If you could edit your ticket title and indicate that it is about left-handed control presets that would be great.
Have you also considered using left handed keyboard?

I am left handed and always set keys based around o k l ; instead of w a s d
There are actually more usable keys that end of the keyboard. For years I've used the same keys for all games as far as possible and they have become second nature.
It can take a long to set up keys initially in ArmA ... and it was especially annoying when they were reset between alpha and beta without warning. Fortunately I mostly copied my usual ArmA configuration and recorded it in a spreadsheet.
The problem with a left handed preset is that there is no historic precedent to follow like wasd for right handers.

So I bought Arma 3 a couple days ago.. 90% of the time has been re-mapping controls to left-handed.
But so many RED (error?) controls; and NO INDICATION if the ones I mapped will still work or not.
But just then.... an update ruined all that work; as it re-mapped all the controls back to standard.
What fun.
Now another two days to reconfigure the controls.
How many are there? 100?
120? Who knows....
Otherwise great.
How about left-handers are not treated like second-class citizens?

Hi. Can someone please put the presets you use on a zip or something like that and put it in MEGA or Google Drive, for example, so I/anyone could download them? I'd really appreciate it! There are SO MANY keys to be set and as I'm new to the series (have the Arma 3 Apex), I've no idea of which ones are more important, so I don't need to use them or which ones do what I think they do, so if anyone could put the presets available, I'd really appreciate it! (and maybe not just me). Btw, I used to play with the arrow keys, but a few days ago I saw a person saying that he used IJKL so now that's what I use (after more than a decade I had to see someone saying to realize I've been dumb all this time with so few keys....). But any preset will do it. I can play with any keys (except the WASD and near which give no space for left-handed gamers). Thanks in advance!
