There are many types of technologies on the market that can make us prefer one brand of peripherals over another, forcing us to choose a model capable of activating everything that a company offers us to improve our skills in a type of game specific. This is what happens with Instant Fauceta keyboard feature Razer which aims to reduce the skill level needed to perform a technique known as “Counter-strafing” among shooters, thereby improving the user's accuracy without having to become overly complicated.
When we talk about a specific type of technology that the development company indicates significantly improves user skills, we may think that it is something unrealistic, but there are times when even if it does not imply that you will become the next professional player who wins on his own, it is something that can greatly help you.
Technology created for shooters, this is how Razer's Snap Tap works
The operation of this technology present in Razer keyboards is quite simple to understand, it is no more difficult than simply knowing that when you hold down one key and click on another that you have previously configured, the second will take priority over the first, but this will not stop its activation. This implies that if we hold “A” and press “D”, the character will continue to move to the left but will stop each time we press the right key, without releasing the previous one.
This in competitive FPS games is something quite important that most players do, since character speed and movement in general affect accuracy, making being able to reproduce this technique in the simplest way possible is a slight advantage over the rest.
In addition, the Synapse application itself allows us to configure which keys we want to activate in this way, so it can be applied to other types of games in which it is necessary to hold a key down while replacing its use by another, like in League of Legends to quickly switch between a priority attack on a nearby target or a priority attack on champions.
The configuration is very simple, just access Synapseenter the options on our keyboard and navigate to Instant Faucetthen we press the “+” and add the keys we need.
Is it worth buying a compatible Razer keyboard?
The biggest question that can be asked about this technology is ultimately whether it is worth getting a specific keyboard to activate it, since it is available in those of the brand that has it created (although there are others that have similar functionality in some models). From our experience, this is something that we can recommend for the simple reason that it allows us to significantly improve gameplay in several aspects, both in single and multiplayer titles, whether it is shooting games or other types of games if you get used to them. to use it.
But what is clear is that, although it is not something absolutely necessary, it will give us a pretty significant advantage, especially in competitive titles for the simple fact that it allows us to significantly increase the precision of each shot, that is, in the end It fulfills the function for which it was created.
On the other hand, there is software called SnapKey which has a very similar function to what it offers Instant Faucettrying to replicate what this technology does in any keyboard, not just in some specific keyboards of the brand Razer. This could be a solution to take into account if we do not want to invest in a new keyboard, but we must keep in mind that since it is external software it may include many more bugs and issues. problems, one of the main ones being the fact that it does not necessarily have to work in all games, since in the GitHub repository itself we can find that there is a list of compatible titles, although this does not does not imply that they are the only ones in which he can be used, but rather that they are the ones whose operation has been verified.
