Are you sure?

I got that exact one and it has a Filco branding on the lower right (or left? I'm not at home right now XD).
It's by far my favourite keyboard, but I think that's a different one - unless he removed that little badge very carefully.

Maybe a Ducky or a Leopold?
There's so many TKL that look extremely similar, aren't most of those manufactured by Costar anyways? That's where my KB knowledge ends...

P.S.
Blue Switches are obvious and before you gouge your eyes out trying to read what it says on the kb: INnoVation

Incredible speed, even if I put in the same practice he does I doubt I'd even come close to his APM. I really hate blue switches though :\ Love all your vids Khaldor, keep em' coming!

When he first set his natural locatiom hotkey, I was like "his drag scroll... is.. soooooooooo slowwww..". Then I watch him play and he barely ever drag scrolls, exlcusively mini map clicks and location/production hotkeys

Yeah looks like it with the little LED windows on the caps cock, F5 and scroll lock keys.

All right, now I gotta watch it once more looking at what he does and not stare at the keyboard XD

The impressive part I took from this is that his play is very effective and on point, it seems like almost no wasted actions

Also, love the reaction at the end after winning..

Though it doesn't seem like the fastest known APM (I believe Losira had a pretty insane rate, and for BW I think July right ?)

Actions that count !

Yeah he is amazingly fast, but honestly most of his competition is probably on par with that so its just par for the course not really any advantage. All those brood war kespa guys are at least that fast.

At 5:00 you can clearly see that he have at least 200 APM with his legs alone

You recording these people while they are playing their matches seems like it would be super distracting to them. Especially when you'd have to be standing over top of him to get a shot of his keyboard.

He seems to be living in BW still. He really should have a talk with Jakatak. Why would you have hotkeys on the other end of the keyboard when you can put them whereever you want?! He had a hotkey on m/n that he used several times and some around the "ö/;"-keys that he had to hit with his thumb while holding down shift with his pinkie. So ineffective! :D I tried to play broodwar and it was like that with everything, just building an overlord took my hand over the entire keyboard.

"Why would you have hotkeys on the other end of the keyboard when you can put them whereever you want?"

Maybe because he has them where he wants? If he would feel like it hinders him he would probably change it. It isn't really ineffective when you have used that setup for years every day and it is the only thing you know. Pressing hotkeys on the right side of the keyboard isn't really hard either when you are using more than 7/8 hotkeys and have you hand hovering around there anyway.

Yes, I know. I don't care that he was using the arrowkeys, my post had nothing to do with that.

Curious, do you ask the players beforehand if they're alright with you looming over them with a camera while they're playing? Or is this an nsa kinda thing?
Also, I'm not sure first person is the best title -- seems like it should be called third person..

Anyways, interesting to watch, thanks for posting it khaldor.

I find it strange that he has hotkeys really far to the right of the keyboard and he didnt put them on the left side, closer to his controll groups. Also, I am sure that I see him clicking with his thumb too, thats really wierd.
Now dont take what I say to the wrong place but I think that innovation has weaker micro when he is compared to other korean terran player in his caliber. I think he is the better macro player, probably the player that has the best macro when it comes to terran, or sc2 in general, but when watching his games on the streams, he wasnt as active with his forces as others are, his marine splits and storm dodging looks, to me at least, not as good as others players micro movements, I guess its because he has less experience when it comes to the "oh shit" moments in tournaments, but I do think that this can and might be a weakness that can be exploited by other players.

The first thing I noticed was that he keeps his wrists elevated, off the table. Like a piano player, not a gamer.

It`s weird because I think Innovation`s micro is just the best in the world. No other terran has his micro management.

Pretty easy opponent so we can't see exactly how fast he is in mid and late game. Especially in TvZ vs Soulkey lol, those games were like 400 APM at least

Damnit, I got beaten to the punch.

I second requests for a Bisu FPVoD, perhaps the good luck omen he needs is being filmed by Korea's most beloved German

There are FPVoD of Bisu, recorded from in game, of BW. I'm actually really surprised people don't use this feature more in SC2... It was done in a lot of old BW shows. I think it's one of the coolest features, being able to watch some1 play while they play, you can learn a lot of small mechanical things from it. Even if it's just for 10 seconds of each player you can just absorb a lot.

I know he played BW, I was sure BW pros would change hotkeys and get used to knew ones because now they can change it to something that is more comftable.

This is pretty much what I was thinking. He does have a control group for all his command centers though he hit is quite a few times. He was on the left side of the keyboard I assume he rebound 0 or something to W probably but thats just a guess.

Also he had certain buildings hotkeyed at times. the ghost academy, ebays and armory to be certain. I couldn't figure out which key it was though because he only used it a hanful of times.

his point is that it is more comfortable that way.
i've done the same for the last 3 years of sc2 having heavy use of 6-0

What is most comfortable is probably similar to what he's been practicing for x amount of years as a BW pro. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, as in if he was able to use those "uncomfortable" key bindings and reach the level of a pro BW player, I'm sure it's not seriously hindering his gameplay or skill which is what they are most concerned with.

