EPTTLO pretty much has based his entire pro gaming career on innovating. I don't think any pro gamers use the naga mouse, even thought it could potentially give you an edge (by simply having more buttons at your fingertips. Not talking about macros), but if someone was to use it, it would surely be TLO.
Is the Razer Naga allowed in pro play? - Page 2

Fuck it, START THIS DRAMA TRAIN, THINK THE WORST OF THIS STATEMENT PEOPLE GOGOGOGO! Edit: you > OP to avoid confusion Double edit: OP doesn't specifically use pro, just implies it since he says TLO in a tournament setting. He is probably saying it because TLO is known for doing unorthodox things in his play. He likes doing things different and so if any pro was going to use a weird mouse like the Naga it would be TLO. | ||

Depending on the type of Naga you have (Naga epic or reg) there is a slight difference in the placement of the buttons. I personally use the Naga Epic, where buttons 1-12 are all usable via thumb, and there are two other buttons right below the mouse wheel. I don't see anything unfair about the naga, I only use the numbers for control groups and have burrow and fungal bound to the buttons under the wheel. | ||

Other then that its just a decision if you want to win, because your gear was superior or because you were superior. But don't worry if you chose the first path, you can explain it to yourself, that its your own skill, because you were clever enough to use it. Personally i don't mind if others use stuff that helps them play better, makes it more challenging. | ||

It might seem like an awesome thing but constantly repositioning your thumb to hit those buttons actually pushes the mouse slightly to the right and causes you to lift off as well as taking away from maneuvering. I've toyed around with a lot of different set ups including using mouse buttons. How does the Razer Naga cause you to lift off? I don't understand this at all. I have been using the Naga since ive started playing and though there are both advantages and disadvantages, mouse accuracy and control is not one of its problems. THe one problem I have observed is that it can tax your thumb if you play for more than an hour or two a day. However, you also have more and easier control groups. | ||

So, since I don't believe Starcraft 2 recognizes each of those buttons unless they are programmed in the mouse driver, I would say the mouse is allowed, but you wouldn't have most of the buttons for use. You dont need drivers for a Naga. By default they are just duplicates of the numpad keys. There is a switch on the bottom of the mouse that changes it from numpad to top row numbers. That is all it is, no macros, no drivers. | ||

Any1 with extra buttons on their mouse can just go to keybindings in SC2 and bind them to whatever they feel like. | ||
