Bad habits from CS... ^_^

Pinky on CTRL/Shift, ring on A, middle on W, index on D. That's my natural hand position, so I always have to slightly move my hand to reach 1-9.

Although, I got used to let my thumb on B/V instead of space, so that's a step ahead.

I suppose this makes sense, if he wants to move the screen without moving his mouse to the edge so he can continue to micro in the center.

To be honest, I still think the drag scroll in sc2 makes more sense, takes like ½ a sec to move the screen and gives you perfect control

I do what most people on this thread do, pinky finger, etc etc..

The difference is that people seem to be attacking the keyboard with the hand-arm in a straight position, while I hold my arm in a 45° position, almost from the side.

I am missing two fingers from each hand - born that way. I use my palm to hit the control button/space bar and do everything else with what you could call my pinky. Shift keys I have to hit the button with my thumb and do a stretch to hit the number keys. Funny enough I type faster then most people (80+ wpm), even with only two fingers on the keyboard with both hands.

Really?

id say pics4proof but that might be a bit inappropriate...and weird.

I play protoss. Pinky on shift. Ring, middle, index on 2-4. Thumb on B. During combat i move my thumb from B to G where it can switch between G and F for Gaurdian/Force and back to B for inbase. Works perfectly for me. GG

I just keep my left hand centered on WSAD. Not like it matters though, really

WASD, but I also use grid key bindings, which to me feels more natural in this position.

The only thing you need to know is that using hotkeys and key binds is absolutely essential. Its completely irrelevant in my opinion for information on how other people position their hands. It's different strokes for different folks. The most effective way to position your hand on the keyboard is what you are comfortable with and the ability to all of your primary keys with ease. It also depends on how you bind your units and buildings. Which again is solely contingent upon your comfort zone. Find out what works for you, and stick with it. Good luck to you friend.

umm, i hotkey hatches to 4 and hit that with my index, S with my middle finger, D for drone with my index finger again, then as the game gets to that point i use my ring finger for Z and Q, and my pinky for setting control groups. that's pretty much it for my set hand position. i hit most other keys with my index or middle finger and it's always the same finger for the same key but there's no rhyme or reason to it. just muscle memory i guess.

I just play the game. I dont know my hand position because I never look at my hand. And changing your hand position won't make you better. Just play the game and your hand will adjust to how you play. Don't force it.

Well when the game starts i play random so i have a fingers on SDE so i can build w/e worker for the race i spawn as. Late game i just use Home row. Probably better ways to do it but eh.
