What's Changed?

Test Bench 0.8.1 is a minor update with only two changes. The first change is the addition of Counter-Strike 2 as a game benchmark, and the second brings the keyboard tests more in line with our keyboard reviews.

New Tests

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive 2

The addition of Counter-Strike 2 as a game benchmark is necessary, as the original CS:GO is no longer available. Nothing will change in the actual tests, meaning we'll still be testing the average frame rate with High settings, the 1% and 0.1% lows, and the average frame rate with Low settings. We haven't retested any reviewed laptops and don't plan to do so. We'll only include CS 2 as a benchmark in new laptop reviews.

Keyboard

There are a few changes in the keyboard tests:

Pre-Travel: The posted pre-travel value is now an average of all measured samples.

Total Travel: The posted total travel value is now the point where it passes our threshold instead of the last point gathered.

Graph: The graph now shows all measured samples instead of just one. See the examples below.
