As a gamer, I wonder how noticeable this latency truly is (2ms - 50ms). The browser runs at "60fps" so any input, by default has a 16ms delay (unless I'm understanding the browser incorrectly). This kind of delay does not phase me one bit. However, if it was 3 frames (ie. ~50ms), how much would that bother me?
- ddingus 8y agoLands right in the "sees last char input hit the screen as next one is being, or about to be typed" range, depending on typing speed.
- matt4077 8y ago50ms = 0.05s = 1/20s Are you sure you're typing 20 letters per second?
- ddingus 8y agoNo, not often. For some common words yes. Depends on keyboard at that point. Some will take it, some won't. In game terms, input can approach that speed, which is really what I was writing to. Should have said, by analogy. For me, a whole lot depends. If I am transcribing, I look at the screen, and it can matter. Same for a quick type of a common phrase. I'll blast that out. For most things, it's a few CPS and slower. And this is all modal. Interactive, like cursor navigation is different from general character input, which is different from common, short words.
