Anyone else use the Naga Mouse with SC2? just wanted to spread the word that i've found it incredibly easy to manage my army/macro/scout control groups using the number keys on the naga... making me able to use my left hand more freely to execute commands and hit shortcut keys much more easier...

i use the naga keys as my control groups as follows

1-3 Ground army/scout
4-6 Air army
7-9 Production buildings and Nexus/Hatch/CC
10-12 not used too hard to hit

i find it SOOOO easy to manage control groups this way if anyone is having troubles with their control groups i highly reccommend the Naga mouse for SC2

i think there was a blue post about it , saying its only cheating if you bind more than one action ( like a macro ) to one button. 1-1 bindings seems legal

-I think you can't accurately move your mouse if you press buttons on its side.
-It's not a very good distribution of left/right hand usage.
-The mouse itself is quite big and heavy. Too big and too heavy for an RTS imo.

1. You can, i have used it for 6 months or so, and when you are used it to, you can use it with high presicion
2. Agreed, but again, you get used to it
3. Personal taste

If it feels good use it. I'm actually in the market for a Mouse but I won't buy anything until i can feel it and hold it, regardless of what it is. This thing looks too uncomfortable for me. with the way I hold my mouse I'd be hitting 3/6/9/12 all the time by mistake

The first couple of days i had problems myself selecting the correct buttons, but with the mouse you get some rubber/plastic stickers (Trainers), which you stick to the buttons and it will help make you used to the positions of the buttons very easy!

I was used to the mouse after like, prolly 3-4 days

The trainers

I know I am bumping this thread. I have a legitimate question and didn't want to start a new thread for it. I'm really curious if anyone knows of any OFFICIAL rule set that says a mouse like the Razer Naga is banned in any lan tournament. For example, MLG. I checked the MLG SC2 ruleset and it seemed to have no specific rules about sorts of keyboards and mice you are permitted to use.

I have trained myself using this mouse to help me access control groups 6-0 and if I see any evidence that this mouse could be banned from lans I want to start practicing without it right now. Does anyone know if there's an official policy on these? Not just speculation, but know for a fact it is banned or has been banned in any lan tournaments.

NB: this is not about a macro mouse. This is about remapping the number keys on to your mouse for easier access. I have no macros set up.

I can't see how they could ban the use of the Naga. It's basically a mouse that has a portion of the keyboard attached. It's not even remapping, I'm pretty sure that those keys default to the 1 - = keys.

Unless there's specific rules banning its use you should be perfectly fine.

Why not play like everyone else, using a proper keyboard and proper mouse?

There is.
It's cheating.

And people got banned for using similar things (keyboards/mouse or whatnot).
There were gazillion posts on their official forums because people that came from WoW didn't know this was illegal.

they wont let u use this at lan's but any online tournament is probably ok, I don't think that the mouse actually helps you though, there are more important things to do with your mouse hand than binding hotkeys o-o

it is cheating because you have to remap the mouse buttons every time you go on to a new computer

Provide a source for your statement, I can't find anything.
