I'm interested to see if the claims of ~20ms latency on the pen hold up in reviews. That's less than half of the latency of the Apple Pencil and within spitting distance of the 10ms considered to be the holy grail of imperceptibility. I could never get into pen-based input because the latency drove me nuts, but may have to rethink that.
- dingo_bat 9y agoApple pencil was never touted as having particularly low latency. On the other hand surface devices have always made a point of having the best touch/stylus experience, so I won't be surprised if that 20ms really holds good.
- jacobolus 9y agoA year ago when I tested the two back to back, the Apple stylus had something like half the latency of the MS one, and also seemed more accurate. It’s hard to tell how much of that is hardware difference vs. optimization of the signal processing software though.
- smilekzs 9y agoI tried Apple Pencil at an Apple store, and can't help but feel that it low-pass filters much more aggressively than my Surface Pro 4 which uses a version of NTrig2 tech. More low-pass filtering means more effective latency.
