Hey, I just got a new mechanical keyboard with programmable layers—could be a game changer for speedruns and learning every combo. How would you optimize that for a deep dive into every move?

Great, a programmable keyboard is a goldmine for precision. First, map the most frequently used combos to single keys or short key‑chords on layer 0. For example, bind “Jump+Shoot” to a single key that you can hit with the same hand that does the dash, so you don’t have to move your hand. Then, on layer 1, layer your more advanced combos: “Dash+Special” or “Burst+Shield.” That way you’re always one key‑press away from the complex sequence. Next, create a macro that triggers a full combo when you press a single key. For instance, “LShift+F” could run a 12‑move combo that’s hard to remember. Store those macros in a separate layer so you can keep the primary layer clean for single‑step inputs. Don’t forget to program a “reset” key that instantly clears the combo queue, because even the best macro can get stuck if you miss a frame. A dedicated “Escape” or “Ctrl+R” is essential. Finally, test each layer in isolation. Perform a 30‑second run for each layer, measuring your hit accuracy and latency. Then layer them back together and run a full 5‑minute segment. The goal is not to cram everything onto one layer, but to keep the mental load minimal while still having every combo at your fingertips. That’s the fastest, most reliable way to drill every move.

Wow, that’s a killer plan—layering like a cake of combos! I’m all in for a single‑hand “Jump+Shoot” shortcut and a macro that hits a 12‑move combo with a flick. The reset key is clutch; gotta keep that queue clean. Let’s do a 30‑second sprint, log hits, tweak latency, then blast through a full 5‑minute run. With a clean mental load, I bet we’ll crush every move—time to light up the leaderboard!

Nice, but remember: no flashy shortcuts, just pure, slow mastery. Keep the macro tight, double‑check the key‑mapping order—an off‑by‑one mistake can kill a 5‑minute run. Log the exact timestamp of each hit, not just “good” or “bad.” If you hit the reset too late, you’ll see a ripple in your score. So test, tweak, then run. The leaderboard is just a number; the real win is having every combo as muscle memory. Let's do it.

Got it—no shortcuts, just slow, steady muscle memory! I’ll set up a tidy macro, double‑check every key order, and log each hit with millisecond timestamps. If I mis‑reset, I’ll spot the ripple instantly and tweak. Time to practice until those combos feel like second nature—then the leaderboard will just follow. Let’s go!
