60% of the people would Not allow using GamePads at Tournaments at all ! 40% of the people would Allow using GamePads at Tournaments ! -------- (25% of them even with Macros, and 15% without Macros) -------- | ||

The problem, however, starts when you want to enforce this rule. If people are bringing all kinds of exotic input devices to a LAN tourney and using their own keymaps, how are you ever going to check no one is using macros? For keyboards it's relatively simple to spot. Just watch if what their fingers do on the keyboard matches what happens on the screen. With these odd devices, however? Not so sure. I think it should be fair game to use them in environments like these, but I can't really see it happening anytime soon. Not unless you're playing on controlled systems and the device in question doesn't have any internal settings memory (that would allow you to use macros even without drivers/config software installed) | ||

Maybe the Poll hits 250 Votes, while the EU Servers are getting up again. | ||

I don't know how could they Release the Game without that feature... I hope we will get the SC2Tools for the Released version too Really Soon =) | ||

Honestly its like bringing a Gun to a Knife fight. Nothing fair cool or honest with it. Besides that such a Device usually takes over large chunks of the game for you (ok, mostly the macro shit here). Im not eager to get games which i dont play by myself for 100%. If you have no skill etc. you can have a Gamepad of course to keep the pace with the others xD | ||

I hope that for example a G13 is not "illegal" this way, cause today's Special-Keyboards do like the same things. You can even use macros with them (that I specially think is Useless in StarCraft II) SteelSeries - Merc Stealth ![]() Logitech - G19 ![]() Logitech - G510 ![]() Logitech - G13 ![]() Belkin - n52Te ![]() Tactical Board ![]() (Finally I could attach Pictures in Post =) | ||

Also, the only advantage I possibly see is the joystick being utilized to adjust screen location, and it is arguably neglible as I have been teaching myself to utilize minimap for screen adjustment. Otherwise, the game pad is essentially a keyboard as long as you arent macro scripting. | ||

Having 1 button to hit to do multiple actions will just hinder ur ability to micro. | ||

That said we are splitting hairs I think. I just like to use the game pad, and was wondering about tournaments as I would like to play in tournaments one day. It doesn't seem to be adressed in most rules that I have looked at. | ||

Just looked at your lego pics for your key interface. Pretty ingenious, I love seeing what the imagination can devise. | ||

Anyhow, please post a video of you playing a game on a gamepad..PLEASE. Good Idea ! I will look after, if I can get a camera for this. Maybe I'm gonna make a YouTube VOD about my Basic Key Setup and the Switching of Layers, plus some Ingame usage of the GamePad. (Although I got 600+ in Diamond with my Alt, I still make just about 80+ APM average. So I don't use GamePad to get Insane APM, or to make any Macro. It's just Much More Comfortable for me, and I got used to it So Much, that I just cannot start it over on a Keyboard, where the Columns are not Vertical...) | ||
