My hot keys are 1-3 Army 4 all hatcheries 5 all queens Using the macro function located in the Razer mouse driver on button 5 (it's a extra button located on the left side of the mouse, very comfortable to hit). Set up the macro with the following key strokes "5 backspace X" (x if you are using grid hot keys). Once you have this set up injecting larva is simply this. Step 1: click "button 5" on mouse Step 2: left click hatch Repeat as needed. I have found even if I have a hatch with no queen it's easy to click button 5, see that hatch has no queen and click button 5 again to go to the next hatch. You can spot the hatch with no queen in under a half second. Also if you go around the cycle and try to click on a hatch that you already injected it's no problem, you simply get that warning buzzer. Just hit escape to cancel your command or double tap 1 to get back to your army. Personally I have found this setup super intuitive to learn and as quick as any other larva inject setup. In fact you may even be able to hold the shit key and inject even faster as shown in this youtube video (not mine). + Show Spoiler + Disadvantages? Well if you are trying to go pro you probably won't be able to install your Razer drivers and set up the macro function at a tournament (but I think gaming mice that store the macros in the mouse itself will be out within the next few years). But for the average Joe (like me) who has no chance of going pro, only plays at home and only for personal enjoyment, this is a sold setup. The last tip is take notice of the mouse cursor. It will turn into a green crosshair if it's ok to larva inject. This is useful if you have overlords (or whatever) obscuring your view of the hatchery. Cya. | ||

Are you sure about that? I just find that hard to believe when Razer sells the SC2 gaming mouse that supports macros! http://store.razerzone.com/store/razerusa/en_US/pd/productID.199816600/categoryId.35208800 Here is a review saying it supports macros, http://www.pcworld.com/article/212110/review_razer_spectre_starcraft_ii_gaming_mouse.html Also it's not altering or hacking the SC2 program in anyway. I just can't imagine Blizzard caring one way or another. Now talking about the ethical use of macros in SC2 is a different story. I suspect all major tournaments ban the use of any macros but I don't know for sure. And i really don't know how much of an edge it gives anyway. I suspect not much but for me I like this setup and plan to continue to use it. If i get baned by Blizzard I'll let you guys know  . | ||

QFT Seriously this thread gave Zerg users like...10 times the work load for doing something so simple as binding all Queens to a Hotkey (4 for me) and then injecting via the minimap -_- Please, Zerg users, just use the mini-map, the OP's suggestion is a WASTE OF TIME. | ||

But obviously it's personal preference. Every Zerg players should try all the different methods and pick the one they find easiest. | ||

1. move mouse to center 2. press '4' ( all queens key) 3. and then repeat ~V Its faster because you are repeating only 2 keys instead of 3( we are not playing piano here :-) ) | ||
