EPTIt makes me even more pissed off cause the keyboard is a piece of crap. There is no reason for it to be on TL except for us to laugh at. Its pretty much a copy of a wow keyboard with a different background and misspelled sc2 names. Why the hell would you want macro keys in sc2 on the right side of the keyboard? Almost every hotkey in sc2 is on the left side of the keyboard for a reason. Im pretty sure i could press "sddddd" in the time it would take to move your hand across the keyboard to hit the zerg marco button (the only macro that makes any kind of sense to me in sc2)

The concept of these keyboards is to cash-in on people to get them to think they'll have a better advantage if they buy the following accessories. Which in theory will not produce any noticable difference. | ||

but i got a question, is there a difference in hotkeys in the different country/area versions of sc2? or does everybody have the same hotkeys? cuz i dont know how anyone could have possible problems remembering the "german" hotkeys. i didnt have to remember anything cuz its sooo logic... didnt have to think about any hotkey after like my third game or something..? plz explain. | ||

Im sure every 12yr old will want one for their next bday. What the hell is wrong with birthday presents? | ||

Isn't USB able to send more signals (key inputs) per second? | ||

Also its really loud, i can hear it trough my headset. Dunno why i like that but it gives me comfort That's what i do too. | ||

USB is limited to how many keys can be pressed and can also be interrupted by other USB devices (not sure how, skimmed the article) but PS/2 can have an unlimited amount. | ||

EDIT: IT WORKS! how exciting, that should help my macro stop sucking quite as much.. although the fact that it's now ctrl rather than shift is weird, plus that they've moved it to F5 and up.. | ||

Also if you notice the numpad goes 1,2,3 instead of 7,8,9. That would fuck me up. If I even used numpad for groups....which I dont. The top numbers work fine. Also my buddy has a keyboard for some FPS...(maybe an old BF2 one?) and its literally the exact same thing but with a different sticker. | ||
