Does DKS actually help in osu? (Wooting Dynamic-Key-Strokes)

Disclaimer, do not use DKS or other modifications to submit scores or falsely impress people.

Data is showing the interval from one key press to the next,

DKS or Dynamic-Key-Strokes is essentially a way to rebind certain sub-actions of your key press to custom inputs, named DKS by Wooting. The Sayo Device also has a similar feature, demonstrated in this video. (To clarify the Sayo Device is not a Wooting product

In this context, DKS is used to cheat by translating your double tapping into alternating tapping
(you press both keys, one clicks, you release both keys, and the other one clicks, repeat)

This helps since it’s easier to click in unison with 2 keys than it is to stagger your clicks with the same total CPS.

This is helps most in osu when “streaming”, which is when the circles are placed in a flowy, smooth pattern, usually a lot closer to eachother than would appear in “jump” patterns ,
the main difficulty in “streaming” comes from tapping fast and precise enough, at a top level, these speeds are ridiculous and simply a physical limitation for most people.

In many of cloutifuls plays he would use this on “spaced streams”:
usually in streams, the circles will overlap, often by a lot, this way it’s possible to get away with shoddy tapping, since even if you double tap you can hit both the circles (admittedly with poor accuracy)
with spaced streams however you can NOT get away with this, there is no overlap so your timing has to be VERY precise, no chance you get away with doubletapping. The performance system understands this, and appropriately rewards such streams generously.

This videos briefly illustrates by just how much DKS provides aid in tapping/setting scores.
There was some debate about this, since you’re still tapping at the same speed, so it can’t help that much, right?
Wrong, after years of playing with alternating key presses I can perform massively better with double tapping.
An average player like myself can transform their tapping to match and even surpass the best players in the world.
