Yes, it is plausible for latencies in the range of >100ms, but not for the ones shown in the article.

  You don't think someone with a pretty rapid response time couldn't tense and relax? They may just do it when the latency varies.

    You mean you hit key "a", and while waiting 50ms for it to appear you tense up? No, I don't find that likely.

      For one key, in isolation, agreed, not likely. However, for a string of them? Yeah, could be a factor. My own trigger was mere awareness. Just knowing it couldbe latent to excess triggered that tensing, like "stay ready." All I'm saying is its plausible. People can, do, will respond very differently to these kinds of things. Worth investigation.

      For typing I doubt it, ideally you should be able to type fine if the display only updated every 10 seconds. For i.e. the arrow keys, or anything interactive you will probably have to be watching for the response.

        Agreed. Another example would be gaming with the keyboard - latencies are surely much more noticeable here. I would guess it is similar to music making, where you strive for latencies <10ms.
