Razer's latest gaming keyboard feature is now banned in CS:2

Razer Huntsman V3 Pro.

Valve has banned the use of automated dual-movements in Counter Strike 2, kicking brand new features from Razer and Wooting keyboards to the curb. Both decks offer a speedy way to swap direction while strafing, allowing one direction to override the previous in order to avoid that split second of inertia when both keys may be pressed at the same time. This hasn't come out of the blue, though, there's been talk of null binds and other scripting workarounds being banned for some time, but now that some of the best gaming keyboards feature built-in hardware bindings things are getting serious. 

Valve shared its news via a Steam blog post, stating that "we are no longer going to allow automation (via scripting or hardware) that circumvent... 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."
