So Razer and Wooting have just released some new features for their analog keyboards which would allow you to just hold Z and spam X, kinda like guitar hero. This would allow you to essentially singletap streams, similar to the setup that Cloutiful had. (See this video for an example: https://youtu.be/Feny5bs2JCg?t=280).
I personally think this is not in the spirit of the game, and would give a significant advantage to anyone who uses these features. I tried it out in offline mode. It would definitely take some getting used to, but I could already tell streaming would be broken. With a little bit of practice, you could stream whatever bpm you can singletap.
I would like to hear the communities thoughts on the use of these features. If this is considered cheating, how would it be enforced? Could osu's anticheat be patched to detect this? And what would the punishment be? I suspect some players might try this thinking that it can't be cheating if you're just using your keyboard's built in settings, so would there be some kind of grace given for that?
