Quite the opposite. There are ambidextrous trackballs and the number-pad is better for gaming, IMO the WASD region of the main keyboard. I use th3 arrow island either to select weapons or to chord with keys for special purposes.
Interestingly they make keypads to better organize the left hand of the keyboard, but separate numberpads that include the editing islands are almost unheard of, but I generally use a mechanical keyboard for gaming anyway.
Curiously, I do use a joystick right-handed, the product of playing flight sims and space sims ( Wing Commander, X-Wing, etc.) on a buddy's computer, but once I was using mouse and keyboard, I swapped.
