You aren't going to notice those problems while playing high sensitivity rts games, they only really matter when you play fps games on low sensitivity and have to make very quick flick shots. Kinzu is perfectly fine for starcraft, just dont use it if you're serious about fps games and make a lot of quick movements.

IdrA and the other EG warriors switched to SteelSeries products when they joined the team, they probably get them for free and found using them to be satisfying.

It's a dodgy mouse, doesn't really matter at all for rts though, most of the pros are just using some random low performance crap. You don't really give your mouse optics a chance to fail all that much unless you go play fps with lowish sens.

a bit of both... obviously pro gamers are required to use sponsored gear, so they check out all the steelseries mice and find out which they like the best.

and yeah i highly doubt youll see any problems with any sensors at the sensitivity most rts gamers use

Iam sure there is no problem with keyboards since steelseries do the best-old-style-nothing fancy ones ( if they just werent so overpriced T_T ) but i have no expirience with theyrs mouses so its hard for me to tell if you can use one comfortly for SC

Ok, updated just now...

If anybody noticed any new entries, changes or even mistakes please make a post in the thread (with source if at all possible) and I'll keep the list up to date. May take a few days, but I'll always update it, since I made this thread my TL-homepage so I can't forget... ;-D

Also thanks to IdrA for clearing it up and good luck tomorrow in RO32!
Maybe some other Pros follow suit and tell us their choices!

How do you fit a QcK+ into a GSL booth?

perhaps the Gracken doesn't conform to the GSL booth, but the GSL booth conforms to the Gracken.

The GSL-qualifier videos Artosis posted on his youtube channel reveal that IdrA actually owns 2 EG QcK+ pads. He cut one of them so it would fit within the deskspace allocated to each player.
I suppose he uses whichever is more convienient?

Liquid`Huk mentioned that the "only bangs on cheap stuff" in the FruitDealer keyboard thread, which implies some kind of membrane keyboard.

Based on GSL videos, Tester/SKS uses a Filco Majestouch (not sure which switch - probably brown), and CheckPrime uses a pink Filco Majestouch with Browns.

Apparently FruitDealer (and some other TSL members) are now "officially" using the new SkyDigital nKeyboard Mechanical, which is a Korean 106-key layout Cherry MX keyboard that is available with Blue, Brown or Black switches.

There's a picture of Day[9] using a Filco, but it's not clear if it's actually his keyboard or that he regularly uses it.

Aside from the wack backspace and enter keys, it looks pretty good. Realistically I imagine it will be nearly impossible to get outside of Korea however.

Good to see this thread getting some pro feedback.

@Fwiffo

Tester does, indeed, have one with browns.

Day[9] doesn't have a Filco. Aside from the fact that it doesn't sound like one in the Dailies, there are several other places where I've seen a quote somewhere along the lines of "some cheap one," so I think it's just a membrane.

This spreadsheet lists the sensors and some information about them on almost all popular gaming mice, it might be useful.

Hmmm, looks pretty cheaply made though... I wonder WTH the 2 AAA batteries are used for!?!?

Yes, I'm very positively surpised by the amount and quality of replies to my thread!


Also HUGE thanks to WinByDefault for posting the spreadsheet with sensor information! Been looking for something like that for years...

Lastly: Genra: I'm proud to see that on TL there isn't just idiots going "The Mamba is so OMFGWTFBBQ good! BEST MOUSE EVAR!!11!!1!" but rather know what they are talking about, like I try to most of the time. And a fellow-german, none the less! Saubere Sach'!!! :-D

A final mini-pro-tip: No matter what you do, don't EVER buy a mouse with a Twin Eye Sensor... (like, indeed, the Mamba, though there is a dozen more reasons why the mamba sucks...)

The battery compartments aren't used for anything. Well, I guess you could stash your weed in them or something. Apparently the OEM reused case molds from another keyboard they previously manufactured - the Bluetooth Filco Majestouch (not made anymore AFAIK.) Since the nKeyboard mechanical is not a wireless keyboard the battery compartments aren't even wired up.

Regardless, it's probably a pretty nice keyboard if you're looking for a Korean layout, and you have your choice of Cherry MX switches.
