Razer is rolling out an update that massively expands support for its competitive Snap Tap feature, including to Razer Blade laptops.

Razer is expanding support for its Snap Tap feature, which rolled out a few months ago alongside the Huntsman V3 Pro keyboard. It allows much quicker inputs between two keys, particularly when it comes to strafing in games like Valorant, Apex Legends, and Rainbow Six: Siege. Now, the vast majority of Razer ’s gaming keyboards are getting support, along with Razer Blade laptops — some of which are among the best gaming laptops you can buy.

Recommended Videos Razer still says Snap Tap works best when used in conjunction with its Rapid Trigger feature available on Hall Effect keyboards, but traditional mechanical keyboards like the recently released Black Widow V4 Pro 75% Wireless can use Snap Tap as well. Although Snap Tap has been a hit in competitive games, it’s also drawn a lot of controversy. Valve banned the use of any input-automation feature, including Snap Tap, from official Counter-Strike 2 servers last month. A few weeks after Valve’s announcement, the ESL banned Snap Tap features from its competitive Counter-Strike 2 events. Razer has been on the forefront of the esports-focused tech, along with boutique keyboard brand Wooting.
