So today I've been doing some customs and ladder games. However, I don't know if I'm on tilt or it's my Razer Imperator, I've been having a lot of control issues with my units. This happens once in a while but what happens is that my command centers are rallied to a zerg natural and my 15 marines die to 2 banelings. This made me go into an all caps rage and which forced me to play worse. I took a break and came back and did just as bad. I don't even know if its the weather either or I'm just pissed rofl. Could it be something with the mousepad? It feels like I'm just missclicking everywhere.

wait, what?
How does your CC Rally change where your marines go, and why don't you just change the rally?

I don't know. It's just a whole game of "bad playing" with poor control.

Sounds to me like you just need to work on your control and mouse precision. Sometimes when I pick up my APM (mid-Late Game) I tend to accidentally hot key my production structures my my army key because I'm spamming Shift + 1-4 ant 1-4 regularly super fast leading to ridiculous rally points.

I honestly doubt it's your mouse as I have the exact same mouse and never had a problem. Seems like a precision thing. What grip do you use? certain mouses perform like crap with certain grips ^^ (Claw or Palm)

Fingertip grip is the way to go for RTS games imo. You get alot more precision that way. Palm grip is better for FPS games.

I am palm grip as well from my extensive FPS background, have to agree claw grip is the best. More fluid control but I feel it leads to quicker carpal tunnel xD

I would advise to maybe slow down and make sure you are not hot keying your structures to your army groups like I do xD.

Gripping the mouse with the fingertips? Maybe with a small mouse.

I've used two mouses in all my days and they've both been medium/large mouses of decent weight. Trying to grip it any other way than with the palm just seems silly. I've never had any control issues whatsoever either.

I also think you probably mis-hotkeyed your production buildings to a unit army and caused them to rally wrong. I find that I tend to misclick when I'm tired, though, usually not because I'm unhappy or something. Chill out, slowing down often helps with accuracy and speed up as you become more comfortable.

Are you maybe clicking on the small unit hotkey icons and re-assigning your hotkeys? And then you want to send units somewhere, do 1-rightclick without looking and all your buildings are rallied there?

You can make the hotkey bar unclickable or hidden in the gameplay options.

I have the same mouse and never had a problem that i didn't cause myself.


Also, i can't understand how people can use anything else than a palm grip, it feels far too unnatural to hold a mouse any other way. Been doing it since 20 years and never had any problems.
