Of course you don't have the ease in and out effect you would with your mouse, but you can have a nice pan of the main base for example, which goes through the production facilities and end up in the natural.

Examples of course

I put it in because of the stutter effect that you get from it, if you can pull it off so its smooth then go for it! I just hate seeing the move then it kinda comes to a complete stop, the mouse scroll is much more effective. Guess i'll have to try that out

iMSystem:

Yea, like I said using the keys you don't get the ease in and out, but you can keep it consistent for longer

I have mine at 2% which is the approximate speed of broodlords pushing for a reference. I wouldn't put it any higher than that.

At 2% it is pretty smooth naturally as you aren't really going fast enough to notice the stop. I have used it once or twice to pan through a main to the natural or vice versa as well as in a slow push. If done correctly it can create a nice "birds eye" feel of a base or in a fight create a panning cinematic feel - it also allows you to have your mouse hand entirely free for highlighting specific units or boxing.

Although I can say I almost never use the arrow keys I like knowing I have the option to. Again I use it so seldom it's hardly worth making a huge point over haha!
