And secondly, that's how my setup was, with an inverted mouse and numpad 0 as my use key. Then I got into a TFC game and realized I needed way more buttons at my command. I moved to the numpad. 17 buttons + mouse should be more than enough for ANY game that doesn't REQUIRE a joystick.. in my opinion anwyway.
8456 for forward/back and strafing 9 & 3 for grenades - for menu Enter = jump . = crouch + = reload I don't remember if there's more, as I'm rather new to TFC. I used to play without inverting the mouse, but apparently I'd done too much vehicle flying in Tribes or something and kept looking down and blasting my feet. Humorous, but ineffective.
well its a trackball, a ball you move with your thumb to move the mouse, and its optical, meaning theres no moving parts just lasers. i think im jut going to settle for a normal optical mouse...

Oh, and in both of these types of games, I play NORMAL, non-freakish style, without using my *shudder* left hand, except on the damn keys, where they belong!
I use invert mouse on TFC when I crap around with cl_pitchdown. In the console while in TFC, type "cl_pitchdown 180" without the quotations, you will be able to walk on your head. It's still very disorientating and not worth it, unless you want to impress some newbies. The controls go opposite, but I think if you use invert mouse they will be normal, except jumping and walking will be weird because it looks like your head is pulling you towards the ceiling when it's really just the floor.
My left hand has quite a wraith dosen't yours?. Anyways, Kusanangi are you sure Hamtaro is really homophobic? That seems like a deep topic for a cartoon network show to take on. Doesn't Halflife have left handed view models? I know CS does.
Awesome. Its good to see some left handed people in the gaming industry. That new Die Hard PC game is left handed only because that is what Bruce Willis is.
First I'm right-handed, and use wasd, pretty normal huh? Nope. I can use the mouse normal or inverted. I used to use it normal. Then to save time at my dads house (both my bro and dad use inverted) I started using that. About 2 months ago I changed someone elses setup to mine but forgot to invert mouse, and instantly got used to normal. Now I can use both after 5 mins of readjusting

I played Q2 always with a left-handed viewmodel... really liked it, too. HL doesn't have the option, tho, AFAIK. ):
