Zerg baneling micro is probably more unforgiving than anything. Press s at the wrong time and your banelings all melt on some marauders while the marines come back to kick you in the balls.

Half the time I try to make a planetary fortress, I load SCVs because O is close to P and both are on the other side of the keyboard.

Kind of like making two infestation pits when trying to make an ultralisk cavern.

Yay jinro! Sounds like something it might be decent to change, seeing you'll often have them in the same group.

when I just started playing starcraft 2 (early beta)
I rallied all my hatches to extractor instead of mineral patch
When ever I'd notice my bases aren't saturated well I'd just make more and more drones... when I finally realized what I've done I had 30+ drones on that extractor : )

I vortexed my entire army....... with the banelings he had sent after me. I have never wanted a vortex to last longer in my life.

I hit Guardian Shield instead of Forcefield multiple times against a terran timing push.

barely held off a bunch of lings that slipped past my bunker (supply depot was about to be dropped by the scv) they messed up my mineral line. I finished the wall in, kills the lings and more were arriving, attacking my bunker. It was at about half health, so i clicked some rines to jump in it and some SCV's to repair it..... only I was holding down a at the time..... killed my own bunker before i realised what i had done.

Misclicking is a skill that fades away with experience and practice.

It's like a dancer or some other physical performer doing a routine, why don't they ever mess up? Because they have done it so much.

I remember first trying to use the "5" key.. oh man it seemed so far away and I would always hit the wrong one (my keyboard is always under my desk too so I couldn't look while training myself). But now 5 seems more natural than ever and I can comfortably go up to 8 without misclicking.

I switched to Zerg, and we were in this intense standoff. I had saved up a ton of lava, waiting for the spire to finish. I then queued up 30 mutas, then when I was about to send them out and win gainst his marauder heavy army, I realized I had just made 30 overlords instead.

I once pressed G instead of F in order to force field my ramp against a Baneling all-in. My opponent must've felt funny when he saw 2 Stalkers, a Zealot and a cute little sentry surrounded by a big blue globe of utter fail greeting his forces.

Build an evolution chamber at 13 instead of my regular spawning pool and don't realize it until it complete. It happened to me twice.

Or event better, Upgrade the range attack instead of air attack for my corruptor/mutas army.

Because just like any drug, it's all about self control.

If you have a starport selected X adds on a tech lab, C adds on a reactor, and V builds a viking. The amount of times I've done this I don't know.

The most frequent one I get is building a reactor on a Rax instead of a tech lab against zerg. If you don't notice it can delay stim for soooo long. If you go "screw it, I gotta move out, I'll do it without stim" and decide to keep the reactor....get ready for some insanely hard baneling micro.

Anyways, I can't count how many times I've accidentally lifted off when trying to scan. Can't wait for the custom keys.
