Has anyone seen Razer's new keyboard feature 'Snap Tap'?

I know a few of us here have Wooting's keyboards (and Wooting are releasing their own version of this) but I didn't quite realise how insane this could be in certain games.

Is it a form cheating? It's essentially movement macros at keyboard level right?

It's for the dev's / anti cheat providers of the games to decide if it's cheating or not, similar to how rapid fire / trigger mods on xbox pads used to be a 'grey area'

To me this is less macro/scripting and more just some basic logic on hardware keystroke input. Its still 1 keystroke for 1 action and a slight evolution of Wootings rapid fire/actuation distance.

This is definitely an advantage for counter strafing in CS2. But apparently Valve know about it and don’t seem too bothered.

Doesn't seem like macro level cheating to me. Personally I ride the activation point on my mechanical blacks and like the ability to react on the fly - it is a slight compromise in this context but at least for how I game I think the better overall balance, other people's mileage may vary.

Yeah, I do agree.

I tried Wooting's version out yesterday. They've just added a beta firmware update including 'SCOD' which is essentially exactly the same as 'snap tap' and I found that it didn't help me with how I like to play and felt a little 'off'? Probably something I could get used to although it might have also been because of the game I was playing and how I play.
