Playing StarCraft, but every key is as big as your whole fist – a streamer shows how absurd it gets.
Sometimes, everyone probably wishes for a huge keyboard to slam down on out of frustration while gaming. But while some still dream of it, streamer Larva has made a reality and got himself a gigantic keyboard. It’s so large that you can comfortably press the keys with your whole hand.
Who is that? That’s StarCraft pro Lim “Larva” Hong Gyu, who undoubtedly belongs to the best players in the world. In 2017, he won the Zotac finals, which sparked some controversies. He finished the game by pretending to sleep mid-match and played with his foot on the keyboard instead of his hand (via PCgamer). He even made one of his worker units “dance” instead of gathering resources.
What is he doing in the video? In a recent clip, we see Larva gaming again. When apparently having no fun in the matches anymore, he decides to change things up. He pulls a large table from the side into the camera’s view and reveals a massive keyboard, which surely measures about 1.5 meters in length. The individual keys are so large that Larva can comfortably press them with his whole hand (and has to) to operate them.
In the full stream (from about 2:04:50), you can see Larva playing the next matches of StarCraft with this keyboard. Even if you don’t speak Korean, it’s impressive to see how quickly he seems to have adapted to the new, oversized keyboard. Occasionally, he even has to use his hands and feet simultaneously to reach all the keys on the keyboard.
The only downside is that rolling your head over the keyboard doesn’t work so well here.
Could you play with such a keyboard? Or would you be afraid of losing not just a few chip crumbs, but the whole bag?
