If I ignore the a joystick, can I use the keys comfortably with my right hand?

Keeping in mind that I am so used to using it left handed the quick attempti made produced awkward results, however if someone has never used it before I suppose they could get used to using it that way. The keys themselves are not pitched more in one direction or another as to make themselves unusable if pressed with the other hand. Something worth pointing out is that your thumb is kinda just left hanging there with nothing to support it. So while not ideal, it is still doable.

Do you mean that (after programming it) you plug this into a usb port on your computer and the computer automatically thinks it's a keyboard?Yes, you can map it anyway you like and it the same as hitting that key on the keyboard. You can even map combinations such as atl+F or ctrl+V into one keystroke. Very handy.

Yes but why ,,,there are cheaper units out there for the right hand only keyboard set up

Yes it can because the handle is twisted for either side. It's even on both sides and it works for me on both hands. Take a look here, https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/60979/help-saitek-cyborg-v1-flight-stick-or-thrustmaster-t-flight-hotas-x-joystick

No. You can R and L click. It doesnt have buttons, so it appears that you can't Click left or right but you most definately can.Its a pretty cool mouse!

At first I did have that issue - it takes a bit of getting used to. I find that if I press the red button with my left index finger, I manage to hit it at the correct angle. Right hand doesn't work so well. I'm right handed btw

Yes, they are on the F keys. You'll have to use the FN + the appropriate F key to use them.

Hi Stewart, sorry to be so long getting back to you....don't have computer at home at present so just getting your message.Being right-handed I can't give a really fair answer, BUT off-hand, no pun intended, I'd think you could manage it OK It may depend on how much stiff you do with your left hand, also. Even though I'm right-handed, I was changed as a kid having a good Catholic grandmother, so some things I can still do with my left hand. I'm going to check it out when I go home and get back to you with a more definitive answer on Wed., for certain.

Yes, you can bind the thumb d-pad (I assume that is what you mean by joystick) to "mouse functions" such as scroll up/down with some caveats: The d-pad is off-axis, so you won't actually have a hand movement that correlates to up/down. This isn't such a big deal. The bigger one to me would be that it doesn't seem to support press and hold. So if you want to scroll down, you're clicking each time. This is exactly how the mousewheel functions, it's just much more aligned to the purpose (easy to scroll fast).Binding to arrow keys, as has already been said, is also an option. In this case, it does support press and hold, but the browser does not treat arrow keys the same as mousewheel... so it's a trade-off.

It works for right or left handers. Theres a setting in the software to change it to left.

I believe so yes, I played around with the controls once and I think there was a lefty option.

Yes in the logitech software you can change tje action of the buttons. You van use the two buttons in the left side too. I use one to melee attack and the other for throwing grenades

oh thanks guys for the posts, I have been able to play for a while using the G13 and a track ball mouse. Have gotten good enough that no one knows I play one handed. But thank u very much for the help, I had forgotten about this post or would have put something up

Even better than holding the SHIFT key, you can scroll horizontally ONE-HANDED: Assign one of the additional buttons to activate the SHIFT key using the included KENSINGTON TRACKBALL WORKS software. I recommend using the button opposite your thumb so you can use your thumb to scroll horizontally. So, for those RIGHT-handed assign SHIFT to the TOP RIGHT button, for LEFT-handed assign SHIFT to the TOP LEFT button. This works on Windows and Mac OS X.More Info: http://www.kensington.com/us/us/6498/trackballworks%e2%84%a2-customization-software

Yes it is. The only possible minor inconvenience for left handers is the back and forward buttons is made for right hand uses with their thumb. All of the other keys is friendly to use.

It is possible to play on the keyboard, but the control scheme isn't all that great so I would advice the use of a controller.

it is possible to use a keyboard only, but you won't enjoy it unless you have a joystick.

Yes, it is for your left hand provided that you are right handed your mouse would be in your right. I rarely use the keyboard while gaming with a Nostromo / mouse combination.

I believe you will have to remap your emulator's input options when you switch between controllers, though the D pad's input options might translate to the joystick's input options. As far as I can tell, it does not activate keys on the keyboard.
