As someone born on the south side of hand dominance, gaming on a PC was always a bit frustrating, since keyboards and mice were rarely made with lefties in mind. Luckily, I have developed a few habits over the years that make it much more approachable.

Using a mouse with your non-dominant hand can feel unnatural and takes a long time to get used to, which is less than ideal for fast-paced gaming sessions.

Luckily, you don't have to sacrifice the precision and comfort of a mouse if you're a lefty, as long as you're smart about the one you choose for your setup. Left-handed gaming mice can offer similar comfort to their right-handed counterparts but are oriented in the opposite direction.

You only need to spend around $50 and for that you'll get buttons on both sides for use with either hand. These are perfect for remapping extra abilities like sprinting or throwing grenades.

MMO mice also come in ambidextrous versions, though they are more specific to each hand, with extra keys for in-game abilities oriented on just one side of the mouse. These can often be a little pricier, like the Razer Naga Left-Handed Edition which retails for just under $100, but the extra functionality may be worth it if you play MMORPGs or other complex role-playing titles.

Practically every PC game ever made defaults to the WSAD keys for movement, but this can be quite annoying if you're left-handed since your fingers are oriented the wrong way. Luckily, most titles also let you remap the controls to use whatever keys you want for in-game mechanics.

To change the keybinds in most games, simply navigate to the "Settings" or "Options" menu and find the "Controls" menu where you should be able to customize which key does what one by one. Some games will have
