Alacritty has kind of a lot of input latency, it's noticeably worse than wsltty and the default WSL terminal -- at least back when I checked it a year ago.
I think some work has been done to improve it, but at this point IMO if you're on Windows then wsltty is as good as it gets for a general purpose terminal. If you're on Linux, xterm is top notch.

- bpizzi 7y agoI don't know, I've got two panes here opened next to each other (tiled/xmonad) with xterm and alacritty, and I've been typing in those for the last 5min, and I really can't tell the difference (my monitor has 5ms latency).
- nickjj 7y agoDoes it have 5ms response time or "input lag" because both are very very different and input lag isn't a spec you'll find on the box. You typically need special hardware to measure it, or find review sites that go out of their way to cover it.
