EPTwhaat do you think is the best repeat settings?
There is 2 things to lookk at here:
A) The delay
B) The rate
A) The Delay
As short as possible as long as necessary:
The less delay the better as long as you don't accidentally double tap any keys.
- Over most keys you have a good controls, here you could theoretically set quite a low delay. (min delay)
- Over other keys you have a bit less control, meaning you might rest there a bit longer, this is the max delay.
You have to use the max delay as your setting, if you dont want double tapping to happen.
Result: This comes from testing.
Min delay values: 100ms+ are possible, even 50ms for deliberate testing, but its not realistic ingame and depends on your keyboard alot.
Max delay values: 150ms is not enough for some keys like extra mouse buttons, however enough for almost everything on your keyboard. So I'd say about 180ms!
B) The rate: There is differrent purposes here
B.1) Unit production either in buildings or in larvae
- For ZERG a high rate doesn't hurt, since it will only use the larvae.
Here any setting is welcome, from 6ms to 10ms...
- For Unit queues (TERRAN) it DOES hurt, if you stack up too many units, it will steal you money temporarily.
Here you want to have more control, about 50ms to 25ms
- Protoss uses both (warp ins and queues), you have to find your middle way here.
You can of course spam warp-ins and click for queues several times.
B.2) Ability spam
For some abilities you want to use the spam key if you have alot of units. It is limited however by your clicking skill
There is a certain rate at which you can click.
I tested mine: 7/s to 6.5/s this translates into 142ms to 153ms as a setting. These values are higher than the ones in B.1 and thusly covered already, but stated for a complete topic incase you want to go above the rate in B.1.
PS: The double letters/typos where not edited on purpose.
