Except that Remarkable 2 has 20ms latency, same as iPad's. [1]
That makes pencil behave like a real one; that is a user cannot perceive the difference between writing on eink tablet vs writing on paper.

- strangetortoise 5y agoWhile the 20ms latency on the Remarkable 2 is very impressive, let's please not say that users "cannot perceive the difference". At best the latency "does not bother" users. There are whole swaths of professions for which 20ms is a huge amount (professional gamers, musicians, etc), and even personally (And I generally view my lag perception as quite poor) the 20ms on the remarkable was noticeable enough that it did not feel as nice as having a good pen on paper.

- samatman 5y agoApple pushed an update in iOS 13 which brings the latency on the Pencil down to 9ms. Which I remember vividly because it's when latency on the Pencil subjectively "went away" for me. Especially for tight loops in cursive, on iOS 12 the line would 'catch up' with the stylus, but at 9ms I don't perceive that. Edit: crosshatching is an even better example of a technique which feels completely different at 9ms rather than 20ms.
