Exactly, the "right-handed" way always felt more natural for me (left-handed). Interesting how tradition beats logic though.

Hey, let us south-paws have this one societal convention that feels natural to us!

Although to be honest, for gaming left-handed use of a mouse combined with the keyboard arrow keys for movement makes sense as well. None of these awkwardly aligned WASD-keys for us, just ↑←↓→ (conveniently marked with arrows already), and a bit of space around them so you don't accidentally lob a grenade when you step to the left.

Haha, sure, no complaints on this one. Not to mention plenty of other cases where left-handedness is an actual advantage (tennis, boxing, etc.)
