How do lefties wasd?

I can WASD with both my left and right hand perfectly. Often to the point where sometimes I do WASD with my right hand and use my mouse with my left... By crossing my arms.

I'm right handed, but naturally uses my left hand for a lot of minor things. It's far from ambiexteriety, but I'm not sure what to call it. Is that how dominance for for you guys as well?


The belief is that your handedness is tied into your brain so people who are left hand dominant are right brain dominant.

This theory has been pretty firmly debunked by now.

I'm left handed, but a lot of things I can do with my right hand too.

I can't write legibly with either, though.

They tried to convert me, and my writing was so bad they thought I had some kind of learning disability until my parents told me to try writing with my left hand.

EDIT:  I WASD with my left and mouse with my right.

You right-handed people and your taking up most of the poll. ::)

How do lefties wasd?
Left-hand mouse, right-hand wasd. If you can't do that its fairly simple to rearrange where your mouse is so it sits on the left side of the keyboard.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

It's called "mixed-handedness" and is usually much more common then true ambidextrousity. Note that usually when you are naturally a leftie and run into this it isn't that you are mixed-handed, but rather that you have learned some ambidextrousity by being forced into a world that makes most things for righties. If you are a right hander naturally and you use your left hand for several tasks then it's probably this though.

Thanks for voting, guys!

There is. You're firmly in the "not left-handed" crowd.

Thank goodness, since it always sounded silly to me.
