    Does anyone on here, who is left handed, use the X52 HOTAS system?
    (Or any other HOTAS system for that matter - They are all right handed)

    If so, have you found it easy to adapt too?

    Us lefties have quite strong right arms as the world is geared for the right, so figured the change would not be too hard to master...

    I've used the X52Pro for over six years with no problems adapting for me being left handed.
