      Inverted y? Yes.

      Inverted x? Not really? Sometimes? Depends on the context?

          ngl, if the game’s control scheme has you control pitch and yaw with the mouse, then I find that it’s all or nothing with control inversion.

          For instance, in Space Engineers, if I move as the engineer, I prefer straight controls for pitch and yaw. But when I’m piloting, I prefer inverted pitch and can wrap my mind around inverted yaw.

      why do you think so? (i’ve never thought about it before and am genuinely curious)

        (Vertical Inverted) I see the joystick as my head. If I push it up forward (like my head), I’ll end up looking at my feet and if I pull it backward, I’ll be looking at the ceiling.

          Imagining it as a camera also works.

          But I’m stuck inverting the y axis because of flight games when I was a kid.

          My 8 year old is y axis ambidextrous. He doesn’t even notice which way it’s set.

            Oh, I assume people are talking about controller here, I could never play inverted on a mouse/keyboard.

            Probably, but I’m not sure. I’ve only ever used consoles or used USB/Bluetooth controllers for emulators.

        To clarify I mean inverted y axis. It may just be that I started gaming with flight sims, but I see it less as tilting up and down and more like tilting forward and back. If you had a joystick on the top of your head and tilted it forward your head would start looking down. Likewise if you tilted it back your head would look up.

      What do you mean? I once tried to ride a bike with inverted steering. It sucks. I couldn’t stay on longer than 2 seconds. Most people can’t, although there are few who have managed to learn it.
