Left hander, need software for key re-mapping.

W - P
A - L
S - ;
D - '
R - I
E - O
Q - [
CTRL - ENTER
TAB - ALT GR

Any software that can map these for left handed gaming? I found sharpkeys but you have to log off and that's tedious when you are taking it in turns with a right hander.

Fellow lefthander here, I found it easier to learn right handed unfort when it comes to PC gaming

Aye, I'm a lefty wasder-er. Just have to shift my keyboard to the right when playing.
Sometimes have to remap the odd button if the game is silly (Crouch set to C :confused:

)

(I realise this is of no help to the OP!

)

I use this at work for my Mac keyboard on my PC. As it's the non numpad edition keyboard, I use the free program (which I think limits you to only 3 key changes or something) to convert f12 to delete and f11 to print screen and it works brilliantly

I'm left handed and have always used the arrow keys.

Never been able to to WASD.

I'm a lefty who uses the mouse with my right hand and I never understood the Crouch is C thing. It's so awkward. Ctrl is so much more convenient!

I thought all us lefties used the arrow keys and little finger on numpad 0,1,2,etc for all the main keys, works really well for me. numpad 0 is run, numpad 1 is crouch etc

I'm a lefty, but use mouse in right hand and wasd/arrow keys depending on the game.

We're a weird bunch - in that we play in so many different ways that isn't natural to most people.

You could maybe try Xpadder? Can't remember if that accepts the keyboard as a controller though

This, for each rebind you just put:

q::e

This means pressing q will send e. you can even turn this sort of thing on and off with a bit more scripting. If you have ever done any type of coding you can learn it inside 10 minutes. I use the "take over the desk and use wasd with my right hand" method. And ctrl IS crouch.
