Left handed Gamers

[Shlouski]

Until recently ive been using a standard mouse (Ambidextrous). When searching for a left handed ergonomic mouse i found there were basically none out there, but fortunately i found the left handed razer deathadder. For obious reasons there are so many more right handed ergonomic mice, which really makes me want to learn to use my right hand, i already have a head start at times having to make do in a right handed world. For me its going to be more of a problem learning to use the keyboard in my left hand. This is a question to the right handers, do you use your index finger for D, middle for W and S and the one next to middle finger for A?

Yeah that is where place my fingers.

That what i tried, but there are advantages and disadvantages. The main problems i have when im using my right hand for the keyboard is that its hard to see the letters to the right of my hand if i need to look quickly, but on the other hand the ones i use more like f,r and g come naturally without looking and i can hit f and g with my little finger without moving my fingers off wasd. The other problem is the space bar, which i need to hit with my little finger and if it is a game like batman where im hitting it all the time it can start to ache, but i think the big spacebar is easier to hit than LCtrl (often crouch). The last problem is LShift (often to run), which i cant get it with my thumb, so if have to hold it with my index finger i cant strafe and run, but the programable G keys (if you have them, which i do) at the bottom are prefect for hitting with your thumb. This is my problem in my opinion the keyboard is better with the right hand. What i need is two right hands lol.

My fingers are in the same spot. I use my ring finger also for Q, My middle for 1-4, pointer for R, E, F, C, and my pinky for Lshift and Lctrl.
