Design UI/UX Mobile Games for Left Hand Dominant People

This research investigates the relationship between hand dominance and user interface (UI) layout preferences in mobile gaming, specifically focusing on how left-handed users interact with standard, right-hand-centric game designs.

• Customizable UI is more effective than a one-size-fits-all mirrored layout, as individual preferences for button placement, size, and transparency vary significantly among players.
• Left-handed players reported higher satisfaction with standard right-handed layouts (4.18 mean score) than with mirrored layouts (2.41 mean score) in PUBG, indicating a high level of adaptability to existing designs.
• Developers should prioritize implementing fully customizable UI features, particularly in high-complexity genres like Battle Royale and MOBA, to ensure inclusivity.
