As you might have guessed from the name, inverted controls are a feature that some video games have. They’re not common (yet). But they’re becoming more popular in recent years as game developers realize. How helpful they can be for players with special needs. In this article, we’ll explore why inverted controls exist. And whether or not they make a difference in the real world.
How do you get used to inverted controls?
Inverted controls are not for everyone. When you pick up an inverted game, it can be difficult to get used to the new controls and how they work. If you’re not used to playing with inverted controls. it’s probably best if you start out with standard control schemes in order to learn them. Before trying out your first video games with inverted movement options.
It can also be difficult at times when switching between games that use some form of inversion or non-inversion (such as Mega Man 9). Some gamers find this transition jarring because they don’t want their hands getting confused. About which buttons do what without looking at the screen. Others prefer this style over standard layouts because it allows them more freedom. When playing online games such as Overwatch or League of Legends (which both have different settings available).
Are standard controls better?
Inverted controls are a great way for some games to make their controls more accessible. They allow you to play the game with your hands in the most natural way possible. Which can be very important for people who have limited hand strength or dexterity issues. However, inverted controls don’t necessarily improve on standard gamepad control schemes. They work well in certain situations but not others. If you’re used to playing games on a controller (or even just playing them on your phone). Going straight from those into an inverted setup may feel unnatural and if it does. Then there’s no point in using this type of input method at all. If you want something that feels more natural than an upside-down pad (or right-side up). Try using something else instead such as voice commands or touchscreen controls instead.
What are the advantages to inverted controls?
Inverted controls are a great way to improve hand-eye coordination and muscle memory. The player will be able to use the same motion twice in a row, which helps them build muscle memory and improves their accuracy. This is especially helpful when you’re playing a game where there are lots of actions you need to perform quickly, like in fighting video games or sports video games.
In addition, inverted controls can help with muscle fatigue because they allow players’ hands and arms to rest while still keeping their fingers ready for action at all times during play sessions (which makes sense because if your arm is tired from holding something up while also using it as part of its intended function then what good would having an object do?).
Do inverted controls make a difference in the real world?
The inverted controls that we’re used to in games are not designed for the real world. They were made for video games, and they can be useful if used properly.
For example, if you want to play a shooter game on your phone but your thumbs are too fat or short to reach all four corners of the screen (maybe because of arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome), then inverted controls would help solve this problem by putting the buttons on top instead of bottom. This would make it easier for people who have already experienced some level of hand pain or strain because their hands aren’t as flexible anymore–or maybe even if they’re just still young enough where their grip strength hasn’t declined yet!
Should I keep inverted controls if I’m used to them, or change them?
If you’re used to inverted controls, keep them. But if you can’t get used to standard ones, change them. You might find that switching back and forth will help you adjust better.
If this sounds like something that’s worth trying out for yourself (or if it sounds like something that would be helpful), check out our article on how EnVyUs has made their own version of inverted controls in order to make competitive gaming more accessible for everyone—especially those who may be less familiar with traditional gamepad designs than many others are.
Conclusion
In the end, it’s up to you. If you’re used to inverted controls and have been enjoying them for months or years, then keep using them. But if your hands are aching after a few hours of playing and it feels like something’s missing from the game because of this change (or because your keyboard isn’t conducive), then consider switching back over to standard controls so that everyone can enjoy what everyone else is playing
