I was under the impression that any use of macro keys was a violation of the TOS so thanks you for making this thread. Had I known I could rebind a single key to my macro keys I would have been using them this whole time! I feel like I can finally give up the backspace method of injecting.
wait, people still use backspace?
you do know you can do custom hotkeys now right? any key on your keyboard can be the base camera key...

Hi, was just about to go look for a new keyboard and got interested in the blackwidow one.
Tried to look up some info on the macro keys and if they're okey to use at events(not pro or anything just wanted to know). Came across this: http://forums.majorleaguegaming.com/topic/269843-keybinds/
Don't know if the information still is relevant.
Basicly a staff member of mlg(i think) states that the macro keys on the side arn't permited.
Wondering if anyone got some more info on the matter from a more recent date(was posted 7th of april 2012)

Single strokes bound to them are fine, obviously at MLG they cannot enforce what possible macros are being bound to them so they disallow them completely.

Woolverine you're thinking of macros, what this is is just rebinding hotkeys.
For example many pros rebind next base to something much closer to their fingers.
Also, wow dat bumb. o.0 try the simple questions simple answers thread next time

I also have the blackwidow, but my setup its a bit different, and i think it lets you make your macro cycle faster:
I use the "base camera method" but i rebinded the base camera which is by default the backspace, to my mouse wheel so i press 6 (where my queens are) then inject button and shift, then mouse wheel - left click - mouse wheel - left click so in a matter of a second you have all your hatcheries injected. If you have one less queen and fear that all your queens are just messed up around the map, press the hold position button at the end of injecting.
The good thing about this is that you don't need a fancy keyboard.
Then i use the macro hotkeys for camera locations so if i want to see a base without having to go through the rest because of base camera just tab those 
Edit: Wow, didnt see this was like 2 years ago xD

I would highly reccomend switching to the core if you are worried about your hotkeys. I have a razer black widow too and I find it hard to use all of my screen hotkeys because of the staggered f keys. That's why I switched to the core. Also don't pay 80$ for that keyboard, I got mine off of amazon for 45$ brand new.

Just a warning for those of you who want to try the backspace method. Pressing hold position doesn't really solve anything. Yes, it stops your queens from wandering to another hatchery, but that's really all it does. After pressing hold position your queens will stop moving and hatcheries will remain un-injected.
If you're short one queen or a queen is short on energy, what tends to happen is the next closest queen will walk to the queenless hatchery, and another queen (from another hatchery) will take that queen's place. It starts a chain reaction of queens moving to hatcheries that they aren't supposed to.
The only way to solve this is just to always be conscious of the amount of queens you have and the amount of hatcheries you're injecting in your loop. If you have one less queen you need to be more careful with your loop and not press inject on the unattended hatch, or box select all your queens and inject that way. You can also tell right away if your inject loop is messed up because as you cycle through bases you will start seeing queens moving around instead of just injecting. This is a good way to catch the mistake right away and correct it (hold position might be useful here, but be aware that you still have to manually inject afterwards).

Yeah this method seems really cool, especially on tutorials when you inject 6 hatches in 1 second, but I was not happy with it in real-battle conditions. I tried it for a long time but wandering queens are just silly to me. I really wanted to find the best method, next step was the camera location hotkeys (F-keys). After that I found what works best for me so far - I hokey queens not locations.
