So I am actually ambidextrous and originally a southpaw gamer. I wasn’t really able to play FPS well until the original Halo came out. I remember being super excited that it had an actual southpaw option. Then when Minecraft came out for Xbox I was disappointed because there was no southpaw option and I was really afraid I’d never get the hang of the controls. But I forced myself to play it and somehow Minecraft rewired my brain to where I can play default controls no problem now. I think playing a creative game with no precision pressure really helped.
I fully have no problem with Beat Saber. I mean, I’m still not actually good, by the high standards of that game…but it’s not something I need a left-handed mode for.
I just want all games to let me fire weapons with my left hand, really. And pick up and manipulate stuff with my left hand. And maybe flip any other controls, between the hands, like whatever the buttons are mapped to, in any specific game.
All that stuff should be virtually free, in terms of development costs. But a surprising amount of games just forget about us lefties.
Play more beat saber and just be ambidextrous. Skill issue.

I use the left hand mode to break my habit of memorizing the song itself. It’s good practice.
