Hai guys,

Not sure if this is the right thread or not - but, as a noob, I've always had a problem remembering to use every single Starcraft 2 Hotkey available - I mean, I'd usually freeze mid-game thinking - what's that damn hotkey?

So I googled for a Starcraft 2 Keyboard. I mean, there are keyboards and keyboard sticker layouts available for just about every other program (even for Logic Pro!) so I thought I'd give it a shot: and I found this:

Now, this one was made BEFORE SC2 beta came out. And it still looks PRETTY sick.

But I also wanted a keyboard that would teach me to use the standard Hot keys as they are - so that I don't have to rely on this keyboard ALWAYS - and obviously, this keyboard doesn't allow for that, it has its own hotkey set.

So does anyone know where to find a keyboard/keyset layout/keyboard stickers/ that has Starcraft 2's current Hotkey set?

(And yus, I know this may seem a very noobish thing to ask - but I admit it I'm a noob. And I do want to improve! But in a lazy way. So we're on the same page here). =)

yeah i actually think this keyboard, other than cool, is pretty much useless

Also, what do you mean by "Starcraft 2's current Hotkey set"?

If you want to get serious about playing starcraft 2 and buy a whole new keyboard for it I'd say its better to learn the hotkeys than to look at the keyboard every 10 sec.
no dude, the question

Use a normal keyboard, these are just silly fads anyway.

What happens when it breaks and all you have is normal keyboard? Or you go to a LAN cafe etc etc etc.

Playing games is how to get better

I don't even know how that keyboard would help you if you did require to look at keys. There is nothing useful on them.

What the hell is the "return cargo" on C.
Also its a waste of money, everyone knows that cheap keyboards are the best keyboards for starcraft

Would you rather keep your eyes on the keyboard throughout the whole game or on your monitor?

I think I can get much more money by selling cheap keyboards that have all the hotkeys swapped with keys of contrasting colors (white colored keys on black keyboard & vice versa) for each races.

Or perhaps Protoss with yellow + dim blue (Shakuras color), Zerg with brown + purple & Terran, grey + black?

Buy a keyboard that allows programmed macros. Way superior.

Well if you want to read up on the different types of keyboards here is a really nice write up

spoiler: Cherry MX: Brown, Red, and Black are the best and PS/2 is better to use then USB

http://www.overclock.net/computer-peripherals/491752-mechanical-keyboard-guide.html

personally I use a speed pad (N52) instead, got use to it playing FPS games
I always try to give a sensitive, reasoned answer. This is usually awkward, time consuming and pointless.

I got a second keyboard for sc2. Its a cheap standard keyboard. I removed pretty much every hotkey thats unnessesary, wich helps me hitting the right key. Also its really loud, i can hear it trough my headset. Dunno why i like that but it gives me comfort
