Hey guys, decided to open a topic to talk about Starcraft 2 gear you use and reviews and impressions of new SC2 gears.
Anyone used the Marauder, Spectre or Banshee yet? Any reviews?

nt worth it...
keyboard is not mechanical which is one of the most important piece for sc2...
jz marketing gimmick wit flashy lights...

Not getting it because the red light indicators shows that you have LOW APM yo!

How do I know if a keyboard is mechanical or not?
Example of mechanical models?

SteelSeries 6GV2, 7G
Razer BlackWidow

mecahnicals are steelseries 7G, razer blackwidow. well, as longa s they cost over rm400, they are mechanical.

Added on January 14, 2011, 2:52 pmthat sc2 gear marauder banshee spectra gear is bullshit. its just another low quality gaming gear with light bulb from razer.

for keyboards, get mechanical, or those rm10 china brand. get 1 white 1 black, switch the important keypad colours. etc. 'I' for immortal...these are important.

mouse, steelseries are far more superior than razer, but razer have claw grip mouse which SS have only 1 kinzu?

earphone, heck it doesnt even matter.

wat matter the most is skill.

mechanical switches, full NKRO...
they improve ur APM a lot...
the easy to get are: SS 6g v2, 7g and razer BW...
the harder to get are the better ones: filco (fruitdealer and other pro gamers in KR using), ducky etc

ps: they cost 300++

I don't remember better keyboard can improves your APM - -
The korean are just using membrane keyboard like DT-35 and their APM could achieve 300+

its due to the actuation point when u dun have to bottom up...
unless u are used to bottoming up thanks to membrane keyboards, then mechanical keyboard is nt needed...
ppl who touch type have around 100wpm on mechanical keyboards due to this...

So Razer BlackWidow>Razer Marauder?

despite using blue switches, yes it is still better...
BW is mechanical bt nt fully since it does nt have NKRO but more than enuff for sc2...

i'm not so emphasize in peripheral, but using a good mouse la, razer deathadder. hahaha am using logitech RM20 keyboard lolz

Skills is all that matters. If you suck on a RM 10 keyboard and mouse, you're still gonna suck on a RM 400 keyboard and a RM 600 mouse

well, the blackwidow costs rm299 atm, but otherwise, the steelseries i think should be rm4XX?...

i heard that if you really want a good keyboard, the blackwidow isn't one, and many said that razer has good mouse, but not keyboards...true? lol

Trying replacing your cheap keyboard with an expensive one and see the result of your game. If it still suck, means you suck.

well i dun last time (i used to ask ppl to get mousepad > mouse > keyboard)...
but when u reached a certain extend u would be frustrated with ur gears...
i'm using a cheapo keyboard and i getting very very annoyed with it...
let it be typing for my work, WoW or sc2...
some keys jz dun register unless u bottom down fully which is not helping when i now touch type alot (u will reach that stage when u type a lot especially if u do coding etc)...
and the lack of NKRO further made it worst when u press keys in such rapid succession...

waiting for filco brown to be in msia and would be picking it up ASAP...
that's how frustrated i am...

PS: blackwidow is generally nt recommended for gaming due to it using blue switches which is meant more for typing and harder to double tab keys...

oh ya in wow when i maximize my dps making use of every GCD i tend to press lots of keys very fast especially on mobile fights... those are the moments when u will feel the need for NKRO etc...

I have 150wpm+ when i'm in primary school... and i believe the primary school's keyboard aren't mechanical...and yes its proven by the softwares used by my Microsoft Office teachers and i got the Microsoft certs as well for typing fast, which is useless for my future purpose.

But i believe with the result of typing fast, i'm able to achieve this in the video below, sorry for the blury capture tho.

if really need NKRO go get a P/S2 KB... that the true NKRO....

True but its slowly getting obsoleted...most of the latest motherboard now only comes with 1 PS/2 slot, but luckily mouse doesn't has any affection by using the USB one.

that.......guy.......in........the.......video.......is.......you......?

i cant even finish a level 5 song in o2jam XD no talent.
