Actually much better than I first expected!

Really liked the aim booster. Best accuracy game by far I've come across. Only miss the simultaneous keyboard activity. (Heart clickmer) increase size to cover most of the screen, so it simulates sc2 better.

Typing game. Meh.

Morrow accuracy game. Meh.

Hotkey game. Meh.

I remember playing the neo multitasking game with the probe in bw! remember it was useful!

@MoosyDoosy
10fastfingers may be good to learn touch typing but it will not help you improve on a sc2 level. If you want to have a good tool, better to go for real software and custom it ( klavaro for example). I dont know what yours hotkeys are but in absolute TheCore should be the way we all play. We dont need half your keyboard to play.(optimization, optimization)

Instead per your method
no no no
i focus on pushing every hotkeys that i have
. My exercise is about warming up all my hotkeys even those which are pushed 1game/100. It's more of a streching exercise.
Also focus means low redundency(i dont really care about spam, i've always been below 30%)

I think if you're new to sc2, now that we can, and before doing hard work like that, you should strat with grid then spend time to build your own config (hotkeys, graphics). That will help to understand sc2 mechanics and practice at the same time.

@LoneYoShi
At proleague level, you focus more on praticing one BO. When you know the map, then the player that you're going to play, you have to prepare for him/ the map.
Basically, player from team A calls player from team B " - come i need to pratice mines drop. 3 hours later - maybe i should try this way. let's go talk with other A player. 1 hours later - ok, let's try this way . 3 hours later - next session tomorrow.

Practice this regimen for a month, then stop and keep playing. You'll find you've improved.

This just makes sure you don't form bad habits. As LoneYoShi said, this method allows you to practice each aspect of mechanics in a clean and precise manner which will create good habits and will carry over into play. Just generally "focusing on mechanics" in game doesn't really help you while this gives you a guideline of clear goals.

I don't think there is anything wrong with focusing on mechanics ingame so long as your goal is not to win but to hit benchmarks, a la Filtersc.

I'm sorry but you're not understanding what I'm saying. For example, when I play piano, my teacher has me do finger stretches, cut my nails, do piano drills, and then we get into the music.

Here it's pretty similar. The "finger stretches" are like 10fastfingers which help with accuracy and screen register time, then the "piano drills" are the macro specific trainers, and the "music" is actually playing the game.

@MoosyDoosy
Ok i understand now. That's because i consider streching and warm up as two different things.
Even if 10fastfingers can help with both, i'll put it on the warm up categorie(goal is to be fast and accurate so streching should be already done)
1) streching
2) warm up
3) training
4) real deal
10fastfingers can be good as a streching tool because you have to move a lot on your keyboard. but as warm up excercice it's bad one.

Enjoy bronze for the rest of your life then.... It helps you improve because when you play against other bronzes you aren't forced to play at a higher level to win... these games help you improve by forcing you to increase your standards and accuracy because when you focus on a single aspect at a time you become better faster at that aspect than trying to improve at everything at once...

Wait a second... I'm going to drop 5 leagues because I posted that on TL? O_O wow

I'm going to try it anyway.

Am I the only one who can't access the "6) NeoMT Multitasking ( battlenet://starcraft/map/2/157767 )" map? (on EU server).
I remember playing it a while ago, but now i'm getting an error saying "Map not found. It may have been removed". Was it re-posted with an other name or something?

Nice list btw, it should really help improve my mechanics.
