    Default Lefty's

    I decided to make a thread asking about your opinions on left handed people..

    Kurt Kobain was a lefty, he must of been very talented to be able to play a guitar as a lefty.. Having to play all the notes upside down. I cant play things upside down and me been a lefty find playing a guitar extremely hard.. so i know how hard it must of been for him to learn..

    Left handed people are also limited to what kind of games they can play.. I cant use wasd in games becuase my hand ends up hitting other keys so i have to re-configure my keys to the arrow buttons which means i have to start stretching my fingers around the board, say to roll or jump.

    Almost all things in the world are designed for right handed people, say.. instruments, mouses are another problem been designed for right handed people i often end up hitting the back button on the mouse..

    So.. opinions and problems? Discuss

    I'm left handed, and I don't have any of those problems.

    Especially with the WASD thing, why would being left handed be an issue?

    Im left handed, also.


    WASD, I have no problem with.


    Being right-handed is a dominant trait. Thats why everything is pretty much designed for them.

    Like i said.. most things are designed for right handed people.. a lot of them arent left handed friendly and i might just have big hands but my palm always seems to hit a button i dont want to when im using wasd..

    do ya mean like those keys under wasd, like zxc and other junk?

    I sometimes have that problem.

    Another thing to hate about being left handed, playing baseball with your school (and they have no left handed gloves).

    I can catch with my left hand but with the glove on, I have to put the ball into my other hand, take the glove off, put the ball into my left hand again and throw it.

    (I have the most pitiful right handed throw in the world)

    Buuut..I'm just complaining about a lack of left handed gloves at my school

    I know some people who can use both hands for anything, its weird o_o.

    My friend is like that, he isn't specifically a 'hand-type'. He's equally skilled with both hands. Bastard.

    I think with the WASD thing is that you use the mouse to shoot, and I'd prefer my shooting hand to be the one I'm more dominite with.

    omg is pressing 4 buttons too hard??

    ok i'll tell you where to put your fingers for the wasd

    put ur ring finger on A
    put ur index finger on D
    put ur middle finger on W or S leave ur middle finger on the one that u use the most for that game and press the other one when you need to so you only have to move ur finger up and down

    My dad is left handed, whenever we have a big dinner with family and friends. His chopsticks would always hit the person sitting left of him if that person is a righty.
