Do you use Reverse mouse?

[|SwE|FishStick]

Was just wondering which of you guys is using Reverse mouse in games like CS, HL and Quake.
Just wanted to know cuz im a little bit curious if the majority of left handed is using it... well well... This takes a poll =)

 

[iamironsam]

You mean do we use the mouse with our left hands? Why do left handed people have to be in reverse? Why can't left handed people be normal and right handed people be in reverse? What are you some sort of anti-leftite?

 

[simmo]

urgh, I have reverse mouse, it too much for my brain to handle

 

[ph34r t3h cute]

I only use it on flight sims..

And I dont play flight sims..

Soo...

 

[Axyon]

Nope, and I'm right handed.

 

[Maskirovka]

more than 90% of the population is right-handed...why would they switch? your poll will reflect that.

not only that, but most left handed people get used to using the mouse the right-handed way...so why would they switch? very few will and very few do.

 

[Axyon]

No, I think he means the reversed axes function in games and stuff, so that if you pull down on the mouse you look up in-game...

 

[Maskirovka]

ah...well i used to use that but now i don't...i have no idea when i switched.

i can do either though...if i use someone else's config who uses the reverse axes thing then i don't have any trouble getting used to it quickly.

i've always reversed the axis. it just seems normal, can't get my head around the other way of doing it, just seems so perverse.

I did back in the days of Duke... but I wouldn't even think of doing reversed axis now...

i wouldn't call it perverse...it's more of a point and click motion...would you use a program that reversed the mouse for your regular non-game use if you could?

Dear god no ........ never trust anyone whose eye brows meet in the middle or reverses their mouse!

Hey FishStick, nice avatar. I didn't know homosexual pot smokers had their own symbol.

Up is up dammit...

Except for flying in BF1942

I'm a lefty and I use the mouse normally.

 

[Shuzer]

Normal axis for me! I think when I first played a FPS on a PC, I tried reverse.. felt too unnatural

 

[AH_Viper]

i use reverse.....

anyone that comes near my computer is also forced to use reverse... no all my firends do

its not that hard to learn guys your brain adjusts just like how i can go back to normal mouse, loose about 50rounds and not kill one sod but then get used to it. Then i can go to reverse, takes about 50 rounds then im used to it again....

To be honest though most of my friends got used to it in 15mins or less

I can do it either way in flight sims because that's inverted is the way a real plane works. Push to go down, pull to go up.

... but for other games I like to move my hand the same direction on the mouspad as I want the screen to move. I don't want to get used to anything like that just to play a game... and it's one less setting to change from the defaults.

Non-inverted just makes sense for everything other than flight simulators.

I've always used reverse, i think the first FPS I played had it as a forced option, so i got used to it like that. The other way just confuses me.
