boxer never really misses a key ever, because he ripped out the non sc ones. lets just call that a cheat also because he has a lesser chance of hitting the wrong key than PlayerX huh?

Screw that, I want Boxer's keyboard!
Even though I am against modifying anything about StarCraft,I have to admit the program looks great

Lasgo, you should let that guy work on all your interfaces!

Here's how I look at this: Do you think they'd let you take a program into WCG to modify the game so you could play in some special way so you only have to press 2 keys to do everything? No.

As for my personal opinion, I DO think this is a 3rd party program..how could you not? It's editing the game files to let you play an easier and different way than it should be played. I think it's gay, and anyone who would use something like it to be a fag.

its not pressing only 2 keys to do everything

its changing the keys you already press to another key.

i wouldnt mind if my opponent used this. i know id be using it too, ( i use custom keys in war3)

i think alot of micro/macro will improve and bring skill level hgiher if this is released.

I've read a lot of the major arguments, I say release it because the people who are opposing it are just thinking its hack, I don't think there's any problem with Blizzard or anything, let them do whatever they want with it, but I'll probably ues it.

3rd party software that modifies the game to give you an advantage... i think this is pretty much true. much different from modifying keyboard or mouse or chair or monitor.

Of course its not a hack. I wouldn't use it because it'd take too much time to get used to and I play sc only for fun, but I'd understand other people wanting to get really good at sc using it. People who say its unfair:

Is it fair if someone has contacts that give you better than 20/20 vision?

Is it fair if elky wears his sunglasses to shade out the glare of the screen?

Is it fair if someone has a energy drink before a tournament(increase reflexes etc?)

Is it fair if you're playing at your house in a good/nice/cool environment while someone else is playing at a stuffy pc bang surrounded by people, and cramped?

Hell no, its life, get a fuckin grip, and stop bitching about everything that could improve or change bw. lol

Glad I refreshed the thread first..I was going to write exactly what Stimey just wrote. All of you idiots that are referring to keyboards and mouses and regional settings are IDIOTS. THOSE ARE NOT EDITING FILES FOR STARCRAFT, STFU

and I don't know why everyone whines about probe P being on the other side.. do you have baby hands or something? have you ever fathomed that you can actually use your mouse to click the probe, rather than taking your hand off everything and going over and hitting P? No? Amazing...

i would use the term "hack" in this case to describe something that is software modifying a game to attempt to help a player do better. i think blizzard would too. however insigificant or justified this "hack" is, it's still a hack. 90% of people are not gonna be using it because A) not allowed in competitions B) have to relearn shit C) feel it's a hack D) definitely considered a hack by blizzard etc. etc. so really, if you're gonna use it, it's either giving you an advantage on a large majority of your opponents or you shouldn't bother using it anyways.

when you choose your mouse, your keyboard, your monitor, etc., those are things you have to do to play sc. you must have some, and you have options. blizzard doesnt intend sc to be played on one mouse or one keyboard. but i think it's pretty obvious that hacks are different. you don't have to choose some hacks to play sc. you can play sc without hacks. coincidentally, this is exactly how blizzard intends it.

So buying a special keyboard that places all the SC keys in the places I like best is ok, but remapping my keyboard to accomplish the same thing is 100% wrong?

Quite the double standard.
