Left Hand/Southpaw mapping

Queboth · Jun 13, 2015

Dear XboxOne-Team,

please add in the posssibility to swap the thumbsticks on the XBoxOne Controlers, like on the Xbox360, which worked at least for some games. I'm playing southpaw for about 25 years now and its absoluty impossible to play pvp games with standart controles
without having the feeling of lacking muscle memory. There were several petitions on facebook and other social networks but nothing happens ... what can u suggest me other then training my right thumb for 25 years?

best

Orthodox or Southpaw?

Which is your fighting style.

I'm a Southpaw. Naturally, I am left handed and use my left side more typical in situations.

southpaw set-up for fps don't work

why do developers give left handed people a southpaw controller option for fpshooters but they don't realise its impossible to move and jump,swap weapons,sprint etc at the same time because thats all done on the right hand side of the controller.the a,b,x,y
button commands should be moved for a southpaw option to the d pad on the left side of the controller which would allow movement and jumping at the same time.

Unfortunately some of us play "southpaw" style and this game does not offer that type of faster gameplay so I had it maybe 30 minutes and traded it back in. Horrible game with no "southpaw" games. IMO games are as good as a blank disc without that option.
So to answer your question its a solid 2 out of 10.

I never understood this attitude. Im left handed, but growing up all controllers were basically set up for right handed playstyle. So you just learned how to do it. I never even thought about how it didnt feel right because it was the only option. It
wasnt regular or southpaw, it was just the way it was.......sometimes having all these options makes us soft.

Yes, Southpaw sticks are the best. The only thing that sucks about southpaw sticks is that when you press down on the d-pad to freeroam your head, it is the left stick to move your head, not the right stick.

I liked using southpaw in Halo. That set the left trigger to melee. It still wasn't the perfect setup but it worked.

Frenchy oh lala

Southpaw is an alternate aim / movement control scheme whereby the aim is on the left thumb and movement is on the right. The problem is that the developers of MW3 have also swaped the function of the click action of the thumb sticks when using southpaw
- despite the fact that COD4, WAW, MW2, BlackOps did not do this! So all the southpaw users who have been playing CAll Of Duty for years are crying because for us the controls are mixed up. Hopefully there will be a patch soon!
