left/right handed alignment?

What's the advantage of using left-handed alignment with right, unless it's just more comfortable? I started with right, as everyone does, so it's more comfortable, but does left-handed help in other ways?

I take it since you joined this site..this month, that you don't realize that anything that feels comfortable or doesn't is in your head. never look at a pro and think " hes using left, i will and i will become pro " You use whatever you feel maybe..looks and feels better.

There are no advantages or disadvantages to left and right. they are both the same.

#2 got this

personally i use left, alot of people use binds so that when they strafe right, the gun switches to the right, and vice versa, but in reality NOTHING changes.

all personal preference.
Finish your damn homework.

Ah, okay thanks. I've heard about the going around a corner or strafing thing, but I've tried it and it makes absolutely no difference. I was just wondering if cs handled them different.. though it wouldn't make sense for it to, so I'll stay with what I'm on.

Used to use right, as I'm right handed. But now I use left. It seems more comfortable for some reason.

I use left because it opens up the right side of the screen. I know my right eye is more dominant, so i can quickly pick up on things better.

no difference whatsoever between the two, it's just a sprite on your screen..

I personally use left hand :P
non est ad astra mollis e terris via

the crosshair stays in the middle of the screen so i dunno what it would change. i never played lefthanded so it looks weird to me. think it's about to what you got used to. #2 thats crazy ^^
trying is the first step towards failure.

I use right and yes my left eye dominates so i have the left side of my screen open, it just feels more comfortable and seems like I have more capabilities.

Go here to find which 1 of ur eyes is dominant!

i like left cuz the model doesnt get in the way of my money/net_graph 3. Theres too much goin on on the right if u have net_graph 3 up

and that probably doesnt have to do with anything, but whatever, i like left handed models

#1 just go with what your comfortable with. Like you i began playing right handed (only started playing the game through source) and was thinking the same thing, so .... i switched to left just to see if anything changed, and i got worse. Just felt uncomfortable and uneasy at all times and this was just another obstacle so after playing with it for about a week i switched back. Right handed FTW!

#20 is right, dominance helps, personally my left eye is more dominant (is this correct sp?) than my right eye. Therefor i use left handed, i started off with right handed aswell, and it was odd when i changed to left handed, about a big month ago, since then...well i cant say it in any other way, my aiming has improved

wasnt there a thread / post about saying if youre right handed in real life it should be better to use left handed models cause the primative eye you have is the right and vice versa?

but then again its all preference
