When you move your mouse distance x it will move the cursor distance y regardless of the speed you moved the mouse. When enhance pointer precision is on: When you move your mouse distance x it will move the cursor distance y, as a function of the speed you moved the mouse. The faster you moved the mouse, the greater distance y becomes. This is a classic example of how enhancement is actualy a worsening feature. The precisision is never enhanced, it is worsened when the mouse is moved with a greater speed. | ||

acceleration means that it will move the pointer more when you move your mouse fast than when you move your mouse slow. This makes it kinda hard to get really good at moving your mouse precisely. | ||

This doesn't help at all, I want exactly the same mouse sensivity in scbw and desktop this you only have 10 options with chaos. | ||

For macroing, you advocate hatchery hotkeys of using your ring finger for s and your index finger on 5-9. I find this extremely uncomfortable and impractical; my middle finger feel very awkward and lacks room to rest, hitting sd is awkward at best, and my index finger does not comfortably reach any further than 7. I know you say that you should use whatever works for you as long as it's logical, but my problem is that I can't find any such set up that my short fingers can actually do (you say you can hit #sz all the way from 5 to 0, I'm only able to do it comfortably for 5 and 6 and not able to do it at all higher than 7). Currently I use 4-0 as hatcheries with my ring finger resting on s, but as I have found no good way to hit 7-0 s whatever with my left hand, I usually bring over my right hand to hit the number keys above 6 when I go to macro. I imagine you think this is horrible, but I really haven't been able to find anything that's comfortable. Suggestions? | ||

I don't know how well day[9] remembers but back in 2002 we played alot of games together as we developed our playstyles and hotkey systems. It is no coincidences that we use identical keys. We did spend some time back then while playing zvz's and watching replays talking about hand placements so I feel I can answer some of your questions for you. The reason 7-0 feel very ackward to you is because you are not lifting your hand. My hands are just large enough to palm a basketball and on my keyboard I cannot hit 7sh8sh9sh0sh without my hand having to contort very badly. The answer is that you hit 7sd8sd9sd0sd by lifting your hand hiting the number key with your index and then sliding back to your ring finger on S positioning. It isn't possible for a regular sized hand person to hit 5sd6sd7sd8sd9sd0sd without lifting there hands. I think this podcast did alot of good and you did a great job sean(!!!) but I do think it failed to inform alot of players that need to know that you simply cannot play a hotkey based macro game without lifting your hand, unless you did what day[9] calls 'noob' and decide to always click on the unit picture. Lift your hand. Lift your hand Lifting your (Palm just above and a little below the spacebar) is the only way to move 1a2a3a4a5a6a7a8a and do 5sd6sd7sd8sd9sd. As you gain confidence in your hotkey setup that 'pivot bone' in your left hand just becomes a 'home row' hand position, it does not mean that you are not lifting your hand all the way up at times and moving it. 4-0 is hard because as a zerg player even if you go lings -> scourge -> hydra you will quickly run out of keys for units. Also ZvZ you just do not have enough room for muta/ling/scourge before you begin to throw off your 'mechnical' hotkey flow. If this doesn't help let me know! | ||

Also ZvZ you just do not have enough room for muta/ling/scourge before you begin to throw off your 'mechanical' hotkey flow. If this doesn't help let me know! So basically moving your entire hand to the right to hit each number key and then moving back to hit s whatever? I am not even able to do that very well even while looking at my keyboard, is it just a matter of practice? The quickest solution is probably to drop the illusion that I'll ever improve passed D with zerg  A little unrelated, but since you mention ZvZ (which happens to be the only matchup I am decent at), I was curious as to what I should aim for in terms of building placement in that matchup. Right now I usually put my pool under my extractor but other than that I have no set ideas on placements. Thoughts? | ||
