Start using grid hotkeys, then you can wear out Q and E also.

My keyboard is a bit similar... Its quite cheap, only 7 months old, but the keys that are "broken" are clearly starcraft related and strangely, it all tracks back to zerg, not my play as protoss.

Completely unreadable keys: S, shift, V, B. C is a little scratched, but not a single mark on any other key whatsoever... S is from insane use + finger positioning, V/B/C is because I use my thumb at an angle which guarantees the nail to touch, regardless of length...
Broken keys: D, Z, R... need those drones, lings and roaches. The keys get stuck quite often, which is insanely annoying and I'm currently looking into getting a new keyboard.

I feel like those must be shitty keyboards or something? I have played daily since beta (Zerg) at around 130-140 APM and I have zero wear-and-tear. Strange..

It's not his APM that wore those keys down it's his tendency to SMASH them.

I had the same keyboard for awhile and the same thing happened to mine. The keyboard itself is decent, but the paint over each key wears off incredibly fast like in the picture. After a couple years like half the keys on my keyboard looked like how they do in that picture. ;(

Good god... I had the same keyboard for over 10 years and keys were still pretty much not faded... and it wasnt a super nice keyboard, just one that came with a sony vaio that we had bought.

You just made me notice my keyboard. I'd noticed the keys were fading but didn't attribute it to SC.


I guess I die before I make enough zerglings. Everyone should take a lesson from their keyboard.

This proves i'am not playing enough.My keys still look like they are new. =/

dont worry about it man, you're probably just not hitting the keys as hard as them, i played sc:bw for 4 years and sc2 for 1 all on the same keyboard (random dell one) i've played about 1.5k sc2 games total and 5-6k bw games and my letters are fine
(~350apm in bw, near the end, it gradually went up lol)
(~260apm in sc2, less stuff i see to do, and more lag on average)

Actually if you have 260 apm in SC2 its the same because you have to multiply by 1.4. I'm just wondering what the heck you're doing in a game to get that much apm.
