I was in Diamond league back in 2012, stopped playing for awhile while my kids were young & busy with work, and after getting a new computer I decided to download SC2 again and now I'm hooked again. I did a placement match and got cheesed to death and was so out of practice, I ended up in Silver for now lol but am learning quick and can stop most cheese again now.

Anyway-- my question is this. I used to keep my buildings on the right, and units on the left. In the past, I macro'd with 0 - Nexuses, 9 - GatewaYS, 8 Robo, 7 Stargate, 6 Upgrades -- and 1 - Sentries-Zealots/Archons/Immortals/Observer 2- Stalkers 3- Spellcasters, 4 - Flank, 5-Misc. However, I've noticed that the keys on the left are much faster to hit and it's probably hurting my macro.

So, I came up with this for my new control group, What do you guys think about this setup? Having my nexus and a builder probe always ctrl grouped on the left has helped my macro already, but I'm still getting used to new keys. I try to keep everything I commonly use ont he left side now.

I don't know if I should keep Sentry with Spellcasters or not-- one time I tried it on the ladder, and I was fumbling around trying to get guardian shield & force field & psi storm with hitting tab and I'm thinking if I put it with my main army I can just hit guardian shield and micro them behind the army manually. What do you guys think?
