two items I might find at someone else's house that I'd like to use without screwing around.

Everything else I do left handed.


As a computer technician I actually see a lot of variety when it comes to input configuration. I've seen lefties put the mouse on the left with the original button config, switched button config, and switched button config on the right side and work with crossed arms. /shrug]]>Mar 16th 2008 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/Mar 16th 2008 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/
I think the reason I do it is that's how the first PC I used was set-up, didn't feel the need to move the move and be awkward.]]>Mar 16th 2008 8:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/
If you need a custom keyboard setup for gaming, though, I recommend the Zboard Fang; you can place it on either side of your keyboard of choice.

Try it.

Instead of putting your fingers on WASD, put them on the arrow keys.

So using that plus Fire/Iron Sights/Reload/Grenade/Melee on my mouse (5-button DeathAdder) gives me pretty much everything I need for CoD4.]]>Mar 16th 2008 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/Mar 16th 2008 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/
Especially if you need the top line of number keys for spells and stuff.

But all I play is FPS and RTS (and I'm not a shortcut expert when I RTS) so this usually works well for me. ]]>Mar 16th 2008 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/Mar 16th 2008 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/Mar 16th 2008 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/Mar 16th 2008 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/Mar 16th 2008 6:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/Mar 16th 2008 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/Mar 16th 2008 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/Mar 16th 2008 5:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/Mar 16th 2008 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/16/btcs-9051h-cheetah-pro-keyboard-and-mouse/
