Comprehensive solution for keyboard mirroring for left-handed users and training ambidextrous skills.
- Complete Russian/English mirror layout
- Optimized for gaming (WASD-like controls)
- Modifier key mirroring
-Natural key position for left-handed users
-Unconventional brain load, may potentially stimulate neuroplasticity and improve hand coordination (BUT THIS IS NOT CERTAIN)
(Best used while holding mouse in left hand and swapping mouse buttons)
WARNING: Not all games support key remapping via Autohotkey.
It may not work on all keyboards due to the larger/smaller number of keys.
(If you suddenly encounter this problem, change the keys within the game. Follow this logic: if the left key is 1, the right key will be =; if the left keys are WASD, the right keys will be [;’ \ if the left key is F, the right key will be L. (Setting this up in the games will take at most 3-4 minutes

This is not a plug-and-play solution. Mastering the mirror layout requires practice:
- First 30 mins will feel awkward (your brain is rewiring).
- By day 3-5, muscle memory kicks in.
- Automation takes 2-3 weeks (20+ mins/day).
My personal experience (Honest and unvarnished):
Week 1: I’ve been using a mirrored keyboard for about a month, and the first few days were very uncomfortable, I kept missing the keys.
Week 2: I could already hit the keys without looking at them, although my typing speed wasn’t very fast yet, but the progress was getting better.
Week 3: Typing speed increased significantly, but my brain started to forget the English layout, and my mirrored layout started to mix with the regular English one. But when I started typing for even 5 minutes a day on the regular English layout, 3-4 times a day, I haven’t forgotten it since, and I haven’t had any confusion.
Week 4 (Now): I honestly don’t care which layout I’m typing with anymore. Speed is still lower than the regular layout, but that will pass with time. In regular games like Terraria and Minecraft, I don’t care which layout I use anymore, my fingers don’t get confused, and everything is fine.
