 Things I Hate: Left Handed People
The subject is a bit misleading, but I figured it might get more people to read and/or respond.
Actually, what I'd like to talk about today is PC peripherals. I mean, what the F*CK? Why is everything designed for "gaming" either a mouse that just has side buttons thrown on the right side so that left-handed people can use it, or completely designed for right-handed people?
As I stand, I'm basically fucked when it comes to PC gaming, but that's really the only system that pleases me (I just don't like controllers since I feel less in control). I say this because I am left handed and when I got thrown in to the obviously amazing and superior government indoctrina- ah... education system, from the first day we got to use computers in school I was forced to use the right handed and would be disciplined if I tried to make the set up feel a bit more natural. F*CK that. Here I am... what 14 to 15 years later now used to the right handed set up, but still F*CKING it up like a numbnuts because it's just not natural at all to the way my brain wants to work. Maybe I'm retarded.
That part doesn't piss me off as much as the fact that it's horrible when I try to switch over to using a mouse and keyboard left handed. I have a mouse that has tacked-on-at-the-end support for lefties, but my keyboard is still set up to supply me with a vast array of no options with the entire key setup being more conducive of having a right handed brain. I know Mindless uses the arrow keys (I did it too, but not in a left handed set up), but that leaves me with almost no options for binding a plethora of keys around them.
And now that I've complained, let me ask a question. Is anyone aware of any companies that make or at least try to make keyboards and/or mice for left handed gamers? Every manufacturer I actually like wants to tell me to fist myself with my left hand and that bothers me.
Oh, also, here's a ProTip: If you live in Georgia and have kids that aren't of school age yet or you plan on having kids, move. Move as far away from Georgia as you can as soon as you can. You will not do a damn thing to help that child go anywhere in life if as a child they are told by a teacher that "x is sometimes a vowel." Even if it's not part of the approved curriculum of the state, get out of there. Hearing things like that does not make a child smarter. It makes their brain work so hard to figure out what the F*CK they just heard that their brain will develop so many mental illnesses that they will never be able to find a treatment that helps at all.

Left handed people are sub-human.

lol Deep.
How about going to the manufacturer place and order them to make a left-handed keyboard/mouse at gunpoint?

LOL, how does having a reverse keyboard help you at all? It's not like you're using one hand more then the other while typing, but what would I know I'm just right-handed and this all seems normal to me. I smell a scam. Mice are another thing.

Could you imagine typing on a flipped keyboard?
I'm sure there's a way to change the key functions.
