I recently switched to Ergodox keyboard and was wondering about latency since it felt like the keyboard had lag, but I attributed it to learning period.
I was like - no way this is happening, since Ergodox is using USB cable whereas I used Apple's keyboard before. This seems to confirm my feeling.
Interestingly, I think that it's highlighted the most in Slack which is slow enough bloatware to have a lot of latency already and those extra milliseconds just add up. The simpler the editor the smaller the impact I think.
- kohlerm 5y agoI assume your Ergodox is running QMK, which depending on some configuration values had a relatively slow debouncing mechanism. I think times were around 20ms. Checking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWL4nU-vtWs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWL4nU-vtWs which compares it with ZMK it seems like it is down to 8ms, but ZMK is still faster (1ms)

- xlii 5y agoNot really as it's not that of an issue. It's just something I'm feeling and it can be attributed to many different factors - keyboard switch, key travel, software sluggishness. However bring 100+ WPM typer those couple ms could contribute to that feeling.
