Pretty sure everyone is going to use side scrolling with the mouse as well as clicking with the minimap.

Middle mouse is used by most commentators, as it is the smoothest. Minimap clicking for huge jumps is obvious. Arrow keys for replays. Sides for games.

This is going to be true for everyone.

Do you have really high sensitivity or do you go haywire with your mouse hand? Never figured it was possible to play only with the MMB.
Sidescrolling for me.

Usually use the minimap on alerts, but everything else is side screen scroll.

Side scroll like everyone else, but I'd love to use a "scroll ball" mouse (like Apple's old Mighty Mouse) to scroll the map. You get the fine control without he awkward hold-and-move of the middle click.

Hey, clicking on mini map is not scrolling... But since you have that option, how about spacebar/backspace?

I use middle-mouse scrolling with very high sensitivity. It actually allows you to eliminate mouse trips to the minimap as with high sensitivity you can move across the map in a fraction of a second. It also removes the need to move your fingers to the arrow keys. I think it's the superior movement method.

I also disabled screen scrolling.

I use arrow keys sometimes when there is no action, because it's just so relaxing.
But mostly side screen scrolling.

Middle click for local movements, minimap for switching locales. I don't remember what game it was that first got me using the middle mouse button, but since then it has always felt really awkward when I haven't been able.

Do you have really high sensitivity or do you go haywire with your mouse hand? Never figured it was possible to play only with the MMB.


I turned the middle click scrolling sensitivity up to 100% and I play with relatively high mouse sensitivity. I can make it about one half to one third of the way across a medium sized map accurately with one swipe of the mouse using the middle mouse button.

I hotkey everything.. But at the start of the match I side screen scroll. I might use the middle mouse now that I know about it though.

Sidescreen for close stuff, minimap for far stuff, most of the time I double tap hotkeys for my main/army/scouts/production.
