Keyboard Latency · Polling vs path latency

Keyboard Polling Rate vs Latency for Typing Scores: Hz, Milliseconds, and Honest Benchmarks

Polling rate in Hz is not end-to-end latency. Learn how each shows up in typing benchmarks, why Bluetooth can spike delay at high Hz, and how to pair the latency lab with a one-minute test.
