Boxer Keyboard View Part1

[neilm680]

I wonder if that mouse still has a ball.

[FrosDOwnz]

I transcribe the audio and translate the captions using Google's services here on Youtube and they're talking about politics while playing Starcraft. Lool.

[SUPERIONWINS]

you seem to have lost your windows key.

[QuickSilverZS]

@SUPERIONWINS So they don't accidentally hit it and delay them.

[bludika]

@SUPERIONWINS you're a dumbass if you think he "lost it"

[FistDaMonkey]

@AltoStratus619 that's not a return mineral button.. it's a rally point button... r is for rally point

[tttc]

Excellent, now all I have to do is mimic his moves!

[benroolz]

WHy doe she bother to have such a high APM right a the start? All you do is build and position SCVs :P

[KCTidusProductions]

@benroolz to warm up, mostly from habit : /

[SCSNSE]

@benroolz It's to get your hand-eye coordination and hand muscles ready for the fast reflexes that will be required later in the game. Think of it as stretching before exercising.

[herpderpmonkey]

@SCSNSE fyi, studies have shown stretching before exercising actually makes your performance suckier...

[Mollifier16616111]

separate pinky and thumb from hand... use 3 "middle" fingers

[reaper06881]

uber micro PP

[bonjwaSC]

What keyboard layout is this? It looks like at the beginning he presses R to build SCV. This is for QWERTY (US) layout. The S key would be the one he seldomly presses. On screen you can see the SCV icon flashing white when he presses "R" but the hotkey is S?

[JelLoSnArK]

@bonjwaSC Hotkeys can be changed. Some players prefer different keys.

[AltoStratus619]

@bonjwaSC its not actually the scv icon, you can see the "return minerals" button flash when he presses R

[superrayman55]

O.o

[cyphercount]

Anyone else noticed that the keyboard lacks the two Windows keys? looool A safeguard to make sure that these keys don't get accidentally pressed at any point in the game :)

[balamut4uma]

У меня 1000-й коммент xD

[AussieMuffin]

Haha he removed the windows key!

[memokk]

that hands will have atritis soonb

[NerdRoyalSC]

What is he using the arrow keys for?

[Suhan64]

@NerdRoyalSC micro with the mouse and adjusting screen position with keyboard

[NerdRoyalSC]

@Suhan64 Fucking hell, thats hardcore! I've never seen anyone do that!

[xXFerrari310Xx]

random question. Whats good/effective against zealots in starcraft 64?

[sh1mz0r]

@xXFerrari310Xx Lots of SCVs

[wakerofwind88]

@xXFerrari310Xx what is starcraft 64?

[xXFerrari310Xx]

@wakerofwind88 starcraft for the nintendo 64....

[FishDontBlinq]

Dude all he was doing was freaking mining minerals and he is typing so many per second it's stupid.... why?

[s0utht0wnjr]

@FishDontBlinq They're used to playing at an insanely fast speed. Keeps your hands warm. Keeps your head in the game. Etc.

[alexkidders]

3:44 OHHHH SHEEEET

[JRH11D7]

is this before gaming keyboards and mice were around or did they just look like that then?

[Sprintspeed]

@JRH11D7 Boxer is the reason gaming keyboards and mice exist. Well, not entirely him, but really before sc1 became so hugely popular in the competitive scene, someone would laugh at you if you considered gaming an actual profession. So yes, this is before gaming gear existed.

[jopedrolopes]

He removed the windows key. Hes a genius.



[tHaH4x0r]

@jopedrolopes

thats actually pretty standard. I have seen keyboards with all keys removed except the ones that are used for 1 specific race...

[IGore49]

@jopedrolopes just get a gaming keyboard and you can turn the window key off

[masteroftheconsoles]

wowhis keyboard is missing windows keys tomake sure he doesent hit them ;P

[Knafi]

@masteroftheconsoles Hello, captain obvious

[TheCrackerBrony]

ghetto keyboard

[kvartalman]

keyboard haven't one key

[UmilchiHexi]

Ahh the good old days when people use the arrow key

[eskuAdradit0]

@UmilchiHexi people dont use them anymore? why?

[OcarinaofTime98]

@eskuAdradit0 I think it's because they don't need to be that fast anymore. SC2 made people lazy.

