there are G15 razer tarantula
i have seen this keyboard yesterday and said that could be quite interesting to play with this type keytboard sc .
but then i had seen that important buttons are missing . like U for burrow for lurkers .

when sc2 will come out . I Think it will have a Config file like in warcraft 3 .
for who dont know so u can change all your buttons.
what do you think how much will that effect the macro of gamers?
will everyone have a macro like ovv .

I believe it was designed for games like CS, not any RTS. And you won't need fully programmable keyboard if there will be CustomKeys.txt file in SC2 (thanks to that, the only hotkeys I'm using with all races are q-r, a-f, z-v - resembling button position on mini panel). And I really believe it will

Lol yea I was just thinking that as well. Most toss users tend to hotkey Nexus to "0" and that one is missing. So is P for probe.

In wc3 its known mainly as customkeys, and no, they do not give you oov macro. A handful of korean and european and even a couple american wc3 players use them (cant really comment on chineese players), and another handful use customkeys on only a couple things.

When it comes down for it customkeys will boost your macro a tiny tiny tiny bit, but it is much more productive to just play with normal keys. With customkeys comes technical problems, and the issue of having to hotkey different buildings to 1 key then having to hit tab to switch between them.

Oov will have oov macro and boxer will have boxer macro, customkeys changes very little, and almost nothing for the 'foreign' scene.

I won a Razer Taurantula from that contest they were doing a while ago, I love it so much more than my other normal keyboard, but I don't know if I'd actually buy the keyboard because of its high price, thus I am happy I won it instead. I recommend it if you want to spend a lot on a keyboard.

they whole point of the opitums is that your re program the keys on the key eg. change them around cause it is a LCD display on each key so you could have a profile for Protoss,Zerg,Terran and just load it up before you play you dont need in game custom configs.

I was wondering the same thing as meRz, do you actually switch keyboard every time you're done playing or want to write something?

interesting concept, but i think the fps gamers would get to exploit the full potential of this keyboard.

Yes it's designed primarily for FPS games, or games like WoW.

Mappable keys aren't that big of a deal - I don't think most pro-players would be able to do that anyway, going into the reg files and changing things around before a tournament. There's a LOT more than just keys that you can alter with a good knowledge of the reg files, so I'm pretty sure all pro Warcraft 3 tournaments are required to use the original hotkeys.

Fuck this was my idea. Man why the fuck does every single Idea I've had get jacked.
I had the idea for that stupid spiderman silly string arm thing when I was like 12 years old.

Just map every key to match how it looks in the onscreen display in the corner and its perfect.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

That thing's been in "production" for years now, and the 3-button version costs like $100 or something. I highly doubt it'll come out anytime soon.

*EDIT*
Just checked Wikipedia, listed price is supposed to be about $1500...

I was following that keyboard for so long, and then they announce the price.

Holy shit.
