I never understood how better equipment that is more ergonomically centric isn't something many eSports enthusiasts invest it especially at a professional level. Looking at that hurts.

Because they're kids, and probably poor too. When I was younger I played so much CS 1.6 that I seriously considered going pro. The setup I had then would probably literally kill me now, but when I was a teenager I didn't feel it at all. I could work with anything so long as I had my trusty MX518.

I don't understand why gaming keypads like the Razer Tartarus didn't really take off. Feels so much better to game on than stretching your pinky to hold Ctrl to crouch.
