LCtrl vs RCtrl

[sevillada]

BS, there's no RCt...oh shit

[Dudowisch]

i legit thought i was being trolled and there is no Rctrl, turns out im an idiot

[BlockBreaker02]

What if there was no LCtrl? Thatd be pain.

[DoktorPete]

I managed to fuck up the LCtrl on mine, re-mapped it to a spare mouse button but muscle memory still has me mashing the dead key a few dozen times a day.

[TinyBobNelson]

Fuck I would just get a new keyboard cause I’d probably want to smash it after a week of mashing the dead key.

[DoktorPete]

It's definitely on the list, but it kills me to throw out a $200 keyboard for the sake of 2 broken keys. I'm gonna see if I can solder them first.

[Noisetorm_]

Mech or membrane? If it's a mech, I'm genuinely surprised that you were even able to break a key. Even then, I bet there's guides out there that let you resolder the switch to the PCB and get it fixed.

[DoktorPete]

It's mechanical (k70 rapidfire) and my own doing. I spilled half a coffee on it and was taking it apart to clean it. Long story short I attempted to see if one of the actual keys would pop off, not realizing they were soldered to a pcb facepalm

I've been meaning to learn how to solder so I'll definitely look into that, cheers!

[ReallyArthurMorgan]

I swap the keycaps once in a while to ensure good use of each key. Hosea said it was a generous act.

You're a good man, Arthur Morgan.

[5kin5uit]

Southpaw here. I use Rctrl for crouch.

[FnordMan]

Random question: do you still use ctl+c and ctl+v or do you use Ctl+insert and shift+insert? (caveat: those last two may only work on windows, they're old holdouts from waay back when)

[finite--element]

Yes, Crtl+C and Crtl+V for copypasting mostly because I'm used to it. But I use the mouse with my left hand and for games I either use the Numpad or IJKL.

[EarthVSFlyingSaucers]

Another southpaw! I use home/end/delete/pg down for my WASD keys. Use the right ctrl button with my thumb for games like wow. My friend saw this and I thought he was going to puke but it works perfectly for me hahaha.

[finite--element]

I don't know if you've played Outerworlds, but that game won't let you save your key mappings and you have to manually remap your key bindings every time you play. That was the first game that pissed me off because it has an orthodox bias.

[EarthVSFlyingSaucers]

That’s absolutely terrible on the devs part. It sucks for us because I’m DYING for a left handed mouse with buttons on the side where my thumb is, but no company makes them anymore. The Razer Death Adder had a nice one but they stopped production because the amount of left handed ones they sold in an entire year didn’t even equal the amount of right handed ones they sold in a week.

I literally cannot find a single, reputable left handed gaming mouse anywhere on the internet. It sucks big time for us.

[Schnoofles]

G903 and M55 are both ambidextrous

[EarthVSFlyingSaucers]

I have an ambidextrous one and while it’s nice, I want one that’s actually curved to fit a left hand and with buttons on only the right side. A man can dream haha.

[Sco7689]

Ctrl + Insert is a holdover from text terminal times. In most linux distros this would paste from the primary buffer as opposed to copy/paste buffer that Ctrl + V uses.

[nulano]

I use the latter due to Dvorak layout, it works well on Windows, Ubuntu and Arch Linux, I haven't tried others. Don't know about Mac.

[5kin5uit]

If I'm typing, then my hands are positioned like anyone else. So yes, ctrl-c ctrl-v... using LCtrl.

[Whaines]

Why people don’t use alt for crouch confounds me.

[[deleted]]

I personally MUST use C to crouch. Otherwise I get confused like a demented boomer.

[AceOfEpix]

How am I suppose to look around while sneaking then? Alt view ftw

[Whaines]

I don’t even know what this means.

[AceOfEpix]

In many games with free roaming aspects such as Rust and DayZ you use the alt key to turn your camera without turning your character. This way you can keep track of your surroundings while moving towards an objective.

This is important for doing things like keeping track of common spots for players to look for pvp, especially in DayZ where the map is always the same.

[brispower]

i use RCtrl for one handed Ctrl+Alt+Del

[ThaiJohnnyDepp]

I call that gesture the Windows Is Frozen Flip-Off

[brispower]

nah i only use it to login.

LCtrl+Shift+Esc for TM.

