Wooting joins Razer with a speedy new keyboard feature for PC gaming


Wooting isn’t letting Razer keyboard owners have all the fun.

Rappy Snappy takes advantage of Wooting’s hall effect switches and prioritizes keys based on how far down they’re pressed, so it’s not the same as the last-pressed priority SOCD feature that Razer has branded as Snap Tap. “Razer’s new keyboard is basically cheating,” claims YouTuber optimum, who does a great job of explaining how Snap Tap and Wooting’s SOCD beta work. The debate around this feature looks set to continue in the weeks ahead, and it may end in games just implementing null binds to let anyone achieve this without having to buy a Razer or Wooting keyboard.
