It does have a display also which could probably do a countdown every time a queen injected larvae if you had the knowledge to make it, don't know about that though. | ||

Id consider it a gray area and not allowed in a tourney / LAN, but i wouldnt go apeshit crazy over it if i figured a guy online did it the better macroes would be the easy ones i guess, like a button to make a SCV. I can't really see it improving your play though, its just kinda pointless most of the time | ||

It's more or less scripting. I could just write a computer program to get 10k APM (that muta micro script for BW1 comes to mind). Would that be allowed? How about a program that spends all my money for me so I'm the best macro'er ever? Yeah. Cheating. | ||

This would be so bloated and complicated that you'd never make a macro do anything useful. But yea, simple ones like 5s with mouse5 could do something useful. It's hardly a big deal though. How much time are you saving over actually hitting 5 and s? | ||

Don't worry I don't do that. But come on, what happened to all the complaints about SC2 being too easy? | ||

obviously, if blizzard gave everyone a macro mouse like this when they buy sc2, and told them, use the macro features on the mouse, it's good, cuz everyone has a mouse, now...then i suppose it would be fair, eh? but i doubt that's going to happen... | ||

For people never intending to play competitively, they can do whatever they want and it won't matter. | ||

Someone has a better mousepad than me. Its cheating! Someone has bigger hands than me so they can reach more keys than me. Its cheating! | ||

I can only see two reasonable uses for macro functions, because it is too dependent on where your mouse is pointed at or what is currently selected: 1)Preset unit builds: But pushing a number key and the shortcut for what you want to build will be almost as fast and you will have more control over what you build. 2)Spawn larva for queens: You can use backspace to make sure a hatch is centered in screen. So all you need to do is have your mouse pointed at the center of the screen. Then you push the macro button and all your queens will spit on hatches and then take you back to your main army, all in a second. Really, the only good use I can think of for all the races is number 2. And I'm ok with that as I consider spawning larva every 40sec to be a complete waste of time. It is a tedious mechanic that shouldn't even be there. In the end, I'm playing T now and I use my mouse's 8 buttons for the following: 7,8,9,0,shift,ctrl,backspace,esc. -bb82 | ||

3 D D D TAB A A A A TAB TAB D D on one button, I personally think it would detract from my skill in the long run. | ||

implementing the macros would take so much trial and error, even when its said and done...you'd lose if you relied soley on it | ||
