Mirror Keyboard for Ambidextrous/Left-handed Users

License: MIT

Comprehensive solution for keyboard mirroring for left-handed users and training ambidextrous skills.

Features

  • Complete Russian/English mirror layout
  • Optimized for gaming (WASD-like controls)
  • Modifier key mirroring

Advantages

-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

Installation

  1. Download AutoHotkey

2.Click Tags and download the ZIP file from there. (https://github.com/Hamerc30/MirrorKeyboard/releases/tag/%23MirrorKeyboard)

  1. Run English.ahk or Русская.ahk

⚠️ Heads up!

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.
