I think I understand - by backward do you mean the hand is flipped palm up? So the hand in your right arm is palm up and thumb on the left?




They have two normal hands which are (as all normal hands are) mirror opposites.

The point being that a symmetric controller design makes sense for people with symmetrical hands. (And that asymmetric controllers do not (which is correct))


lol, ok - so they're being cheeky and describing having two normal hands in a strange way to uh emphasize the symmetry? Confusing but kinda funny if that is indeed what was being expressed.

When I point my thumbs to the left the palm of my left left hand is facing up, but my right left hand is backward and when I point the thumb to the left the palm faces down. It's very inconvenient, really, not only do I have two left hands, one of them is backwards. It's a wonder I can even type.
