Hutchca Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 I've been looking at Left Hand controllers for the PC. Does anyone have one of these? They seem to make sense. I sometimes loose my place with my left hand on the keyboard and end up moving the wrong way. With a left hand controller I wouldn't have to move my hand to hit a function key or something. There's a review of the Nostromo N50 Speed Pad at http://www.planethardware.com/features/misc/nostromo/ and there's the Microsoft Sidewinder Strategic Commander http://gamespot.com/gshw/filters/products/0,12844,437760,00.html Anyone have one of these or a different one? How well does it work for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTT94 Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Go with the Strategic commander. I use it, and its PERFECT. It takes about an hour to get used to, but thats the only major drawback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutchca Posted May 10, 2002 Author Share Posted May 10, 2002 I was leaning towards the Strategic Commander since it has directional control and the nostromo doesn't. The Strategic commander is being marketed only for RTS games though so I didn't know how well it'd work for a FPS. Thanks p.s. These are the only two left hand controllers I've seen. Are there others out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiee Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 I'm a leftie too, but I find mouse and keyboard suits me just fine. I have an ambidextrous Logitech optical mouse with 2 buttons and a mousewheel, which controls attacks, direction and weapons selection. I move using the arrow keys, with shift and control for jumping and duckíng. If a game has a reload key, or another very common function, it is bound to keypad_ins, while backspace, enter and the ins/del/home/end/pgup/pgdown keys directly above the arrow keys take care of most common functions. This works well for pretty much all fps games for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tchouky Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 I don't think there are any other left hand controllers... Can any of you Strategic commander user to send me their jkII profiles ?? martin.tck@wanadoo.fr thx Btw i know many left handed that use the right hand for the mouse and the left for the keyboard.
