have you ever tried playing a mouse-only game?

during my 1st ever mouse-only game just now, i frequently had the urge to use the keyboard, but i resisted and kept on playing.

i ended up getting 125 APM in this 21 min long game.

i was zerg and my korean pub opponent was terran.

he was terrible, but man, it was still challenging against a chobo.

after the game, my right hand fingers feel very tired. they were pretty tensed up during the game.

i now feel like i can own up so easily with both hands. man, it was an interesting experience, and i think you should try it out with either ur main or off-race, whichever you feel like.

here's a rep of mine, in case you wanna see how i did against z v t (mech) with mouse-only.
http://repdepot.net/replay.php?id=11646

after watching the rep, i can't really tell if i didn't use the keyboard at all. hah anyway, i'd like to see you win a game with mouse-only.

gogo!

edit: im a terran user with 220-260apm

I was once forced to play a mouse only game because my keyboard randomly stopped working, I won the game but damn it was a hassle.

When I'm in a slump, I challenge myself into a mouse only game, after I win, I go and skyrocket up the iccup ladder w/ keyboards this time.

Dang...125APM with mouse only?

Fastest I ever got whenever I messed around like that was like 70 or 80...

Micro'ing isnt even all that bad...it's multitasking and macro that are impossible.

It's probably the same guy who invented fusion reactors and ice cream.

I use this all the time as a handicap vs noob players that want to RE or whatever. Sometime I'll give them vision instead or in addition to it. And yea about 125 apm

I remeber me and ash.sonic played 1v1 Bloodbath at a SoCal LAN with mouse only.

Trick I use to make sure I don't use my left hand is to put it behind my lower back and sit on it.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

I think it would be funner and harder to play opposite handed. Like move your mouse to the otherside of the keyboard.

Would mess up hand position, hotkeys and you would fumble and screw up so much as opposed to just being slow
