I’m currently working on some aspects of my APM and I’ve been thinking about the following question:

Is it a good or bad habit to use keyboard macro’s (e.g. Logitech G keys) or is it better to learn standard keyboard keys?


I currently use G keys for common functions like making probes (G1). The macro’s simply replace key combinations such as ‘4e’, which selects my hotkeyed Nexii and build a probe. It means I can often hit a single key to quickly build a probe. I also use a ‘4c’ for chrono boost, and a ‘be’ macro to build a pylon with a probe selected.

My concerns are these:
- Am I taking my hand too far left to be efficient (away from the main hotkeys)?
- Is this a bad habit that would screw me over if I went to LAN comps (or would I be likely to be able to take my keyboard)?
- Is there some other reason this might be ‘bad learning’?

I tried to switch last night to just using ‘4e’ but I sucked at it bad.

Thoughts?
