Live Letter LI: THE GAMEPAD FROM HORI IS FOR RIGHT-HANDED PEOPLE

[Leticro]

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

Ah yeah Square Enix is not wrong, it was the interpretation of most people that was wrong. A lot of right-handed people are just missing out with this wording lol.

You are not replacing the gamepad you are replacing mouse. Razor used to make Left handed Naga mouse but they either stopped or are hard to find.

You don't replace the mouse, you replace the keyboard. I even have an article as support, but I mean you can if you really want. I don't pay your sub. It's not wrong if it's your preference or makes it easier for you.

And yeah I'm a 2014 Lefty Razor Naga user. Literally the only consumer MMO mouse that exists for lefties. I have issues with it every year but I always buy another to replace since no other lefty stuff exists.

You are replacing the mouse, not the keyboard. Watch the video again and see how he holds it.

From the article. It's a pretty clear display of how such devices are typically used.

Left handed people use left hand on the mouse, which is to the left of the keyboard. How do you not know this.

It's clearly not a replacement for the mouse, but rather a more ergonomic assortment of keys to use in place of the way they're placed on a full keyboard.

I watched again and he has it in his left hand like any other gamepad. It even shows his right-handed mouse on the right. Am I missing anything else?

It clearly is not a replacement for the mouse. The article has been provided and I even posted the image diagram from said article for you.

What does that article have to do with the ff14 model? Do you see the thumbstick to the right there?

The ff14 model is for the LEFT hand, due to the thumbstick being on the right. It is for the left hand. Left hand people use left hand on the mouse. Can't make it clearer for you people.
