Er, typo correction. I meant it's as if Right handed people designed the original controllers to intentionally give an advantage to lefties. Left handed controllers don't even exist yet.(I hope they don't. --;)

The left handed controller is a horrible idea. If someone has a hard time with videogames because they're left handed, they just shouldn't really be playing games at all, because they're no different from a rightey who sucks at videogames in general.

being left handed, I see myself having a huge advantage in videogames. I never had that hard of a time at all dealing with regular input buttons(Square, Circle, A, B, etc.) You usually memerize those by position over time. They're on the right side of the controller. Now on the left side, we have the D pads or movement analogs. I've always been very quick and exterous with them. When playing FPSes with friends I'm always tough to hit because movement is so fluid and natural to me. It's because of the main movement control being on the left side.

Having played videogames all my life though, button mashing on the other side of the controller is no problem. Plus, you're only using 2 fingers a majority of the time, one of them being your thumb which doesn't do much but move up and down; how dexterous do you really need to be to manage that?

I could never imagine how hellish it would be to play with a "left handed" controller. I can use a mouse left handed pretty well, but when it comes to PC FPSes doing movement with my right hand is just totally ridiculous. I've tried it before and I lack the percision I have with my left hand. It's fact that in most PC FPSes you're doing more with your left hand. The mouse is just aim 'n' click, which doesn't take as much as throwing your fingers everywhere, and quick double-taps for you UT players.

That said, left handed gaming control mediums are a joke. If you ask me, it's like righteys designed them to intentionally disadvantage themselves.
