Left handed designs never work due to the fact that lefties have spent their whole lives using the "righty" design. Have you ever use left-handed scissors? Good luck cutting paper.
There are some very noticeable differences between left handed specific things and their 'normal' counterparts you know..I am left handed and many things that i always thought were difficult to do become much more simple when you get the 'right' equipment. Using scissors and opening cans being the two major ones..followed by firing a bow and paddling a kayak.
So yes..I have used left handed scissors and I find it almost impossible to use right handed ones despite attempting to use them for years at school. Left handed things arn't difficult to get hold of anymore so there's no excuse to not have access to them if you are left handed.
I do however type and use my mouse in a right handed way just because i've never felt it has very much bearing on what your dominant hand really is, I also know several right handed people who find they prefer to use their dominant hand to press keys aswell.
The OP's point is fairly obsessive though, I could say the same thing about characters having different sized feet to me or blinking less than I do breaks my personal immersion..it's not like any game literally has your personal balance behind it short of using motion sensor games where this isn't a problem.
I cannot remember ever stopping to remember what hand a character uses a bow or sword with because almost always they have some ridiculous way of using that weapon anyway that overpowers any realism.
