i always thought it was people of a certain age who required inversion (i include myself here) because the first 3d games were flight sims, so pulling back on stick/down goes up etc.

Yeah it's not an age thing. My wife does the inverted thing whereas I do the correct way and we're basically the same age.

> do the correct way
Careful, with that attitude you might not have a wife for long.
or friends!
everybody knows inverted is correct anyways.
I've never really played a flight sim, but I can't get my head into non-inverted. Maybe if I spent a dozen hours, I could do it, but why would I?

At least for me, I've always associated preferring mouse inversion with growing up handling BB guns. When you're lifting a rifle up, you are pulling back/contracting on the right arm. When aiming, to go up you nudge the right hand down, or nudge up to point down.
