    Such a thing as a left hand joystick

    I find myself in a strange situation. All my life I have been classified as left hand dominant even though I can do many things right handed. I have a Logitech 3D Pro joystick but it has a hand rest on the right hand side of the handle which makes it very hard to use. Is there such a joystick set up for left handers?

    And yes, after 50 years as an apprentice then tradesman I have heard all the left handed tools jokes.


    Cheers
    Pat

    Thrustmaster Airbus edition have a right/lefthand switch under the "Plate" + you can move the "upper side" switches too

    As my user name implies, I'm a 'lefty' too! For years used a Saitek AV8R. That has now been replaced by the Thrustmaster T16000M (with HOTAS throttle). The stick has additional palmrest for lefties, and works just fine.

    Just remember all those famous and talented people who have used the correct' hand for centuries !

    Indeed, that joystick has a symmetric shape. It's the one I'm using since a few months.

    The Thrustmaster T16000 can be set up either way, I've used this for several years

    VKB Gladiator NXT has both left and right hand options. Best joystick you can get for the price. I sold my Thrustmaster Warthog after I bought mine.
