cl_righthand 1 or 0?

cl_righthand 1 or 0?

Many people ask should you use cl_righthand 1 or 0 to have the gun models show on the left hand side or the right.

Most just say its personal preference which for the most part it is, but is there any other benefit to it? Yes.

This really only applies to people who switch from left to right all the time and cant decide on which one to use, this guide will help you make that decision but at the end of the day personal preference is king and if you have played comfortably for years with one side, just stick to it.

I got this info from old, old CS players; it’s to do with which eye is your dominant eye. The basics is this, dependent on which eye is your dominant eye, left or right depends on which side your gun model will be of benefit to you.

If you are left eye dominant, you want your gun model on the right.
If you are right eye dominant, you want your gun model on the left.

This is because you want your dominant eye to have the most vision on the screen and to be concentrating on the crosshair and not the gun model.

So how do you find out which eye is dominant?

Refer to the following links to figure out which eye is dominant for you.