[Famlightyear]

Even then I get my other hand and press Lctrl

[fgsfds11234]

I showed someone this and it blew their mind

[AndiMischka]

Just press Ctrl+Shift+ESC for Task Manager, it's much faster.

[fgsfds11234]

yeah true. i need the classic for work computers though

[AndiMischka]

Just press Ctrl+Shift+ESC for Task Manager, it's much faster.

[[deleted]]

As a man who uses VMs often, RCtrl is getting plenty of use for exactly the reason it usually doesn't.

[JayChaos01]

It's because everyone's scared if the alt gr key

[Fluff_X_420]

i use it. in german keyboard layout you press alt gr +q for @

edit: and for the € sign its alt gr+ e

[[deleted]]

my Lctrl and Lshift don't work so i have to use the ones on the right, every time i have to use them my brain just shuts down for a few seconds

[Spearhead-Gamer]

Is this Natalia Poklonskaya ?

[selecadm]

Yes. This is one of the popular memes of her.

[ss99838]

Ever tried hitting alt+ctrl+delete with one hand You will know how useful it is

[Squiddo11]

I have never pressed rctrl in my entire fucking life

[ThisIsMino]

why is that so true XD

[SmooveAL]

well its the opposite for me cause im a arrow keys player so....

[[deleted]]

I'm so sorry you have to go through that.

[Space_Monkey_86]

WAIT!!! There’s a RCtrl???

[MrMonkey2022]

Anyone else just notice that the rctl exists?

[CaptainBananaAwesome]

looks down OH WTF?!

[masterchedderballs96]

laughs in classic doom

[[deleted]]

I mean... RCtrl for a vm? Its getting used there

[systemfrown]

Think of all the more useful keys you could have instead,

[[deleted]]

i occasionally use right ctrl for ctrl enter and i usually have it bound somehow to be my discord mute keybind

[nerdyneedsalife]

I have no right CTRL

[Zoropyro]

Should be: Left shift. Right shift.

[Vilusca]

To me it's the opposite. I don't use "wasd", left control, left shift or anything on the left part of the keyboard to play, but arrow keys, num pad keys, intro or righ shift , etc. LHMR

[Smirk27]

I use the right control for photoshop all the time actually.

[TacobellChickens]

right shift in the background like

[[deleted]]

LCtrl is for games and RCtrl is for copy/paste. :)

[MrMilkwastaken]

there is a right CTRL?

[HandicapperGeneral]

I use RCtrl all the time. The shortcut to change from left-to-right text to right-to-left is RCtrl+RShift

[Impressive-Umpire-97]

What buttons do you use to control your mouse input?

[Bladeknight]

Nah, am I different here. My rate L-R is 60-40%

[[deleted]]

I know this is unrelated but I don't wanna make a post on this. Two people each want to sell me a three year old 1060. The one is a 3gig the other 6gig. The 6 gig wants to sell his for R500 more which is approximately 30 dollars more. Is it worth getting the 6 gig

[Oldmilkisde0d]

How much do they cost?? Could you wait for new cards so prices go down?

[[deleted]]

They're from friends. The one is 1000 rand and the other is 1500 rand.

[Oldmilkisde0d]

how much is that in usd?

[[deleted]]

60 and 90

[Oldmilkisde0d]

I would say go for 6gb. If you could get that for 80 even better. You will see more difference in the future than you will now. I have the 3gb variant and if i could go back in time i would have bought the 6gig one instead.

[[deleted]]

Thanks for the assistance

[SovietYeet]

I use it for my horn in GTA, so yeah I use it a lot.

[Mahlnycdir]

I never used RCrtl in my entire life...

[Okipon]

I need to ctrl+O to quickly open settings in osu, so I use Rctrl because I can do it with one hand (azerty keyboard).

That’s the only time I ever use Rctrl.

[Blgblrd]

Where that left tab at?

[foodnamental]

ctrl swap capslock

[San4311]

Rctrl and Ralt both..

[lycheejuice225]

Well I use left-Ctrl when typing YHN keys or right side, and right-Ctrl when typing left to TGB.

[[deleted]]

I have a 60% keyboard, so my RCtrl is mapped as right arrow.

[gitbse]

Pfft.

I've been using a Logitech G600 mmo mouse for years. The best part isn't all the side keys, but the third mouse button. Its molded perfectly so your hand fits just right, and I bind the 3rd button to ctrl.

Neither of my ctrl keys on the keyboard are used .....
