Any Southpaw players here?

I noticed that most arcade games also used the left hand for controls. I wonder why that is?

Rather Strange when you think of it.. Considering this is a Right Handed world!

Also, I'm not sure, but with the way I use a mouse, I doubt elbow issues would come into play. It's all in the wrist for me. (elbow rests on desk/etc) I also tend to have mouse sensitivity turned way up though.

I end up having to sit low in my seat at a desk so that my complete arm is laying flat on the desk to use a mouse. Otherwise my arm will start hurting because my ring and pinky finger would be supporting the weight of my arm while moving a mouse..

Soo...

How do you guys like:

the
1. Sega Master System's arcade stick

or the controls in
1. Quake 3 Arena
2. MDK 2
3. Fur Fighters
???

It starts with the wrist, but those bones in your wrist are attached to your elbow. Twist one of them accidentally and get a little tendonitis and whamo, using your right hand extended or resting for prolonged periods flairs up the elbow.

Dammit, having a bad day. Hopefully I got my spelling right finally.

Now I'm reminded of the Leftorium store by Ned Flanders.

I use left and right hand to do stuff. Draw with left, paint with right... stuff like that.
As far as gaming goes I much prefer character movement on left side.
