Snap Tap vs. Snappy Tappy vs. Rapid Tap

A lot of new keyboard features came out in the recent times; how does SteelSeries stack against the competition?


With all kinds of Snappy Tappy, Snap Taps and other keyboard tech, it's hard to keep track of what's what. As recently, most gaming keyboards adapted some kind SOCD (simulateously opposing cardinal directions) feature, which allows you to keep holding down a button, and press another, and your newly pressed key takes priority.

This became a huge deal for strafing in FPS games, and it also has good uses in fighting games and rhythm games. There's all kinds of powerful uses for this feature.

We'll give you a brief overview of how the competition stacks up against Rapid Tap, which is a feature of our Apex Pro gaming keyboards.

In short, while each manufacturer has their own name for their SOCD, Rapid Tap provides the same, if not more, features with it.

The beautiful thing about Rapid Tap from us is that we extended the support of this feature to all Apex Pro keyboards. We love to bring whatever upgrades are possible to current owners of Apex Pro keyboards, as we truly cherish our community. After all, they helped us test out the feature as we were developing it and helped us make it better.

Our newly launched Apex Pro Gen 3 keyboard line up includes a greatly improved build for super-smooth typing and playing, as well as a host of improvements and new powers to help you win, such as Protection Mode and GG QuickSet. Rapid Tap is one of many features our Apex Pro keyboards offer, as the OmniPoint 3,0 switches offer full 0.1mm-0.4mm actuation ranges across every individual key. And don't forget about Rapid Trigger, either.
