I always wondered how lefties use these flight sticks.  They make left handed versions?  Or do you flip it upside down and re-string it?  :rofl

I use a Saitek AV8R ambidextrous stick.  Before that I used a Microsoft Sidewinder 3D Pro which was also ambidextrous.  Life is tough as a lefty in the joystick arena.  Choices are limited.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Yeah, I'm lucky.  I write, hold my fork, and lead with my left and that's it.  Yeah the throttle is in the middle on the Sidewinder that's right.  I used to use those and forgot.  I seem to remember the molding on the stick supporting a right hand though.

Saitek Cyborg EVO is a nice stick,  with central trottle at base for both hands,  plus a changeable hand rest from lefty to righty,  with all buttons being equal to support either hand....

I like it.