[eskuAdradit0]

@OcarinaofTime98 oh, I thought it wasn't neccesary in Broodwar anymore. I'm a newbie :)

[EQTrax]

that was like a $2000 monitor back then hahaha

[Gralej]

My grandmother has the same keyboard :D

[ponieeee]

the guy who choked is my uncle. also tim niggers is a korean term it means "very special method of moving the fingers"

[00flammablewalrus00]

he popped the windows key out so he doesnt press it by accident

[sasha19857]

ha ha

[Autschbachfanboy]

he took of the windows keys for savety :D

[amazingstorm]

@jyrofilms that's not broken aim to take out, some of key are useless and may cause miss press.

[FrikZz0r]

@1:52 wat

did he choke?

[DeathBringer769]

@FrikZz0r lmfao i heard it too

[MidnightNinja69]

@FrikZz0r lol no but in the korean language its a way to put a lot of emphasis on a word

[FrikZz0r]

@MidnightNinja69 oh. Thanks for the explanation. It's still funny. :)

[Irishmura]

@FrikZz0r never laughed so much at a comment man! :D

[Typ260]

Removing the Windows-Key is the First Starcraft-Fail-Protection i guess.

[phonged]

one of his keys said LATA

[Taur3x]

1:45 - 1:56 LOL

[PSXDooMERR]

lol no windows keys, thats good

[TheMidnight00]

He once fingered a girl ! ... She died !

[Sebastian781]

Why is he hitting R instead of S for the SCV's? Korean versions of SC have different hotkeys or sth..?

[AdrenaI1ne]

@Sebastian781 Hotkeys are customizable.

[ASSASSIN2142MiG2]

thumbs up if you are watching this in the future and paying the internet police in bottle caps

[MrPwnwow]

Thumbs up if ur watching this in 2011

[LazyKoreanBum]

wtf he uses more macro in the first 30 seconds than me in the entire game

[TigerClaws12894]

notice that the windows keys are removed xD

[ddg363]

Wait a minute that isn't a razer keyboard.

[MarioRuIes]

In first 3 min of game i'm doing this same with my hands

[Jaakex3]

What does the spacebar even do in this game?

[PsylentEye]

@Jaakex3

Brings you to the last "event" the game warned you about. It could be a unit completed, building finished constructing or somewhere being attacked.

[blaxerx]

i have fast APM too but on my girlfriend's body.

[AstropilotStudios]

I saw this...I realise my dreams are crushed...god damn keyboards. How do they work?

[tulp35000]

Why do players spam apm, it's like only 5-10% is really used. I suppose if u don't do that your micro skills dwindle?

[Hoophy]

@tulp35000 its like a warm up. also get you in rhythem. reminds stuff like check group for army, move htem, check base, move works, check army, check enemy, more of a rhythem thing

[tulp35000]

If yall notice, the windows key is taken out, it is on mine too for years now, i just got sick of accidentally pressing it.

[pabloe168]

white keyboards monitors and mouses. such old and good times

[TheSwagSociety]

0:55 tim niggers HA

[Flamez2k10]

@TheSwagSociety .............

[ZoranHT]

@TheSwagSociety lol xD

[bloicraft]

it looks like they just sped up the footage then casted it.

[bloicraft]

freak of starcraft

[xXLuMiNuSXx]

the problem is with SCII all the players are raging fags without poise TLO is the only exception

[FrePuchowy]

He's stupid. If I had such micro I would use it to play starcraft and watch porn simultaneously

[brainwasher9876]

@FrePuchowy watching starcraft makes porn redundant IMHO.

[FrePuchowy]

@brainwasher9876 But I'm talking about Kerrigan on Probe hot DP action

[brainwasher9876]

@FrePuchowy I'd tap that.

[kyos00]

I LOVE HOW HI MOVES HIS MOUSE *FAPS*

[jasdaman2]

I laughed when I noticed the floppy disc on the left side..

[SheldanTube]

@jasdaman2

Right? That shit's old, even for 07... O_o

[masterprivate118]

Ugh... my lungs.

He ACTUALLY COMMANDS his SCVs to return their cargo!

Thank god he's Terran.

[2669Randy]

ouch that would hurt to get backhanded with those wrist bones...

[Terremides]

What is he using the arrow-keys for?

[ArcTimes]

@Terremides to move the screen :d

xD To save time, instead of moving the screen with the mouse.

[Terremides]

@ArcTimes isnt he losing time on that?

[Adkit2]

I'm seeing a floppy disc, an yellowed-white old keyboard in an old video... yet he's playing on a flatscreen? That looks so weird.

[1shot1kills2d]

i wonder who has signed BOXER's keyboard

[kaneitis]

@1shot1kills2d himself

[TheNatth1]

@1shot1kills2d it was me, hehe.

