A couple of hours ago, I played three matches against a friend of mine who also acts as my coach. I lost on all of those matches, obviously however it seems that I am learning a lot on making scouting a real habit in SC2 along with taking advantage of the Xel'Naga towers. Even though I am losing, I can't help but actually feel happy about it. I don't feel as pissed off or sad about myself as I used to. Kind of a good start.


Anyways, after playing, I continued browsing for some stuff I need to get me a decent gaming desktop. I came across the Razer peripherals that are made specific for Starcraft gameplay, and I thought them to be pretty neat. But alas, they are expensive as hell.

Of the three peripherals, the Marauder and the Spectre are the what I want the most for my gaming desktop. From what I heard, the Marauder is pretty comfy and can help out when trying to punch in the right hotkeys without the accidental press of a different key. The Spectre was just as interesting. It's been a while since I saw a mouse of that shape as I have grown tired of every mice I see to be rounded up and stuff.

I am not after these items in the hopes of them making me into a Starcraft II pro, though they might make SC2 gaming a little easier for me. But what I like about these peripherals is that they might feel comfortable to use in comparison to my laptop keyboard and my logitech wireless keyboard. I plan on getting a job soon and if I want a gaming PC, I want the fanciest PC I can find.

I've heard the Marauder has a tiny left shift key, if that factors at all into your decision. Razer makes good gaming products; I myself have the Razer Abyssus, a low-end Razer mouse, and it, cheap as it is, does a great job!

My current mouse has served me well, as long as I don't use the screen capture feature thing.

My keyboards on the other hand feel a bit off. Laptop keys are always the same and since my logitech keyboard runs on batteries I can't rely on them for long gaming hours. If I were to play a shooter, that might be the case though.

I have the Razer Deathadder myself and it's the best mouse I've used. I also bought a Logitech G110 keyboard.... My advice is don't bother getting a gaming keyboard. It doesn't really do anything. Specially for SC2.

Stay away from Razer keyboards. You can get much better quality from companies like Filco, Leopold and Ducky. Mechanical is the way to go. Razer is overpriced and below average quality.

This is all you need as your keyboard guide.

Hmmm... that may be, though I am a sucker for fancy tech It's not that I need the keyboard to make me pro, I just thought it would be kinda nice to have for a desktop should I get one.