Yeah, but I hate the observer smoothing effect they stick on replays, segueing into a little of each players feed is great, saw a game of Jaedong vs Bisu where this was used wonderfully.

So many of my friends love FP cuts etc, sad that MLG stopped having those feeds

Browns are just Blues without the bump/trigger IIRC.

Edit: Speaking of Blues it's crazy how little he bottoms out in the beginning of the video.

So ineffective! :D I tried to play broodwar and it was like that with everything, just building an overlord took my hand over the entire keyboard.


Well, just because it's ineffective and uncomfortable for you...Doesn't mean anything.

What impresses me: Innovation's mechanics and multi-tasking... and BW music!!!

What depresses me (a little): Maybe it's the current state of TvP meta, his sheer confidence, or the quality of his opponent (who was he?), but I realised he doesn't really scout much mid to late game. All he did was scan the 3rd base. He didn't seem overly concerned of the Protoss' unit composition.

He seems to be living in BW still. He really should have a talk with Jakatak. Why would you have hotkeys on the other end of the keyboard when you can put them whereever you want?! He had a hotkey on m/n that he used several times and some around the "ö/;"-keys that he had to hit with his thumb while holding down shift with his pinkie. So ineffective! :D I tried to play broodwar and it was like that with everything, just building an overlord took my hand over the entire keyboard.


When I almost reached gladiator as a holy paladin in WoW I had more hotkeys than I had keys on my keyboard. I ended up having to put half of them on control keys.

It's really really easy to stretch your hands at a great speed when you are used to it.

What depresses me (a little): Maybe it's the current state of TvP meta, his sheer confidence, or the quality of his opponent (who was he?), but I realised he doesn't really scout much mid to late game. All he did was scan the 3rd base. He didn't seem overly concerned of the Protoss' unit composition.


He scanned the main once and he did have a reaper running around his base. It's not like his composition was really ever in question once the warp prisms starting coming without the DTs, he also constantly scouted the 3rd base timing which is how he was able to deny it so swiftly so many times.

His scouting was pretty much extremely on the ball.

Don't get me wrong, I do think he scouted just enough in this specific game, and his multi-tasking skills should be good enough to intensify his scouting, when needed.

I've just seen Life's game, and realised the same thing.

Maybe it's just me, but I remember watching a few BW FPOV games where the player switches back and forth a lot from his base and the enemy's base, from start to finish (maybe it was Bisu and his intense in-base probe micro-ing). It was absolutely dizzying to watch, but impressive. Maybe these specific SC2 games are not intense enough, due to the quality of the opposition (looking at the brackets, Innovation and Life weren't exactly facing top-tier opponents in these matches). I'm not being elitist or nostalgic, but I really look forward to SC2 games being brought to the dizzying heights of BW (pun intended).

I love how Life plays that mobile game before his game. Perhaps it helps calm any nerves by keeping his hand busy?

Man, what a scrub. Can we hurry up and nerf terran already?

Seriously, though, soooo impressive. I always feel daunted seeing stuff like that. I really wish tournaments would set up a fixed cam and mic for just such shots. Not for all matches, but I think the semis and finals could justify such footage.

A couple of things I thought were interesting:
1) He's using a lot of real estate on that mousepad. Assuming the monitor is at 1080p, I'd guess he's at like 600 DPI. I'm playing at 800 and it seems like he's using a greater range than I do.
2) I'm surprised to see him go back to his main base cam late in the game (e.g. 9:40 video time). Is he just checking production with that view?
3) WTF did he do with the arrow keys at 2:20?

Thanks Khaldor, great work as usual.

1) Ya his DPI is incredibly low. I also play low and move my hand alot but he seems to be all over the mouse pad like you said.

2) I don't know what he was doing. Checking production? Possibly concerned about warp prism counters. Perhaps he was checking if he needed to transfer SCVs because of diminishing mineral patches in his main. Who knows. He is a Kespa robot im sure he was doing something.

3) His keyboard scroll is set very low so he was using the arrow keys to set up his location hotkeys exactly where he wanted them.

What's up with that? Khaldor has a hidden fan following we don't know about? Or is the video just being posted everywhere.

Not much variation in PvT unit comp. Its either Zealot Archon or Zealot Stalker, Colossus for the most part. Its Zerg that you really need to scout their unit comp.

things i learned from this vid
1) Awesome terran BW music is exactly 12min long
2) innovation has god like timing n end games as songs end
A truly creative person rids him or herself of self-imposed limitations. ROOT4ROOT! 'this is a strategy made of balls'- tasteless

What's the # hotkey setup for him? Anyone got it listed out?


1 and 2 for units
3 for rax
4 for factories
5 for Starports
6 through 0 are individual Command Centers.


For the F2 I think he does natural expansion, F3 is the bunker at natural, and F4 is where I'm unsure. Is this the main cc or is this production facility, hmmm... someone help me out

m for marine (index)
l for lift/land (thump)
also pretty standard bw control groups

I guess he was already such a bw player to swap to a more "intuitive" hotkey setup

easy win though
the throws never bothered me anyway
