Left Handed PS2 Controller

[VR46]

Nice to see things like this, I'm left handed but am sure I could never get on with one.

A great idea, nice to see lefties are being catered for.

However, in my experience most left-handed people who play games have just got used to using normal controllers. My nephew is left handed and he's a wizard with a right-handed joypad.

I dont see the point. As to dual shock pad is virtually symetrical so the left and right hand have to make the same motions (apart from diagonals on the d-pad), and neither do I beleieve the DS2 was designed with right handed people in mind. It's a universal device.

I'm right handed so I might be biased....what do other lefties feel about this?

I'm left-handed, and won't be touching it with a bargepole; I remember my right-handed friends complaining that the old arcade layout of stick on the left, buttons on the right was the 'left-handed' way to do things anyway.

A mirrored XBox pad might be handy, though, for those stupid FPS games that won't let you remap the controls to movement on the right stick, looking on the left.

Being left handed I actually PREFER having as much direction control on the left as possible.

That controller would be useful for games where you can't change it from right stick look, left stick move. That gave me so much problems in games on the Xbox that I had to spent ages re-learning control schemes.

What kind of weird control system is that!!

All FPS use movement on the left, look on the right!

I'm left handed, growing up playing consoles with a normal pad means i just have better control over the dpad then most people because i use my strongest hand. I notice that some people find it hard to use the left analogue stick compared to me because of my left handedness

We definitely get a much better degree of control than you right handed freaks

Unless youre left handed Left handers generally use the mouse in their left hand, which is, of course, look on fps. Ergo that would pass down to console control schemes for some (not me, though, I might add)

I learned how to play FPS games from a combination of Quake (where I use my left hand for the mouse) and GoldenEye (look on the one analogue stick, movement on the c-buttons). How anyone could play GoldenEye with the analogue stick on their right thumb, when you need to reach the A and B buttons with your other hand, I don't know.

Face it, right handed folk would have better control over analogue games if they used their right thumb for it. They never had that option and got used to using their less effective left hand. So surely this pad is for righties, not lefts.

And as if anyone is going to be able to switch that easily, it'd take years to readjust your playing style.

I don't see the point, just stick with the joypad and it cost too much money to replace 2 arcade stick, 3 XBOX S Controller pad, 2 PS2 pad and 1 GC pad and Wavebird, hori snes gamecube pad. Plus where there is GBA SP with different layout.
