Sample keyboard input lag in your browser
Press keys naturally—we measure keydown-to-paint time in this tab. Useful for comparing setups, not raw USB oscilloscope numbers.
Step 1
Focus the test area
Click the keyboard box so key events and paint timing register.
Step 2
Press keys naturally
Type a few letters—avoid held keys and modifier shortcuts.
Step 3
Review latency samples
See average, spread, and band guidance before a timed WPM run.

Polling Rate and Keyboard Typing Throughput: What Actually Moves WPM
Polling Hz shapes event spacing, but WPM throughput is mostly skill. Learn where Hz helps, when variance beats averages, and how to pair poll checks with a one-minute embed.
