Valve has drawn a strict line against the use of hardware automation features that enable players to circumvent core Counter-Strike skills, ensuring fair play.
With automation tools like SOCD, players can switch strafe directions without mastering the skill, leading to calls from pros for a ban on such features.
Currently, players using SOCD features are removed from matches but won't face account bans, indicating Valve's intention to control usage without severe penalties.
Wooting has adopted SOCD reluctantly after Razer, highlighting the competitive pressure and the fine line between innovation in gaming hardware and game integrity.
