I'm totally going to use this for snipes. Sometimes when you run your ghosts in to snipes broods or infestors they die before they can unload with all their energy. This seems kind of imba, but it's practically going to eliminate that problem now.

Unlikely as you would need to install a program on their computers before you play, from what little experience I have of tournaments this doesn't tend to happen for a variety of pretty obvious reasons.

Is it possible that there is a mouse that would let you do this?

well this is illegal unless there is some way to rebind the left click buttons in the sc2 hotkeys but unfortunately you can't as I've tried and it just doesn't work. So the only way to make this work is by using a 3rd party program which will be illegal in tournaments and LANs.

Don't waste your time unless you just want to be an abusive dick on ladder.

The IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 from Microsoft has that build in its software that you download to your pc to use it.
So you don't have to use this program that i linked to.

there is no way blizzard can even try to ban it.
If they try, you can always argue that "Hey, what if I'm clicking left mouse button rly fast?"

There is simply NO clean way for them to disallow this at all.

It seems kinda silly if you download a program or have a certain mouse you can do snipe / infested terran etc faster than even a top player like MVP or Nestea though :/. If it's allowed they should make it so you can rebind it within the game settings. Any vids of mouse scrolling feed back and just waving your mouse over ghosts / infestors?

There's fast and then there's fast. Below is a screenshot from a game I played long ago. I don't use the mousewheel. Instead I have my 'm' button on my keyboard set to 'Mouse Left Click', so I just hold it down and away it goes. I don't know if it's legal for 'offline' tournaments, but I play at home and since it's equivalent to holding down 'Z' to make Zerglings, which Blizzard offers as a game tip, I'm not concerned about it being illegal.

edit: As far as tournaments, if they allow you to bring your own keyboards, and the related drivers, this is nothing more than changing what a single key on your keyboard means. It's not a macro - it's a single keystroke change. If that's allowed in tourneys, then ... It also helps for Protoss warp-ins. I've warped in quite a few Zealots quite quickly. Generally spiking at about 5k apm. The 20k was a result of a lot of infestors

Kloster broke the game. When I was playing for fun on my funday monday/terran account, I would go mass ghost and be pretty successful TvZ. I am going to try it again now.

For those that are questioning the validity / legality of this - I'm 100% sure that this would be allowed in the GSL - players are allowed to install their own mouse drivers and rebind keys as long as it's 1-to-1 key bind. For tournaments such as MLG, it "should" be allowed but time constraints may not allow for it.

For example, I'm using a Microsoft Intellimouse and the built-in drivers allow me to rebind keys. In World of Warcraft, doing such things are very common that gaming mice have been released to have many buttons on a mouse.

Wow, this is huge. This is like almost magic box huge, not quite that drastic but man. I wonder if blizz will patch it out. because if it isnt, i m definitely going to run that for my ghosts. Theres probably a few more uses for this that we havent thought out yet.
