Attention, Master League
Starcraft II gamers: You may have pretty much mastered the game, but do you
wish there was a keyboard more suited to you needs to help you improve reaction
time and accuracy? If so, a Starcraft player already has the answer. Inspired
by the Razer Blackwidow keyboard, Razer Spectre keyboard, and Marauder mouse,
Mauricio Romano built the ultimate keyboard-and-joystick combo for Starcraft II gaming as an entry
for an arcade stick contest over on the Shoryuken website, which he won. The keyboard consists of an Ultrastik analog
stick re-purposed to
work more like a two-buttoned mouse, along with an array of Sanwa buttons used
typically in arcade games. He included buttons for only the most important
hotkeys you would need in a game of Starcraft, so your most-used macros are
always at your fingertips. Overall, there are just 29 "keys,"
including ones for shift, space, and control. A 3D printing company created the
large casing, which is decorated with a Starcraft theme and lined with blue
LED. Sadly, while it does look seriously useful to play the game it was built
for, that's about as practical as it gets. You certainly can't use it like a
normal keyboard-and-mouse combination, so you'll still need your regular set
nearby for switching between gaming and other computer use. Perhaps this could
be further tweaked to be an ultimate keyboard?
