    I don't know anyone that would replace their mouse with a gamepad... imagine replacing your mouse with a gamepad and how that would feel.

    If you still don't believe me on the proper use of a gamepad, here's a link to an article https://www.howtogeek.com/336754/pc-...amepads-a-try/

    I'm confused right now. That article is called "Give Left-Handed Gamepads a Try."

    The author, calling them "left-handed gamepads" states in paragraph 6:

    "Not so with left-handed gamepads. Almost all of the models on the market include a big, comfy rest for your palm, a carefully-selected cluster of the most commonly-used keys for gaming, and some even include a forward-angled thumb cluster similar to a vertical mouse. Having a separate device for your left hand also lets you move it out and away from the center of your desk (where the normal keyboard stays for most non-gaming activities), and stay more or less in the opposite spot to your mouse, which is much more natural for extended play times. (Obviously I’m not including those who use a mouse with their left hand—sorry, fellow southpaws.)"

    "Left-handed gamepad" seems to be, paradoxically then, the name for a right-handed person's gamepad. If this is the case as supported by your own literature, wouldn't SE be right in calling it a left-handed gamepad?

    EDIT: It just dawned on me what you said in your post. I hate left and right. lol

    Calling them left-handed gamepads is a mistake XD
