SteelSeries tests a ‘SOCD’ quick counter-strafing feature for Apex Pro.

With Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Directions (SOCD) features like Wooting and Razer’s new Rappy Snappy / Snap Tap enabled, FPS players don’t have to let go of one key to press another, enabling near-instant changes of direction. Some players have called it “basically cheating.”

Now SteelSeries says a beta update for its GG software (68.0.0) adds the same thing for all Apex Pro keyboards.
