So, not sure if I've mentioned it in my blog before, but I have some pretty nasty shoulder problems. On Nov 30th I went and had surgery on my left shoulder to try to repair it. Turns out my labrum was almost completely detached, so I've got about 9 months of recovery on my left shoulder and a surgery on my right shoulder to look forward to.

For the 6 months after surgery at very least, I'll be in a sling on my left, and it turns out, SC2 in a sling is pretty hard. Pre-surgery, I'd been playing around a low-mid Plat level; If anyone would like to play a few rounds with me, I can probably still perform around a gold level. Give me a ing or TL or in game! I'll be around.

Next, we have fapping with one hand. oh wait...

Ok serious. That sucks something, but I remember there was this other guy that was diamond with mouse only. You can press space to go to alerts. TBH if I were playing 1 handed, I would still use the keyboard, just switch between keyboard and mouse quickly so you can still macro. The main problems are binding to a hokey, and attack moving. maybe you can change attack to like the "+" button and press it with your thumb while your hand is half on the mouse, and use the number pad to go 6, +, click. That would be sick.

Hm I wonder how mouse-only in sc2 is compared to broodwar... I am pretty familiar with the difficulty associated with 1 handed bw XD

Let me introduce you to the remote wireless-usb keyboard!

I run a computer shop and one of my customers who does alot of typing on his computer dislocated his shoulder and wasn't allowed to type for 6 months so I got him a mini-wireless keyboard that was able to fit in his palm.

At the very least, I think you could use the 'a' and 's' keys along with the numbers and make/recall control groups

I'm already used to using grid layout and I can hit most of the hotkeys without a problem, it's more of a problem being able to quickly/accurately hit ctrl+number, or even just numbers in general, being able to turn my wrist at all, etc. Typing is also ok, I just cant muster the usual hotkey acrobatics.
