Being a Razer product, it will last a month.
You got a lot of pushback, but I'm with you. The laptop I got from them had pretty bad QC. The over-engineered power brick died just outside of warranty. Third-party replacement, albeit 5x the size, lasted forever.
The keyboard I got from them also died for no reason. Most of my keyboards live through trauma, I ain't gonna lie, it's not uncommon for one to eat an entire Big Gulp. But the Razer lived a charmed life and died with no signs of electricity. Very disappointing. Other keyboards post-spill typically come back to life just from a tap water rinse and adequate drying.
Was about to say... got a Blue Yeti a few years back and it was completely unsuitable for online gaming until I got a Monoprice arm to mount it on. Picked up every slightest vibration of my desk otherwise. Maybe nowadays Nvidia Broadcast could clean it up a little.
It's "cheating" only in the sense that it gives you an advantage over gamers that aren't using this kind of keyboard. But couldn't you say the same about having a lower ping, or lower latency display, or better mouse, or a zillion other things?
It makes it so you immediately release one key when another is pressed. I'd put this squarely in the category of "designing a better controller" and not "finding some unethical way to cheat the system".
Correct. Back in the day ping was the biggest thing. Half of us were on dial-up with like 300 ping, the other half were at a university playing on the server hosted on campus and had like an 8 ping. Or the fucks like Joe Rogan who got dedicated T1 line. And these were the days before 'lag comp'. Compared to that state of FPS gaming, cheesing some DADA strafe timing windows through hardware design is absolutely nothing. And neither situation is remotely "cheating".
The other thing is, if stuff like this proliferates, it completely fucks with crossplay numbers, if I'm a Playstation or Xbox owner and we're playing say.. Overwatch 2 or whatever.. Why would I enable crossplay when I'm primarily trying to relax after a long day at work?
Why are you "relaxing" with a competitive matchmade esports style shooter? If your concern is truly "relaxing", well sooner or later you'll sink to the correct MMR and have fun competitive matches facing the occasional dude with goofy strafing and absolutely no other skills to capitalize on it.
Have we really gone full circle to enhanced non-NKRO as a feature?
Pretty much.
Personally I love watching the new tech take shots at damaging online gaming. I can't wait until it's so ubiquitous that online games are a wasteland and investment in future projects is gradually forced to avoid them as no longer a viable medium. That would be my dream.
This is akin to incel logic.
These f'n tiny ass keyboards, smh.
When did humanity's hands shrink so much?
That one is a bit much for me, No F keys? Uhhh. F that.
But I do get minimizing width as that gives you lots of extra room for your mouse to roam and let you run a lower sensitivity. I just can't go any smaller than a tenkeyless personally. Seems like a sweet-spot.
Huh how is this cheating? It's just more precise tools?! Looks pretty cool
Yes, it's just a hyper-specifically designed tool. There aren't immutable laws of how a keyboard must handle multiple inputs.
