I have come to rely on accidently antee upgrade ...

I no longer view it as a mistake, it is the swarm choosing for me.

I suggest you take some elmer's washable glue (in case you ever want to remove it) and put a dab on the key you're having trouble pressing (a second dab on top of the first one once the first dries if necessary).

This can help create an easily distinguishable shape to a key, which can allow you to find it quickly.

It's really useful on weird far-away keys like U for burrow and M for marine.

A more extreme method that would work even better would be to tape/glue something to the key, such as a piece of sand paper facing upwards or a small piece of metal or plastic or something.

This will give the key a very unique texture which'll be really easy for you to find.

I actually did this with the 0 and 1 keys on my keyboard not because I was missing them, but because my hands are now so used to the feel of it that they center around those points pretty constantly (0 for 0p9p8p), so I always know where everything on my keyboard is based on those two "anchor points."

Happens to me all the fucking time, and I don't even know what hotkey it is. I usually notice it though, and I cancel it before it finishes.

i hate the larve/scourge hotkey

when ever i am about to click hatchery,i press S and it came out scourge instead ,i was like oh fuck it.

AND OL VISION IS DAMN IRRITATING,WHY ZERG HOTKEY IS SO HARD?????


Agreeing with this, I can't count the number of times when i go back to my base after persumably hatching 3 defilers or zome zerglings or whatever and seeing scourge there, it's quite irritating.
Python is garbage, number 1 advocate of getting rid of it.

I press p a lot instead of o for tanks . The other annoying part is when i go nnnnnnnn on a bunch of barracks....

OMGOSH dude that's FRIGGIN ANNOYING as hell man... such a fail when i press p instead of o

even worse is pressing i? omgosh that send u bak to ur starting scrn dude... such a fail

esp cus most of the u've moved ur tanks further in then where u wanna o (siedge) em


anyhow as for OP's question the key is ur anchor ur hand

msot of the time it's because ur hand is jumpnig from stuff like p to s or d or 1 or w.e that it causes problems

wat u have to do is find spots u wan to anchor ur hands to (get 2 spots, one of the elft keys and the other for the right keys) and then continuously use em

then things get a lot better

@ OP:

Try hotkeying your lurkers to 7 or 8. "u" button is right under it so you can't miss it.

I usually don't have an issue with missing "u" but it's definitely costly if you do miss it.

How accurate are you when you take a typing test?


Usually fairly accurate (last test I took I had 98% or something like that). It's more that searching for the individual keys with my left hand only is kind of tricky.

Yeah I do that all the time as well, weird.

Sounds good and comfortable as well. I'll try that out, thanks.

I do that all the time as well, then usually cancel it half-way because I think it's not worth it. Actually thinking about it, burrow is really handy considering the cost and time it takes to upgrade There are like no builds that involve getting burrow @ some time I notice btw.

same, also burrow too because of when I think im clicked on a drone instead or something. I'm not sure how I always do it.

worst is when you trying to hit S for select larva when you are clicked on drones still.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)
