Left Handed Controls?

Post » Sun Aug 21, 2011 1:08 am

Hello,

I am left handed(i use mouse on left side) and i started playing fallout 3,

Shortly after, i realised, i could not HOTKEY my weapons the way i want.

It force me to use the keys from 1 to 9.

being left handed i use numeric pad to play, so numbers 1 to 9 on keyboard is impossible to reach for me.

so i am curently using pip-boy to switch weapon, which is momentum breaking and game breaking.

there must be a fix,
because its such a bad design,i cannot see how a proffessional team could create something like that without alternative.

thx for helping me :)

I'm not left handed but I don't use the numeric key pad as hot keys. I use the top row number on the keyboard. FYI, I play with my keyboard sitting on my lap and the mouse on the desk. I have a very small desk and it was never ment for computers. Long story short, I can't sit there for a long time with the keyboard sitting on the desk. It makes he have to lean forward and kill my back and neck.

I just remembered that you can can get game pads for the pc. They are small keyboards with just the game keys on them. I think they can be setup for left-hand play. Hope this helps. Something to look into.
