Razer's new keyboard is basically cheating

Clickbait title. Just a different and maybe better solution to reduce your input lag by pushing a key on your keyboard. :messenger_neutral:
 
They made a keyboard act like a controller.
But again PC gaming is bit who can spend the most to get the best performance. it's a bit like those people who buy really elaborate devices to brew a coffee. I mean it's your money.

Or maybe it's like formula 1 ?

I guess with esports they will make sure all people have this.

I've got coworkers who swear they have to have their numpads, but I don't get it. Redundant keys for slightly more convenience, but less desk space. But....to each their own.

Separate numberpads are where it is at. And then you can have your special keys on them too.

I tried my daughter's Razer keyboard and it has some sort of built in hack that forces software auto install just from plugging in the keyboard. Never using Razer products again.

i wish it would be possible to use this keyboard without installing their shitty crappy software

I don't see how that's true. While both the thumbstick and the d-pad can only register a single directional input at any given time and thus technically make input overlap impossible, they both require that the original input is released and that the stick/pad travels the maximum possible distance before another input can be registered. The defining feature of this keyboard is that it doesn't do that - it can register a new input while another one is still active.

The only controllers I'm aware of that can do something comparable are custom ones made for fighting games.
 
This is like complaining people with mechanical keyboards are cheating against people with membrane keyboards. This is just some crazy fast input response time.

If people really want to cheat, they don't need an expensive keyboard.
 

Counter-Strike is constantly evolving. From art, to maps, to inventive plays, and even player input, the CS community shapes the game.

Scripting and automating player commands has always been contentious, but over the years some forms of scripting (e.g., jump-throws) have gained acceptance, as they enable plays that wouldn't otherwise be possible. In fact, jump-throws became such an important part of the game that we've done the work to make them reliable without any special scripting or binds (i.e., by jumping and quickly throwing a grenade).

Developing one's coordination and reaction time has always been key to mastering Counter-Strike.

Recently, some hardware features have blurred the line between manual input and automation, so we've decided to draw a clear line on what is or isn't acceptable in Counter-Strike.

We are no longer going to allow automation (via scripting or hardware) that circumvent these core skills and, moving forward, (and initially--exclusively on Valve Official Servers) players suspected of automating multiple player actions from a single game input may be kicked from their match.

To prevent accidental infractions, in-game binds that include more than one movement and/or attack actions will no longer work (e.g., null-binds and jump-throw binds).

If you have a keyboard that includes an input-automation feature (e.g., "Snap Tap Mode"), be sure to disable the feature before you join a match in order to avoid any interruption to your matches.

eeehhhhh this seems iffy.
 
Wait, so they openly accepted cheating and now they don't because of a keyboard? I guess it's because some people wouldn't be able to afford it while scripts can be used by anyone?
