Valve has banned the Razer and Wooting keyboard features that automate perfect counterattacks in the Counter-Strike 2 game.
Here's What We Know
Razer was the first to add the Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Directions (SOCD) feature to its Huntsman V3 Pro line of keyboards, followed by Wooting. These features, known as Snap Tap by Razer and Snappy Tappy by Wooting, now result in exclusion from the game on Valve's official servers.
Valve explained that some hardware features have erased the line between manual input and automation, so the company decided to draw a clear line between acceptable and unacceptable actions. Players suspected of automating multiple actions from a single game input can be eliminated from a match.

SOCD features allow players to quickly change direction without having to release keys, making it easier to perform counter-attacks. Professional Counter-Strike 2 players have long called for features such as zero binds, which prevent two opposing directions from being pressed at the same time, to be banned. Wooting supported Valve's decision and urged players not to use Snappy Tappy in CS2.
