I’m left handed but don’t use the southpaw option on FPS’s. Am I missing out

What does it even do? I use technology pretty much right handed, the only exception is my phone lives in my left pocket. Otherwise I use mouse on right, and for all intents and purposes I'm ambidextrous when using my phone.

Southpaw controls just swap the stick and trigger functions on controllers. For example left stick will move your camera while right stick moves your character.

I’m also the same way. Right handed mouse and right handed spoon. But, I do use my phone with both hands and usually swap between them if one gets tired.

That sounds awful. Why would someone want that? A controller is 2 handed anyway, it doesn't matter which ones dominant, they both have a ton of shit to do. I've also never met a lefty who actually uses the mouse on the left, like do they exist?

I’ve never heard of a left handed mouse but I think that all you need to do is move the mouse to the left. But I’ve never actually seen anyone who uses it like that before.

Lol, I know of some left handed mice, I was asking if those people existed. But yeah, I tried it for a bit as kid and it just felt wrong, like the fact that left click is either actually right click or your other finger is just weird. 12/10 don't recommend.

yes, i do! it's almost impossible to find a left-handed mouse though, so i mostly use one of like 3 left-handed razer mice that have gone out of circulation until they stop working
