I've just started playing BF4 and was wondering what keys you lefty guys use.

I currently using the number pad but its a bit clumsy.

Has anyone had any luck with using game pads like this thing?

I know a couple of guys that use the G13 and like it because the number pad is awkward for them. The cyber sniper looks like it has everything you would need. Did you find a used one? I can't seem to locate any online vendors that have them  in stock.

I must admit i've always used the number pad for movment ond other things in conjunction with the arrow keys and the ones above you get used to it eventually if you get your keys in the right places but  as you say can be a bit clumsy ive never got on with the extra keypad things myself but each to there own

To think if I was left handed it would have taken 40 years before I stated to masturbate with it. My right hand was favored for years.

 

On a serious note.... I remember one person here who had the strangest key mapping.... the up down... left right were.... asdf. All in a row... very cool and she was good. Just can remember her name.

That makes absolutely zero sense, if your right hand was favored, you wouldn't be left handed....unless you lost your right hand somehow lol.

 

As for the problem at hand, Im no lefty but the only keys I ever use on the keyboard are the directional keys and shift for running. Everything else is mapped to my trusty Naga mouse, which is great because you don't have to interrupt your movement to do something like switch weapons. It also is a great solution for left handed users that have to use the arrow keys, and though it might not look like it, that thing is easily the most comfortable mouse I have ever used.

Hey, this thread is geared to me! 

I play lefty, with the Death Adder Lefty Addition and the WASD keys used by my right hand on the keyboard.  I actually think this feels more natural than it would using those keys with your left hand while gaming.

 

Space bar is easy enough to reach with my thumb to keep as the jump, index finger to shift for running, and I remapped Z to prone and C to crouch (one of them is naturally X, I can't remember which), so I could still move forward and back with my middle finger.

The only other rebinding I did was to move the minimap to the TAB key, for quick use, and changing the scoreboard to Caps Lock.

I play like a normal person with the mouse on the right :P But maybe a small tip, if you double tap your foreward movement key you'll go into sprint as well. This way you could leave out a separate key for sprint if you're a key short for something.
