Razer Blackwidow problems

Sorry but am I the only one who has got this problem? I recently bought the razer blackwidow and whenever I play starcraft 2 I can never hit the control or shift keys and to be honest I really think my muscle memory is really really fucked up. I might yes the mechanical aspect is really nice but when you are playing it is so offputting to always be hitting them very very annoying macro keys all of the time and to be honest it really puts me off my play and puts me on tilt almost.


Basically the point of this is to ask if anybody else had the same problems when they bought this keyboard and after having it for a while does this problem seem to stop occuring so often?


Thanks for reading!

( damn this felt very very nice to write with these blue switches )

It's just something you have to get used to. I had the problem for the first few weeks but it went away.


I know someone else who has one has popped the macro keys off using the little key remover that came with the keyboard...just pop them off until you get used to them not being there, and stick em back on, or just leave them off.

SirJolt: Well maybe if you weren't so big and stupid, it wouldn't have hit you.

LOL, i thought you got a faulty keyboard there...
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

The reason is already given in the first couple of sentences- you haven't gotten used to it yet.
Its like how I thought this laptop keyboard was terrible to type on- it is- but I got used to it.

I got a blackwidow ultimate and I had the exact same problem. I was lazy and I fixed the problem by just binding the macro keys into the keys the have next to them (m5 = left ctrl, m4=shift etc.). That pretty much solved it. It's not like you need macro keys in sc2 anyway.
