Originally stemming from micro-management, the ability to expertly control multiple units simultaneously in an RTS, micro has come to mean the general finger dexterity gained from repeated gaming.
1: "He's attacking your base, quick, micro up a bunch of battle tanks."

2: "FPS players may have fast micro but they're kind of dumb."

3: "He's good at strats but he hasn't got the micro."

Micro: Mini, small, tiny.

Micro is also a term used in the RTS "Starcraft," as a term for modified unit control.

Micro can also refer to the descriptions of micro-organisms.

Micro as a unit of measurement is defined as: "One millionth."
"Have you seen my micro hot-wheels?"

"He was able to defeat me because he has really good micro."

"Micro-organisms are too small to be seen by the human eye."

"One millionth of an inch is called a Micro-inch"
