That or my Leopold FC700R with blues.

one thing I will say, as a protoss player, having scoops on F and J have made playing alot easier becasue its always really easy to repositon your hand, and not to miss FF's

Turkishrambo · « **Reply #4 on:** Thu, 07 March 2013, 09:15:30 »

usually my ducky shine with blues or qfr with green

I find the clickyness help me stay in rhythm and if i dont hear clicking im doing something wrong!

I used my Filco with blues for RTS games, and games with a similar playstyle, like LoL. I don't have that anymore, though, so I'd probably use my browns for SC2 now. Not getting another board with blues just for RTS gaming, since I don't do a whole lot of it.

Rosewill with blues.

I used to play with my Realfore 91UBY but I don't play it anymore.

You already know what board I'm using, 62g gold clears for SC2... they're a little bit too tactile but eh. I can cope with it. I really enjoyed using blues for SC2 when I had my stock Filco... modded Filco has some super lubed clears, feels really good. I have 300~ apm

I use a quickfire with blues! just incase.....

I use a CMS-QFR and I find it really comfy however I would love to try a Poker out with my setup. I currently use the "Grid" layout of keys as there is no need to go halfway across the keyboard to hit certain keys. It takes a bit of practice to get used to but I think it is a lot faster, or at least it feels a bit better.

keymaster · « **Reply #16 on:** Sat, 23 March 2013, 12:29:39 »

My only mechanical at the moment: Leopold FC200 (MX brown) with imsto's thick PBT keycaps. Feels good, man.

nar · « **Reply #17 on:** Sat, 23 March 2013, 14:50:47 »

I use my Topre HE0100, having F7 to F12 on top of F1 to F6 makes binding locations a lot faster.

Still need to go get HoTS though.

Y U NO HotS yet?! The campaign is great and the multi-player is as good as ever!

Guessing that because you require more F keys than me to play, you are a Zerg? Or are you a mega expanding P/T?

Never got around to it, haven't had time to play SC2 in the past month so never had time to pay for HoTS

I play Random, and since I can bind a position to F1 by pressing F6 above it, I do stuff like binding a position to where an engage is about to happen and stuff. Coming from Supcom after stopping BW, I missed Strat Zoom.

Ohhh that binding for an engagement is a good idea, I may have to steal that!

viowastaken · « **Reply #34 on:** Tue, 26 March 2013, 17:32:49 »

I really think that the 84key close F-key cluster keyboards like the noppoo mini are really a head of the competition when it comes to SC2. Having a very convenient access to the fkey clusters make them a very viable binding option.

Personally I use F1-F4 for my hatcheries, and I really like it. The speed of which you can control is way quicker than with a traditional large cluster keyboard.

Just my 0.02, and of course this is an irrelevant minor detail in the large scheme of things, and really depend on whether or not you use the fkeys a lot.

baldgye · « **Reply #35 on:** Tue, 26 March 2013, 17:35:14 »

wouldn't it just make easier to use F-keys for location hotkeys instead?

I use ALT Q-W-E-R-T for location setting, and CTRL Q-W-E-R-T for location jumping.

edit: I use location keys religiously, and I strongly suggest that everyone start using them as fast as possible. Not only is it a million times faster once you get used to it, but it also alleviates a lot of mousing needs making it less taxing to play the game.

Yeah I know... but you probably should if you want to be good... lol

EDIT: I don't use them because I'm diamond and hardly know how to play the game... but it makes sense if your high level to master them because it will help you're speed.

Location hotkeys are so important... I keep them at F5-F8, I use my thumb to hit Ctrl. Used to doing that from playing Protoss in SC:BW ^^

I am currently Bronze/Silver 1v1 and Platinum in 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4.

I am a Terran player and I would love to be able to simply get better and play how I do in my team, for some reason I am unable to progress in 1v1 and I can't figure out why as I react accordingly and scout well but I just seem to fluff it up too much so I want a practice partner to up my game by giving me tips!

well i would like to use my new poker but it doesnt have F keys so that aint gonna work. i usually play with an IBM Model M but recently have been playing with a QFR with blues.

for DOTA2 i have to have a keyboard with Insert, Delete, Home, End, Pg Up, Pg Dn because that is how i setup my inventory. just like it is on the screen. i also use the arrows and the 0 numbad key for abilities. so for dota 2 i like the IBM Model M since it is the only full mech board i own.

other games if i can i play with the xbox 360 controller. i really like it. i use a PC with a GTX 680, i7 3770k, 16GB DDR3, SSD up the ass etc.
