I currently use a Belkin n52te and a razer naga. I do not use any of the macro abilities, but I use my Naga for things like control groups, backspace, etc. I use the Belkin with the grid hotkey setup. So far, it works pretty well for me. I'm not convinced that it is advantageous over a standard 2-button mouse and keyboard, but I'm very used to it from playing other games so it's what I use.

Personally, I think there is nothing wrong with alternative input devices so long as the 1 button - 1 action rule is used.
Behavior is a function of its consequences.

I've been thinking about Tablets and TouchPads, also Controllers can be categorized here. But finally I stayed with the Keyboard-like and Mouse-like Devices. These still make up a lot of Variations.

There is someone working on an iPhone/iPad controller.

I can't imagine playing at any speed with a device that didn't give tactile feedback though.

I have one of my mouse buttons (G9) remapped to select all warpgates (Y since I use grid). This is really helpful since it doesn't take away keyboard hand apm during micro to check on WP cooldowns for the next wave or warpins.

I also use a G15 keyboard but find the G keys useless since macros = cheating and there is no real need to remap anything to them since using regular keys is easier for the keyboard hand on a grid layout.

Protip, don't be like this guy and spend $100 on a $5 mouse because some progamer uses it and magically think you too can become a progamer.

Stick with what you know and use and are comfortable with. Heck, I use a laptop mouse now because my old one died and I've gotten quite comfortable with this one.

That guy should learn how to search for Products on the internet ! =) This mouse cost like $10 in any computer shop.

And indeed newer Devices won't do the BuildOrders instead of you either ! They just give like +20% to your APM (If it really feels better for you, than the one you used before)

"One Button = One Action" since Blizzard is already gonna add customizable keys anyway.

Only thing I've changed in my keybinds is ctrl to a mouse button and thats it :>

After reading I just wanted to respond to this. I would not call my Filco brown switch keyboard or my Xai mouse cheap by any stretch of the imagination. The Xai technically features an ability to macro the buttons (which I don't use), and the keyboard has no such feature. This analogy doesn't quite work.

With keyboards and mice, macro ability does not equate to expensiveness. I avoid razer products for this reason. I can't get around their advertisement since it's always based around macro crap.
