Would Prof Gamers Be able to use this KeyBoard in the pro scene or would it be seen as cheats?

For Games Like Val, Apex and Overwatch 2

Pros are literally using our boards right now in tournaments.

If a specific tournament organiser considers anything a "cheat" is kind of up to their personal opinions.

It can be that the DKS feature is considered as similar as macros, so that depends on the view. So as indicated you need to ask the organizer.

So far I'm not aware that any game publisher or developer has considered the Wooting as not allowed.

for apex, dks/gamepad remapping isnt really worth it, since it affects your mouse sensitivity in a weird way, so stick with rapid trigger on that game

[hushed vigil]

Yeah I could imagine situations where basically ''no macro's whatsoever'' are allowed so DKS isn't allowed either by that logic.

However, things like Rapid Trigger or Analog Movement probably won't be banned anywhere. Simply put: in the end it's still YOU inputting a (basically single) command per keystroke. Fact that this keyboard can determine when you're letting go of that command sooner than other keyboards or the fact that it can register analog movement just makes it more efficient in certain scenario's. But unless you're not allowed to use 'fast' gamingkeyboards in general or aren't allowed to use analog sticks for movement either... probably won't ever be an issue. In fact, I'm guessing we're going to see other companies try to mimic this stuff. Same with Hall-Effect analog sticks for gamepads (to avoid ever getting stick drift).

I'm not sure about the last one. Consoles are basically sold with loss and they make a lot of money with the peripherals. If they would hold forever people would buy much less gamepads.
