know keyboard >>>> mouse in that. But in SC2 micro requires accuracy... I dunno. Are there any top players who are left handed? I play toss at about 300 ELO diamond, haven't really had problems with it yet. | ||

I'm not really sure a right hander using right hand for a mouse will really perform better than a left handed using right hand for a mouse. I'd guess the years of practice is going to make a slight natural preference pretty negligible. At the very least you get a better keyboard hand, which is gotta count for something. My mouse control is pretty damn good and I use it right handed, I don't notice my keyboard hand to be particularly brilliant though, mouse tends to take control in long bw games. | ||

Would be great if you could use two cursors. Anyway, I will try to switch hands, and use the mouse in the left hand, for the first time in my life, from now on, and see what happens. Can give a report in a few days. I have notice that I miss a lot of clicks in SC2, that I have not noticed before. I guess using the mouse on regular windows activity is not so demanding. Maybe I can play with the wacom as a mouse, I have a lot better precision. I've switched during the beta phase 1 like in may i guess, my hard part was to separate the 2 hands but i got that as my ambidextrous issue. my apm are back now and it's ok. u just need to switch completely and no hesitate and play one day with 1 setup and the other day with the other... And there's ReMinD on wc3 and progamer and Hoejja is lefty but ye Hoejja... xd | ||

Gaming right-handed style is what 99,9% of us lefties started with. I did the switch about 4 years ago (for fun) but I was mostly a FPS guy (Quake3, RTCW, ET) - you can bind keys in those games to your liking. If I wanted to switch back to right-handed style there would be no problems since I can game with both hands equally good now. But FPS != RTS so it probably wouldn't work as good... Here's to hoping that Blizzard will go with the flow and actually lets you bind the hotkeys manually... it's 2010 ffs... Also to all those saying that they'll never be equally good with the other hand... Back when I switched from right to left I struggled for several days but after two weeks it started to get more comfortable and after about a month I regained my previous accuracy. It's funny that some people try something for 5 minutes and immediately decide that they can't do it... some things may take time you know but not neccessarily as much as you'd think. Still I don't know if it really 'boosted' my performance since I noticed no real difference when I switched back to right hand... | ||

I attempted left standard and left grid. For some reason, it wouldnt let me assign groups with my right control key. I use that function a lot and having it far away from all the other keys was no good for me. | ||