[Okeedontworry]

@1shot1kills2d God? Oh wait why would he sign his own keyboard lol..

[MrCrunchybizzle]

i wonder what the floppy disc is for...

[bood3e]

what keyboard is that?

I want it.

[TazG2000]

@bood3e A 104-key variation of an IBM Model M

[SluggaSlamoo]

@TazG2000 No, its a Samsung QSENN SEM-DT35.

[TazG2000]

@SluggaSlamoo Is it custom painted to look like a model M then? Whatever is in the top left corner definitely isn't the QSENN logo.

[SluggaSlamoo]

@TazG2000 I have a Unicomp Customizer 101 which is a clone of the Model M, it looks nothing like a Model M.

If you look carefully on the left it says Samsung and the right sticker often changes depending on the time of make. The DT35 is what almost all BW progamers use, and the shape and key layout is identical.

[TazG2000]

@SluggaSlamoo "it looks nothing like a Model M" is a bit of a stretch. The LED area is an obvious homage to the distinctive Model M style.

[CharlesFotos]

FLOPPY DISK ? REALLY?

[MrMcaddict]

this is sc1 right?........................­..

[oodeyyou]

@MrMcaddict i think that's pretty obvious.

[lmaolmaox]

@MrMcaddict yes

[lulz121]

@MrMcaddict No crysis 2

[PosionNec]

3:55. That's racist.  "Ya nigga!"

[circa1021]

@PosionNec Chigga.

[babobryan88]

can anyone tell me the point doing actions when you don't have enough minerals to build another scv in the beginning

[magenda66]

@babobryan88 simple to keep the apm up so you dont get lazy ;)

[ShiroKage009]

I like how they removed the windows key altogether from the keyboard!

[Letitbdone05]

@ShiroKage009 please bear with me...since i only play sc from time to time, i don't understand why the left hand has to be busy at the start of the game. from what i do, once i build an scv( tnx for the xtra 50 min) my left hand rests for awhile waiting for the resources to increase..

[ShiroKage009]

@Letitbdone05 The analogy I like to make is that for the best performance, the CPU does its best performance by doing the cycles without using them. Spamming the APM here simply warms you up so that when you do need the 200 APM, for sudden micro battles or managing a swell of buildings, you do not have a lag time that can cause you to lose time/units ... or so I think.

I only watch games and play silver ;)

[Letitbdone05]

@ShiroKage009 thanks man for bearing with a noob..so do you believe a player w/ high APM is better?

[ShiroKage009]

@Letitbdone05 No probs. APM is a tool. If you do not have a good strategy or "game sense" to follow with it it becomes useless. So, not really. Many games I have seen on this very channel had the winner steamroll his opponent with less APM.

[90FirstGenPGT]

Nice! why didn't i think about taking off the windows key during matches!

[90FirstGenPGT]

@90FirstGenPGT More than once have i pressed that stinking key during a match!

[asdnathan123]

soz my keyboard was messed up...i meant to say "thumbs up if u dont use hotkeys on starcraft" =\

[AdrenaI1ne]

Imagine what he could do to a woman with those fingers.

[delomorganano]

@AdrenaI1ne He has a wife :)

[1Rhaegar]

@AdrenaI1ne imagine what he's doing to himself :D

[Intelus]

@AdrenaI1ne

>Imagine what he could do to a woman with those fingers.

Someone will have to explain this one to me since I've seen people do far more impressive things with their fingers (the most basic example being a talented piano player). StarCraft is 90% fast thinking & multi-tasking, this is no Chuck Norris-level awesomeness - the average professional typist can type faster.

No offense to BoxeR, he's a great gamer and everything, but a SC player's keyboard action is nothing impressive.

[AdrenaI1ne]

@Intelus 1. I will say this, you're right about some of what you said. But actually looking at this again, Boxers average APM, in this video at least, is a lot lower than some of the faster players. Some of them can reach 400+ APM, and let me tell you, it gets pretty crazy when they reach that speed. The level of muscle memory and focus involved to pull that off accuretly is incredible...

[AdrenaI1ne]

@Intelus 2. Furthermore, I think comparing this to a piano player or professional typist is unfair, considering a piano sequence is already set and predictable, there is no improvisation or unexpected tasks that require you to use different keys given the situation. And a professional typist just memorizes the positions of the keys and teaches his fingers to move accordingly, which is much easier than pulling off specific sequences like in SC2...

