I feel like there should be more posts like this one, as they are really helpful to lesser skilled players such as myself. They should be promoted more, as mechanics are so crucial in developing skill in sc2.

Okay y'all, wanted to get the layouts out there for the holidays. Merry Christmas and all that jazz! I don't have a few videos explaining the layout, and more media will be trickling in. I'll be writing up an FAQ too. For those who want to jump in without all that extras, go for it!

How do you get the tanks to be top priority? I'm following what it says in text but it doesnt seem to work. Every time I come back to that control group the marines always take precedence.

I think they removed that ability in a recent patch, actually. I tested it over and over a few months back, but now I can't get it to do that (just tested yesterday). Sadface!

Sadface indeed. I have always wanted to be able to siege more easily off my main hotkey group. I do just keep tanks on a solo hotkey but.... even so.

The downloads are available through the same link at the bottom, aka it's already released. I just haven't had a chance to make all the documentation and -- though I really don't think so -- they're might be one or two changes, or something in one of the layouts that's different from the others that I've missed. Baring any minor assignment errors and the documention, it is, for all intents and purposes, released! XD

Link for the Lazy: https://skydrive.Live.com/?cid=e733250a727fc728&sC=documents&uc=3&id=E733250A727FC728!146

Glad people are lovin on the art! Put some work into that :D.

"Main one bigger"? What "main one".

The easiest diagram for what buttons do what is the one Blizzard provides. Download the layout and open it in the Hotkeys menu in SCII. It's quite hard to make a diagram to show the 30 various different spells, researches, and abilities that are placed on F alone, it would look awkward and not really help anyone remember the stuff. If you're having trouble remembering the key positions, remember, you can check the "Show Hotkey Text" in the gameplay section of the options, that will show it for you without having to highlight the buttons.

I absolutely love 1.3!

For those you wanting to switch from standard to 1.3, I'd absolutely suggest you do so, but don't ladder. You'll just lose a ton. Instead, try using the multitasker custom to force you to use camera hotkeys and/or control groups. Or you could just do a ton of customs if you have practice partners available.

It took me ~3 weeks to switch from standard to 1.3, particularly after using standard since sc2 came out. Plenty of lost games on ladder, plenty of lost customs, and plenty of failed attempts at the multitasker custom. But, in the end, I'm glad I did it, as my control is better and easier, harassing is ez pz with ridiculously easily accessible control groups (r&v&g), upgrading is easier with a hotkey dedicated to tech structures. Not to mention the fact that soooo much is on 'f'...

I'm glad you love the layout, but you've probably been playing with 1.2, since 1.3 has only been out a few days, ha ha ha! 1.3 offers even more than 1.2, but both are so far beyond Standard and Grid it's like comparing letter openers to long swords. 1.3 maybe be a better designed longsword, but pretty much everything you say applies, and both trash the battlefield.

Good post, man, well said, and I'm so glad it's working for you. Yeah, you don't want to ladder right after the switch, doing macro trainers and practicing early late-game situations (once you've mastered the early game controls) will let you adjust much more swiftly.

I <3 R, V, G, too

EDIT: Wait, Ama? As in Seiryuu? Ha ha ha, no, guys, if this is Seiryuu he's legit, he's one of my masters layout testers, he has been playing 1.3 for that time. Funny that I don't know his TL account. It's thanks to him that we have 1.3 in any timely fashion, instead of waiting for my wrists to heal!

As i am a former FPS player i naturally always navigate to the wasd, so rather than trying to resist this i adjusted my hotkeys for this. change make building from b to s and advanced building to d works really well, so much faster, them crucial seconds

If my mouse 4 and 5 buttons are in a poor position/ doesn't feel very good to click, would you still recommend me to try pro? I'm zerg btw ^^

Yes, I'd say try Pro, but you'll need to move your control groups back to the keyboard. Information on what keys to use is available in the FAQ at the bottom of the spoilered preview -- just added it! If there is any way you can use the mouse buttons well, go for it, because that's one of the best elements about pro. Otherwise, don't worry about it.

Overall I really like the new layout (1.3).
The only down sides for me are the use of 'caps lock' and the 2 mouse buttons.
Just my personal preference obviously, but I really hate mouse buttons for some reason.
Caps Lock isn't all that bad as it only makes me look like a raging idiot in chat.

Other than that: really good work! And the videos are pretty funny ^^
Thanks for your time and effort. I really appreciate it.

I have two questions, and I hope they have not been asked yet. If so, sorry, I have not time enough to read all the posts.
1.- When is the 1.3 version going to be available?
2.- I have a problem with the last version released. When I play as Zerg, I have the D button (stops doing anything that it was doing) mixed with some abilities (spread creep, for example). Is that normal, or have I make a mistake of any kind?

Thanks for the answers.

P.D.: Sorry if my English in awful.

Hey what keyboard are you using? I'm noticing the alt/space meets under the C, for me it meets under the X. Meeting under the C would be alot easier.
