I'm a lefty and am wondering what kind of controller setup you have?

How many people play with southpaw? I tried it but after years of playing console with the default, southpaw just felt wack.

And what about sensitivity? I'm on 2 now because obviously our right hands are weaker than our left so aiming is harder than moving IMO. With 2 though it is easy to control and stuff, but looking around feels like I'm in quicksand. I tried 4-5 but as soon as someone jumps while im BRing them my reticle just goes crazy when I try to re align myself.

So, any tips? Feedback?


BTW I'm still pro on 2 sens I own noobs like 24/7

I play southpaw, it's easier for me.....

I wouldn't change a thing if you "own noobs 24/7" the way you are doing it now.

I'm left handed and I have never felt at a disadvantage with aiming. I play bumper jumper with a 4-6 sens depending on how much I have been playing Call of Duty.

I do however hold the right side of my controller different then the left. I place my middle finger on the trigger and my index finger on the right bumper.

Hope this helps.

Lefty but I play default..

Everything with me is naturally lefty, except the first time I picked up a controller it was default, so it just felt right to play default instead of southpaw.. Same thing happened with a guitar.. I don't play, but I picked it up once and played it righty because I thought that's just how you hold a guitar. Now if I ever pick it up again and try to play I always just play righty because it feels natural.

I'm a lefty, who also plays default.
However, I do know that I have much greater dextarity in my right hand. Could that be from playing video games, who knows.
- My fine motor skills in my right hands are vastly superior to my left.

I'm left handed but do most stuff right handed (golf, guitar, etc), so I play default.

I'm a lefty- bumper jumper with 3 sens. I've played videogames using my right hand to look around for so long now that it doen't make sense to switch to southpaw imo. I think I acctually might have greater dexterity in my right hand because of all the videogames i'v played, although I know my left hand is stronger.

I play on default and 4 sensitivity, too. If I were you I would just play what ever feels best.

Lefty

Southpaw, 3 sense, Claw

Though, I'm southpaw because I claw, not because I'm a lefty. It's hard for my right ring finger to pull the trigger smoothly for shooting, but it suffices for tossing nades.

Lefty however I have many talents where I am right hand dominant. One of which..........Competitive Masturbation.

im left handed but ive been playing default since the day i started gaming so it feels natural.. saying leftys cant aim as good as rightys is just an excuse.

yeah i'm a lefty but i play with default settings too. never knew there was south paw when started playing. default just seems natural. change between 4 and 5 sens depending on how much been playing.

I am a lefty. Play Default Inverted 4/5

Why would it make a difference though?

the oc is worried that maybe he has finer motor skills in his left and wanted to know if anyone else agreed. personally after playing so much default i don't feel even the slightest disadvantage aiming with my right. although i did realize a couple months ago that i was more or less ambedextrous while writing. maybe video games had something to do with it, :-? its cool though :p
