Assuming I have my raxes on 3, the factories on 4, starport on 5 and CCs on 6; I probably would have to hit 3aaaa4ss5dd6ss. Well in my personal case, this would take me about 3 seconds. (That is kinda slow if you are in the middle of a battle and need to make reinforcements quickly). So with that, we can say I have an execution speed of 3 seconds for that particular task. Most pros would do that in a second or maybe slightly less, while anything below a second and a half is really good. So the point of the OP is to give your fingers the dexterity to go from those 3 seconds to the 1.5 ~1 second of execution time. It is not teaching you how to spam etc etc. You will benefit from this a lot, even if it related to the game theory(like builds, or macro). Now shut up and get your fingers working out  | ||

Let's say I am a terran with 4 rax two facts with tech lab and a starport with a techlab. I stand to produce 4 marines, 2 tanks and 2 medivacs per cycle of production. Oh and say I have two orbital commands, so add 2 scvs to that. Assuming I have my raxes on 3, the factories on 4, starport on 5 and CCs on 6; I probably would have to hit 3aaaa4ss5dd6ss.

You nailed it dead on the money... That was indeed the point of this thread, and I'm glad some people understand me :D | ||

One of th key problems of anyone that is not really good at SC is getting lost and the keyboard (aka missclick). So one thing you can work is placing your hand real quick. Say I want to practice spawing drones. My hatchs are 5678. So what i'll do is define precisely what finger I use on each and stick to it no matter what. Now the fun part: Hit 0 with the pinky then 5sd6sd7sd8sd. Hit 1 with the index 5sd6sd7sd8sd. This help you not be like "woops pressed 4 instead of 5 and made my scout die". On the same basis you have switching between two "routines" like 5sd6sd7sd8sd 1a2a3a 5sd6sd7sd8sd 1a2a3a. Also the really good 12131415141312 and all the variations 21232425242321 etc.... Really good for fingers independency. And play an instrument super great for dexterity :p Also do this real slowly at first the goal is to do it well then do it fast. Cuz you'll never be able to do it in the other order. | ||

 I've always found that my mere handspeed was a rather resticting factor for my overall ingame-speed, so this OP was a real great read for me! Thank you so much for this, have been doing the drills all the time while reading through the pages, hope I can force myself (and remember^^) to do them on my way to univ; don't have anything to do on the bus so far.  | ||

Yeah, I don't get it either. Well, at least TL people are a lot nicer than other forums... Gl and hopefully you too can do stuff intensely quick too! | ||

123-124-123-124-123-124-123-124-123-124-123-124-123-124-123-124 I feel that I have pretty good control of my 1 2 3 4 Hotkeys just by doing this. Spike up to like 700 APM from just doing this. I also am one of those players who has chosen to hotkey their backspace to one of their mouse buttons, so as far as practicing spamming one hotkey over and over i.e: 4444444444444444444444444444444444444444444, I spam it early game while spamming the backspace on my mouse so it jumps back and forth between my scouting drone and my base. Apparently my pinky is weak though, because when I tried to do the asasasasaa while hovering over the keys, it started hurting after like 10 repetitions lol. | ||

I just want to note that not once did I see anything for being able to do this when NOT at my PC. >.> Just saying. But also I will be trying this out when I can. Cant do so at work as far too busy, plus keyboard at work is a crappy dell, Razer Black Widow @ home so key distances are not the same. Thanks for the write up and I'll try it out over the course of next week and see how it helps. :D | ||

Do you know of any website that can time you? I want to practice the macro algorithm thing, but all the WPM sites make you type our a preset paragraph or something. | ||

Definitely don't recommend that. | ||
