I highly suggest everyone else to do the same. The pinky finger is not designed to be durable, it cannot handle the rigorous apm spam that other fingers are capable of (unless you are a low 30 apm user like CTStalker). | ||

Somewhat intresting how many people dont use thumb. Pinkey i can understand because its a weaker finger and people dont want to go though the trouble of using it in the first place. If done well using thumb for "a" certainly seems faster then usign another finger for a, as it frees up fingers and seems more convient for hand shape. Also thumb for "ctrl" makes more sense to me as one's hand remains slanted toward the screen, not away like ctrl does. | ||

Here are my playing style: I use 1234567 for hatcherys and 09876 for units. In early game I use F2 and F3 on my two minerals lines so if someone do a reaver drop I could fast take my drones from danger. F4 are for there I have my rally point. Late game I have them on my exps that dont have any hotkey I use all fingers on my left hand when I play. In the beging I had an start postion so it sould be easier to find all buttons. Pinky on Q, ring on W, middle E, index on R and thumb on B. I also taked away two buttons between Right Ctrl and Alt Gr, I lay my thumb in that space and then it is really easy to find 09876 with my fingers. If we say that I have two modes then I plays we could say that then I use hotkeys 1234567 it is macro mode and 09876 are micro mode. In macro mode pinky are for the button over Ctrl (dont know what it is called) Ring finger are for 1 Q A and W. Middel finger are for E S Z and 2. Index finger are for R F G H N U M I 3 4 5 6 and 7. Thumb are for B V and C I press on Ctrl with my left side of my left hand In micro mode Pinky are for 5 6 7 U and H. Ring finger are for 8 and I Middel finger are for 9 Index finger are for 0 P and L Thumb for Ctrl. Before I hurt my hands I had an APM on 190 to 240 | ||

1 = pinky 2 = ring 3 = middle 4 = ring 5 = thumb Beginning game: 1 = overlord (first finger) 2 = drone building about to hatch (second finger) 5 = hatch (4th finger) Later in the game: 1 2 3 4 = units (1st 2nd 3rd 4th fingers) 5 - 0 = hatches (all 4th fingers) however when i build as in 5sz6sz7sz8sz9sz0sz i use 4th finger for hatch, second finger for s, first finger for z. This differs from mutas /hydras however I use my 4th finger for both hatch and the m/h because obviously my pinky isn't going to reach that far. My thumb i rarely ever use for spacebar, as we do have the f2 f3 f4 keys for macroing and my rally collection. Mmm I am a 350 apm user and I cannot imagine you using one hand and getting more than 80 apm. | ||

First rest on 1-2-3 with ring-middle-index. 1) go 1a2a3a4a5a6a, using thumb for a 2) go 1a2a3a4a5a6a, using ring for a. I think its clear which is faster as long as you lift your wrist off of the desk past the hight of the keyboard. Try this as well: 1) 1a2a3a, then ctrl with pinkey or pinky join+123 2) 1a2a3a, then ctrl with thumb joint+123 Again, its clear which is fastest as long as your wrist is lifted up high enough. So, I'm guessing its the lifting your wrist up thing that many of you guys dont do. Sure, using pinkey for ctrl and finger for a makes more sense if you keep wrist down. But, does keeping your wrist down make more sense? edit- assuing your thumb is not a fat immoible sausage. :p | ||

1 on shift 2 on A 3 on S 4 on D 5 on space. Omg...this gonna be hard to explain..here we go. At attack: Finger 2 at 1,A. Finger 3 AND Finger 2 at A. Finger 3 at 3 AND Finger 2 at A. Then...Finger 4 at 4 and finger 2 at A. Same to 5A. But after that I move the hand so Finger 4 is at 6 then finger 1 moves from Shift to A. and it goes up.. | ||
