Has anyone benchmarked the keyboard latency of recent generations MacBook Pro Retinas?

  I don't have a way to measure raw USB events, but it takes around 90 ms between me pressing a key on the Macbook's (2015 model) keyboard and a character showing in the TextEdit.app.

    Some of that is surely in the OS and display however. I wonder how you'd go about measuring the latency of a laptop keyboard?

      Patch into the flex cable between the keyboard and motherboard. Maybe if Dan and bunnie cross paths...

  I would also like to know. And would like to know if any of these keyboards listed have had their latency reduced using any methods.

  Macbooks are known to throttle usb polling to something like 32ms toi save battery.

  I measured ~62ms for my MBP 2016 in MacOS 10.12.6 using Terminal, with the "Is It Snappy" app.