[AdrenaI1ne]

@Intelus 3. Especially given the fact that there's a lot more than just the clicking of buttons going on. They have to deal with the never ending changes happening in the game, making quick decisions in their minds and adapting the right strategies to counter what's happening or to pull through and win. It takes an incredible amount of intellect and focus. So keeping a high APM despite all the different factors required to play the game well is quite a feat.

[Intelus]

@AdrenaI1ne

I agree with everything you've said. Basically, my point was that there's a lot more to StarCraft than just keyboard or mouse action. It's one thing to issue orders quickly, it's another to analyze the situation and formulate tactics/strategy in real-time.

[DarenHD]

@Intelus Have you even ever played SC before?

[Intelus]

@DarenHD

Yes, why?

[DarenHD]

@Intelus Because you seem to know absolutely nothing about it

[Intelus]

@DarenHD

I would like to use this opportunity to remind you that no fucks will be issued prior to receiving a coherent argument which disputes my claim.

Now, to clarify my previous statement: Everything I've previously posted on the subject should only be taken as a direct reply to AdrenaI1ne's comment. The basic point is that a predefined sequence of actions can almost invariably be executed faster than one formulated in real-time, one of the more prominent examples being YT video o27UySo8_Ss .

[wasdwasdedsf]

lol

[sirroger11]

hmm guess im not the only one who takes out the windows key

[asdnathan123]

thums up if u never use hokeys :D

[6Bene]

@asdnathan123

LoL He bans you like you said some horrible curseing :)

[Greenders]

@asdnathan123 lol ur a fail for so many reasons, thumbs up whore fag bag

[poofkaboom]

does this mean I have no life?

[Alexon88]

I need that keyboard.. my keyboard has so wide-spread f-keys.. sux gonna sell it

[Alexon88]

this feels so... Like I would fall down any moment

[MacTechReviews00]

It would be funny if the keys just started flying off the keyboard

[aoahuj]

wtf is he doing with the arrow keys!!

[Biohazard1997X]

@aoahuj key scrolling

[Alexon88]

@aoahuj well upper pro-skill. you should not say wtf about any korean action. I didnt see it neither but I think he needed heavily mouse control on the screen so he scrolled a little bit wwith the keyboard, well and he didd it in ? like 0.3 seconds, so np.

[SpicyHam]

who the hell plays a keyboard without certain keys? that's so newb, this is a clearly a newb playing!

(troll)

[JordanMcCreath1995]

@SpicyHam

You Are Joking Right ?

If Not Your A Fucking Noob Not Knowing Who Boxer Is oO

[DaveHofm]

@JordanMcCreath1995 I dunno ive you realized the little (troll) at the end of his comment

[rlawlaud01]

@SpicyHam They're window keys dumbass..

[jaicou]

i hink nada is faster

[NewDivineWind]

@jaicou From what I have seen, Nada looks much faster.

[Repanocho]

2:44 he goes fucking lagged!

[Pleasesnowplz]

does anyone else use the arrow keys?

[TwistedMetal0100]

@Pleasesnowplz Nobody legitimately good at the game uses arrow keys, you should use the left part of your keyboard

[somedump]

@TwistedMetal0100

Looks like boxer uses them here at 1:40? But it's just the introduction/start, I guess, so everyone can relax and do whatever they want.

[fu7ur3w0rld]

@TwistedMetal0100

Isn't BoxeR legitimately good?

[TwistedMetal0100]

@fu7ur3w0rld I guess I shouldn't speak because I didn't play brood war, but as far as I know, in sc2 you don't have to, which is the game I play so I assumed you didn't have to in brood war, was probably stupid to open my mouth considering i have no clue how you play brood war, and yes, boxer is good :p

[somedump]

@Pleasesnowplz

Only in UMS.

[indolentjoe]

interesting, he pans the screen with the arrow keys while microing non-casting units. seems effective. might learn to do that in sc2 maybe.

[omgcantfindusername]

1:52 /puke

[JTZ00]

the sound of the anouncer makes even watching a keyboard excisting

[kelotiCh]

is this slow motion?

[haloneya]

why am I looking at this,,

[MrLukeRD]

i have the computer monitor and keyboard i feel special

[RIOTPIR4TE]

@MrLukeRD you should feel old

[TheBunnyMN]

yeah my freind tore my windows key out of my keyboard cuz he got mad at it

[deathray797]

@TheBunnyMN most pro's dont have windows keys. they rip them out cuz they are annoying
