You disgust me utterly.
At least the lefties and inverties still use a mouse, albeit incorrectly, but what are you going to expect from such inferior races?
You are a festering fungal pustule on the rosey-cheeked virginal face of gaming.

i really cant see the point in inverted, its unatural. can someone give me the list of benefits??? it just seems like you are goin out of your way to be different. and left handed mouse??? why dont u just use your right hand, sure you right with the left but why go out of your way to be a leftie?

you tilt your head forwards to look down and backwards to look up... therefore inverted should feel more natural...

possibly

Haha, Tman hit is exactly on the head. I've generally used left hand inverted but recently been playing with it normal. I'll swap back again in a few months I think. But inverted certainly does feel much more natural after a little while for the reasons Tman expressed.

I'm surprised though as how few lefties there are. There should be roughly 10% but it's much lower.

Yes, but most people think about looking down, and not tilting their head.

I've played with y-axis inverted ever since the days of X-Wing... I played so much of that game that it was drilled into me, now I can't play FPSs any other way!

Same thing happened to me, used it inverted ever since.

it's not unnatural at all, for me playing with the mouse not inverted feels un natural, it's just whatever way you're used to. As for a list of benefits, what works, works.

None of this applies to lefties though, they're just wrong......as in not right.

someone had to say it

I play with the mouse - as you freaks would probably call it - "upside-down". I have the x axis transposed onto the Y axis and vice versa. I've inverted the Y axis and I don't use an x axis at all as that's what the foot pedals are for, naturally. You people are all freaks and perverts by the way and I despise each and every one of you for your unreasonable and unconventional preferences. I use a large Ryvita instead of a "normal" mouse mat for extra grip and the occassional light snack. Make sure to scrape the mould off every three weeks or it sticks to your mouseball.

always play right handed normal

i did try to change to inverted once but after a few hours of trying i got sick of it and went back to what i was use to. Not tried again since because frankly, if something aint broke then dont fix it..
