Left Handers Control Setup
MindsEye
Member, Alpha Two
I am left handed, use mouse on my right side. I find myself using my left hand for the WASD controls and using the mouse on the right side to spin myself around versus “Keyboard Turning” 😫
When I use the defaults, I feel using Q for general weapon ability, I find myself losing movement control of A for the sake of pressing it. When I try to use dodge , the left ctrl key, it feels clunky and once again, sacrifice movement, to press it to dodge. I am not the best but the setup feels like a penalty being left handed and have yet to to find a non kludgy solution for alternative positions. Do I stand their, take my hand off mouse, so I can use the number keys, then shift + number key for other toolbar, etc. Can some left handers share what works for them?

Hope another left-handed player can give better ideas.
I personally use my left hand on mouse, right hand on keyboard.
My setup is
Arrow keys for movement
Numpad 0-9 for action bar 1
RIGHT CTRL + Numpad 009 for action bar 2
NOTE: RIGHT CTRL+Anything will trigger whatever you may have bind as "CTRL"
For example, I have Right Ctrl for Dodge Rolling. Anytime I do CTRL+Numpad, I will roll first and 50/50 chance my ability goes off.
In most other games, I would also use Right Shift + Numpad, this would have been my action bar 3 setup, but currently we can't bind to Right Shift.
Enter = Jump
/ = Open Chat
Del = Cycle Targets
End = Interact
I keep F1-F8 the same. I forgot what I have for Insert, Home, Pg Up and Pg Down.
I also use numpad /, *, -,+
Usually those are my mount, healing potion, mana potion, other important consumable.
Gotta play around with it, if you're new to that style as a Lefty.
I would also love if the DEV allow us to Keybind Right Shift + Any Key
