It sounds like your fingering would actually be off for your left hand
if you did that (assuming one wants to follow proper fingering). I think
I used to do the same thing years ago. Once I learned "proper"
fingering, I think I rotated the keyboard the other way so that the left
hand could be somewhat more in line. Eventually I got un-staggered.
