I hear ya. I am a leftie as well, and have learned to use both hands for mousing. I can do most simple mousing with my right, but when it comes to games (FPS) I gotta go leftie. As for keyboard setup, I absolutely agree with you. Nothing annoys me more than a game that assumes that everyone uses WASD and leaves no option to customize. After all these years of game dev, seems like that should be in a list of 'must do' items when designing a game for general usability. There's probably some game design doc floating around the net that list those type of things out. LOL! I hear ya. I am a leftie as well, and have learned to use both hands for mousing.

And stuck with it even when he got more space later (is more convenient no to have to switch stuff and settings around). So years later he plays his games this way (and FPS's very competitive too) even though he does anything else the same as 'normal lefties'.
