anyone know if they allow koreans to use customized keyboard like that starkey keyboard picture shown above?
blizzard has NO WAY to detect starkey.
afaik the top buttons are onlyhardwired version of 2 other keys.
so its not detectable.
on the other hand, u could try modifying ur keyboard drivers so that u switch the buttons as u like, and create profiles which are automatically loaded on bw startup. but i think thats a rather complicated sollution for that problem

I wouldnt use it, but I wouldnt mind my opponent using it.
same here...
i dont quite see what the big deal is... anyone is able to install/use different keyboard layouts on their comp or even program their own and use that if u wanted. There surely is no problem with that, I mean how can u ban someone for being french or dutch or german or... whatever, just because they're using their native keyboard layout? Exactly, you cant.

But if changing key layout will not be officialy accepted by the tournaments, then
players that changed keys will have an advantage at bnet, but
players that didn't, will have a big advantage at tourneys, because
players that changed keys will be used to their bindings and will f*ck up...
I won't change my keys, because i want to go to korea and beat boxer at ogn final -______-; but too sad ima z...

tournament rules are at the purview of the tournament director
but i see nothing wrong with using a program which simply reconfigures the keyboard layout

I won't use it. Play the game it was meant to be played.

u suggesting that people should be forced to play the game with an english keyboard layout even though they might eg be used to having a dutch one? simply changing the keyboard layout in the regional settings of your OS will 'remap' keys, ie hotkeys will be the same, but the key is in a different place. That is perfectly legitimate, so I dont see why another way of remapping it would make any difference whatsoever.
Plus... if after 6yrs anyone is still too retarded to find and press a specific key on their keyboard, then they will suck at BW, no matter how many keys they remap...

Nothing wrong with this - there's a tool to do it in war3. It's just something that blizzard "forgot" and never cared enough to put back.
I'd use that program for sure.

it's not cheating cause everyone can benefit from it?
everyone can benefit from maphack too
changing your keys make the game less challenging and gives you an unfair advantage over someone who doesn't, that's why it's a cheat according to me
you could start argueing that having a better mouse than your opponent gives you an unfair advantage over him too, but that's just lacking of common sense
|
a mouse doesn't edit the game files ;O

i cant see the diffrence between a cs player who change sensitivity and a bw player changing hotkeys, allow it
|
|
|
i need it. fucking p hotkey for probe. in other races, the keys are better for worker, really annoying with toss. its more like makin it equal and fair for protoss players to have a good key for the probe !
just make a program with which u can only change that hotkey ^^;;
|
just hotkey 0 with nexus and then it is easy to "p" =_=;
|
LOL. I've had custom keys for a long time now -_- You might as well release it, because if the site I got it at takes it down I'll sure as hell upload it.
I think the BW community is SO obsessed with everything being FAIR (OMG YOU MAPHACKED YOU FUCKING HACKER DIE!! - not that I maphack, I think it's lame) that they're not even having fun and just playing the game.
I don't even care if my opponent hacks. Seriously, go ahead and maphack, change your hotkeys, and whatever else you can do. I really, honestly don't care. BW is getting so amazingly paranoid over the fact that people might have an ADVANTAGE!!! OMG PLZ SAY NO!!!! HIS PROBE HOTKEY IS S INSTEAD OF P?!?!? HACK!!! HACK!! HACK!!! The main goal right now in BW (at least, from what I see) is not to have fun, try new strats (that's kind of hard though -_-) and get better, but to catch hackers, be sure you're not being hacked against, and make sure as hell your opponent doesn't have an advantage of some kind over you.

i'd use it more for like changing "z" for zealot cause it gets kinda hard when you're using 5-9 gates, z just seems so far causing me to misclick :[

there are keycraft's out for w3/tft for quite a long time, banned by blizzard as the have made the key layout change possible with path 1.xy (dunno exactly).
it's a third party until it's not made by blizzard itself or with their official blessing
therefore blizzard will not be arguing with us whether it is a hack or not (blizz say it is), but telling blizzard to make the players able to change their keys in w3 style might bring success.
..and then they could possibly include all those stuff that w3 has taken from bw (auto-cloning, multiple buildings @ 1 hotkey, etc..)
but tell blizzard something..
