I'm also a lefty...with all the other accessibility options, this seems like a major oversight. I always, on every PC game I play, rebind movement to arrows. I have a gaming keyboard so I can change function that way, but I really hope there's a fix for this soon.
I am on PC, playing through the EA app.
Out of curiosity, which gaming keyboard do you use that allows you to rebind in the keyboard itself? Guess it's time for me to pick one up. Thanks!

Well, mine is an older Razer DeathStalker, but Logitech and several others make keyboards that can be remapped like this.

Thanks! I ordered a Razer BlackWidow.

I'm not who you asked, but I'm using a Corsair K65 Plus, and I really like it. It's compact, which was a primary draw for me, but it's also super responsive and has really nice action. It's on the quiet side for a mechanical keyboard, but still pretty loud (to me), so I added O-rings to help reduce the sound of keypresses. You can use their iCUE software to remap most of the keys on it.

In addition to the gaming-specific keyboards people have mentioned, note that key remapping is a feature of most modern mechanical keyboards. Unless you're getting deep into the hobby, they mostly have GUI configurators these days, too, making them more accessible than ever. There's no requirement to buy a keyboard marketed specifically to "gamers"; it's worth looking at broader reviews and recommendations, because you'll often find something that meets your needs while being both cheaper and more flexible (or something at a comparable price point but of higher quality).
In particular, I tend to urge people to be extremely diligent when researching "gaming" mechanical keyboards before buying them, as historically they have often used a nonstandard layout for the bottom row, with key widths that differ from most other keyboards. Where a standard spacebar is 6.25 units—with a "unit" being the width of a single square letter key—some "gaming" keyboards have a bottom row built around a spacebar that's 6.5u or 6.0u, with the widths of one or more other keys adjusted as well. (The mentioned Corsair K65 is a good example: on its bottom row, only the Alt keys are a standard width.) This means that if you want to customize the keyboard with a different set of keycaps, most standard sets won't be compatible. At best, you'll need to buy supplemental sets of nonstandard caps (which often won't even have all the keys you need) or look only for sets designed specifically for that keyboard, which tends to limit you to a handful of vendors.
