Release notes for GG 68.0.0

07 Aug 2024

Rapid Tap beta firmware for Apex Pro keyboards

Over the next months, we will be rolling out a new, highly requested feature: Rapid Tap for all Apex Pro keyboard owners! Rapid Tap is our implementation of SOCD (Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Directions), built to give gamers a performance advantage in game.
Today, with the release of GG version 68.0, we are releasing the very first step in this feature rollout. Apex Pro keyboard owners can now opt-in to install a beta version of the firmware that enables Rapid Tap using Last Input Priority on the A and D keys to use in-game. It’s a world of difference in titles such as CS2, Overwatch, Fortnite, and more.
Coming up, we will build the functionality fully into GG over a few releases so gamers can customize which pairs of keys (and how many pairs) to which Rapid Tap applies, create custom device configs with different Rapid Tap settings per game, and customize the Rapid Tap variation to use (SOCD Last Input, Absolute Priority and Neutral)
If you are interested, give the beta firmware a go and please provide feedback in our Discord community!
To learn more about how to opt-in for the beta firmware, please read the details on our blog.

We have been hard at work adding a new feature to GG called QuickSet. QuickSet lets you easily setup and automatically launch custom GG level profiles for all your games.
This optional feature is in Beta form and available only (for now) for Apex Pro TKL (2023) and Apex Pro TKL Wireless (2023) owners and for creating, managing, and auto launching SteelSeries Engine configs.
We have even created a few Apex Pro presets for popular FPS games to help you get going.
We would love your feedback on helping us develop the functionality to suit your gaming needs – there is in-app feedback link within the QuickSet Dashboard.
