Just use your thumb if it bothers you that much

Losing half a second while you move your hand is going to lose you games

Well, I know that this is reviving an old post, but I'm new to this game and wanted some opinions on just rebinding the control button. Since it seems that ctrl can just be really hard to get to and since the spacebar doesn't really seem to be that useful if you just watch your minimap and properly hotkey things you need to check, would it be so bad to rebind control to the spacebar? It seems like it would be much easier to set control groups if I had all the room in the world to press space with my thumb and be able to get to all of my numbers... I want to learn starcraft 2 properly and not develop bad habits, so If this isn't a good idea(maybe I SHOULD use spacebar?) please let me know.

It all comes down to what is most comfortable for you. It isn't a bad habit, but it isn't optimal, neither is control though. In all honesty, control is probably better if you can learn to use it, but if your not planning on going pro, just be comfortable.

Tips of your fingers fellas.

Just like when you learn to play the piano. If you can't do it with a quarter balanced on top of your hand you're doing it wrong. "Bubble position".

maybe it's just my keyboard... My school gave us a Macbook so maybe I should try it on a separate keyboard before I switch key bindings...
