Lefty

Remap any key for left-handed gaming. Low latency, native Rust engine.

Platform Latency Rust

What is it?

  • WASD → IJKL (or arrows, numpad) for left-hand movement
  • Map any key to any other: W→I, Q→U, Caps→Ctrl, Win→Disabled
  • Add-mapping validation: duplicate sources and self-maps are blocked inline
  • Accent Color themes: 10 presets + custom picker (Settings → Appearance)
  • Profile Import/Export to .json with merge or replace modes
  • Interface sounds: distinct chimes for activate vs pause (Settings → General)
  • Tabbed Settings: General, Appearance, Input, Profiles, About
  • Works in any game (low-level hook)
  • Very low latency native Rust engine (verify live in Settings → About)
  • Clean dark UI

Install

git clone https://github.com/EtherealDevv/Lefty
cd Lefty
# Run
.\dist\Lefty.exe
# Or install
.\dist\Lefty_1.3.0_x64-setup.exe

Troubleshooting

  • Not working in game: Run as Admin. Some anti-cheats block hooks → use Interception.
  • Stuck key: Pause and resume.
  • High delay: Close other hooks (AutoHotkey).
