The "other buttons" are too far away? You do realize that you can assign different keys to do what you want (in GW at least). For example - "T" does not have to be "targeted foe", it could just as easily be "C" (in my case) or Numpad_8 or almost any key.

Anyway, simply making mirror images of devices does not make them left and right handed.

I'm left handed and have been that way my entire life in most aspects. Personally when it comes to mobility on the computer I've never had a problem with typical keyboards. I mean, left hand is on the left, right hand on the right, they both have to learn the movements anyway =P.

A mouse may be different, but in most cases you can swap a mouse to the left side or if you're using a pad just use your left hand. As for GW movement, I prefer to use skills on the number bar with my left hand, so I usually do primary movement (up, down, left, right) on the arrows and strafe/use skills with left hand.

Only thing I can really see a need for "left hand specific" would be a left handed gaming mouse that's otherwise contoured for the right hand.

ijkl for movement from this lefty... gives me the options of targeting and skill selection nearby my right hand. I actually like standard keyboards for this... the number pad allows me to toss a few things over there as well (hero flags/etc).

I've yet to find a lefty mouse that I like though... I really want six buttons convenient to thumb + 2 fingers... left/right click, a TS/Vent click to talk, next/prev targets, and one I can comfortably bind to Shift+Ctrl+Space. My current device has 5 of the six covered, but that sixth is proving difficult.

I find it better to use the mouse on my right hand and the keyboard on my left as said in my other post.It is like driving a car the shifter is on the right and you mostly use your left hand on the wheel.this would be different if I was living where you drove on the left hand side of the road.

I would probably use my left hand on the mouse and right hand on the keyboard which would suite me fine.It would just be nice if left handed keyboards were avaible like your standard right hand keyboards.

I use wasd and zx for movement and my skill keys are 1,2,3,4,q,e,r and t although I do use mouse movement.I do have my party members on my no. pad although I tend to use the party window.
