Could your gaming keyboard be considered cheating? According to some Counter-Strike, Overwatch and Valorant players: Hell yes. An ongoing debate in these game communities is whether a setting on some analogue gaming keyboards called last input priority SOCD, or 'Snap Tap' by Razer, is actually a big no-no or not.
This issue stems from this: tweaking SOCD might make you a better shot in competitive shooters. It also might make you harder to hit. It's most effective in Counter-Strike, for reasons we'll get to shortly. Though it can also be used to some benefit in Valorant and to run a pretty dirty tactic in Overwatch 2, involving a large degree of hitbox manipulation.
